I am excited...today I am boxing with Steve!! I am also very nervous, but at least I know he won't be peeling me off the floor after 10 minutes (like he would have two months ago!!)!!

The Espinaca cheese dip was ordered so I estimated to have eaten 4 tbsp (140 cal) with 20 chips (150 cal).

I had a LOT to drink this evening...I wish I hadn't drank so much because the next day was too hard after boxing and sweating my butt off!

Tip of the day from www.prevention.com:

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

1 to 1:30 PM: Lunch

Build yourself a rainbow salad, says Alpert. Start with dark, leafy greens and pile them high with a mix of colorful veggies, protein, and good-for-you fats. Try tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and mushrooms for a healthy mix of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Add 1/4 cup of avocado for healthy, monounsaturated fat, and ½ cup of protein, like tuna fish, grilled chicken, turkey, beans, or lentils. “Get adventurous with different veggies every day,” Alpert says. “The more color and variety, the better.” All of the nutritionists gave the okay on dressing, but don’t drown your salad in it, and choose a light version or an olive oil–based one. “You want some fat in your salad because it helps your body digest fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K,” says Skolnick. Wash your meal down with water.

Bonus Tip: If you want, have a slice of whole grain bread on the side. “People love bread,” says Alpert. “If you’ll feel deprived without it, I’d rather you have the 100 or so calories here than risk going overboard later.”

Calorie count: 400 to 500 calories.
