Day 52 ~ 1473 cal/48 fat/186 carbs

Weight: 127.6

What a cold, cloudy day! I am not in the mood to do much, although I will clean my house this afternoon. My groin muscle is MUCH better this morning, but I am not going to the gym. There isn't a class today and I would have just ran on the treadmill or elliptical - I don't want to aggravate this muscle again, so I am taking the day off...PLUS I am getting a much-needed massage today! Yay!!

Breakfast (335 cal/9 fat/44 carbs/14.5 pro): 1 slice Sara Lee Whole Wheat bread (75 cal/1 fat/13 carbs/3.5 pro) spread with 1 tbsp peanut butter (100 cal/8 fat/3 carbs/3 pro), 1 cup fat-free milk (80 cal/0 fat/12 carbs/8 pro) and 8 oz of DELICIOUS fresh strawberries (80 cal/0 fat/16 carbs/0 pro)

Lunch (449 cal/15 fat/48.5 carbs/19 pro): Mediterranean sandwich ~ One 5 oz can Great Value tuna (100 cal/1 fat/0 carbs/11 pro), 2 tsp canola mayo (22 cal/2 fat/0 carbs/0 pro), 1/4 cup lettuce (2 cal/0 fat/.5 carbs/.1 pro), 1 slice tomato (5 cal/0 fat/1 carb/0 pro), 1 tbsp pine nuts (100 cal/9 fat/3 carbs/1 pro) on 2 slices or 1 roll Oroweat Sandwich Thins (100 cal/1 fat/21 carbs/5 pro) with 15 Baked Lays chips (120 cal/2 fat/23 carbs/2 pro).

Snack (0): No snack today - I have thrown my body off because yesterday I didn't have a snack and I wanted to eat again at 9:30 p.m...and today I am doing the same thing - I am learning that my 3 p.m. snack is necessary to ensure I don't eat anything after dinner.

Dinner (409 cal/11.5 fat/52.5 carbs/23 pro): I had the exact same thing as last night (leftovers!)! :)
Pesto Pasta with chicken (270 carbs/5 fat/46.5 carbs/9 pro) topped with 2 oz baked chicken breast (50 cal/1 fat/0 carbs/10.5 pro) & 5 olives (31 cal/3 fat/1 carb/0 pro) with a small side salad (58 cal/2.5 fat/5 carbs/3.5 pro): 1/2 cup lettuce (4 cal/0 fat/1 carbs/0 pro), 1/2 slice tomato (2.5 cal/0 fat/.5 carbs/0 pro), 1 tbsp Feta Cheese President (17.5 cal/0 fat/.5 carbs/3.5 pro), 1 carrot stick (4 cal/0 fat/1 carbs/0 pro) and 1/2 tbsp raspberry vinaigrette (30 cal/2.5 fat/2 carbs/0 pro).

I am hormonal this week so I topped the night off with 1 tbsp Hershey’s Dark chocolate chips (70 cal/4.5 fat/9 carbs/0 pro) ~ this is roughly 35 chocolate chips!

8 p.m. 1 banana (110 cal/0 fat/29 carbs/1 pro) with 1 tbsp peanut butter (100 cal/8 fat/3 carbs/3 pro).

Activity: Cleaned my house & had a massage! It was great!

Tip of the day from www.prevention.com:

The Perfect Day of Eating ~ Control weight and boost energy with hour-by-hour tips

6:30 to 7 AM: Wake Up with Water

“Before you put coffee, tea, or food into your body, it’s best to first break your fast with a glass of water with lemon,” says Ashley Koff, RD, a nutritionist in Los Angeles and founder of ashleykoffapproved.com. When you sleep, Koff says, your body isn’t just abstaining from food but from water too. “Because many vitamins are water-soluble, having a glass before you eat will help your body better absorb nutrients from food.” The acidity of the lemon helps rebalance your digestive tract by making it alkaline, allowing “good” bacteria in your intestines to thrive and facilitate optimal nutrient absorption.
