So anyway, I've only been doing this for two days. So far, so good. It's hard not to just eat whatever is in the cupboards. I poured my niece Marian some cereal yesterday and it was hard to not take a handful of dry cereal! I had to stop myself. Mindless eating, you know...
I hope my conscious decisions of what to eat won't end right on Valentine's Day. I want it to become more of a habit than just a 2-week challenge.
Breakfast: Chocolate Slimfast Shake - Total: 190 calories (I used to think these were nasty, but either the aftertaste is better or my taste buds have changed! I like it now!)
Snacks (throughout day): Banana - 100 calories. String cheese - 100 calories. Yogurt - 100 calories. Sugarless chocolates: 100 calories Total: 400 calories
Lunch: Leftover Salsa Chicken with rice and peas: 400 calories
Dinner: One tortilla (not supposed to have that...) with chicken, rice, black beans, salsa, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and Bajio dressing. I have no idea how many calories this is. I know the tortilla was 140. Can I say 600 then? I will for now, anyway. 600 calories (I just realized that dinner is probably why my heart hurts this morning, AKA I have heartburn).
Total Calories: 1590, so round up to 1600 calories.
I only had about 50 ounces of water. Dang it's hard to drink that much! I have to go to the bathroom a ton more now! I can't leave the front desk without someone covering the phone for me, so I feel bad because almost every hour at work yesterday I had to go! But seriously, everyone needs to leave their desk once in a while. It's too hard to sit there ALL day.
I don't really have a goal of how many calories to eat every day, but I try between 1200-1600. I had more calories than I planned, but I worked out extra long last night and burned 550 calories and 92 carbs on the elliptical!
Soon I'll be like this:
Never mind, I take that back. I don't want to be anything like this.
How are you doing with the new eating program? I want to see a post!!
