I'm feeling pretty good about how the last couple of days have gone with journaling and photographing my food, and now I can be positive about a third day in a row of following this plan. With today being a work day I was a little nervous that I wasn't going to be able to keep my weekend momentum going but I really didn't have any problems, except for when I got home when I was just famished and needed some energy before snowblowing 4-5 inches of snow from our driveway.
A little more than I have eaten the last couple of days, but still within my target calorie zone (I'm shooting for 2250 per day to allow for a steady weight loss at my current weight) with a total of 2,227 calories.
For breakfast I had a couple of over-easy eggs (cooked in butter, and yes I remember to include this in the calorie count – easy to forget!) on dry english muffin bread, a small ramekin of pineapple, a 100 calorie yogurt and a banana.
I didn't get a chance to have a morning snack, first because I was very busy and second, because I didn't pack anything anyway. My bad. Lunch was a foot long turkey sandwich at Subway, with only lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, vinegar and salt and pepper. No mayo, no oil, no cheese. All in all a pretty healthy sandwich – way better than the Subway Tuna Sandwich I've been known to eat. I also had apple slices instead of chips.
Again, I was very busy in the afternoon and didn't pack a snack anyway, so I didn't get to eat anything else until I got home from work, and I really needed something before starting in on the driveway so I had a cup of pineapple and a protein bar. That got me through to dinner.
For dinner I had a can of Progresso Split Pea Soup (300 total calories, a little richer than my normal fare but I felt like I needed it after working outside), served with a squirt of Sriracha, a piece of english muffin bread covered with a whole avocado (whoops, I forgot how many calories avocados have – another 300 or so!), a handful of chips and some radishes. For dessert I had a couple of Crystal Light Frozen pops (still working my way through the great product sample pack I got from them).
Just 1 piece of gum and not enough water as I was too busy (I know, I know…)
So how do you think I did?
