This time it’s for real

Well today Michelle and Shelly were going out for lunch- and I was like I’d like to go- cuz michelle eats pretty healthy- so we went to el pollo loco and I had their mexican cesar salad (forgot to ask with no dressing but oh well 520 cal’s not bad for a salad out- I believe it’s 320 without dressing), some avocado salsa (60 calories for 2 oz), and then a chicken leg (grilled 90 calories). Trying to up that protein like I’m supposed to! I could definitely do worse eating out- and honestly it was nice to get out and talk to some people about something OUTSIDE of work! So :p Oh well still staying within 1800 calories- even with all this eating more I’m still at 1720 calories- BUT I’ve already had three glasses of water and plan to finish at least 2 more before I get home so I get in at LEAST 8 today- shooting for 10 from now on.

For dinner I am going to attempt the spicy eggplant recipe on sparkrecipes.com I hate eggplant but I probably should add it into my arsenal of vegetables (yes I fight fat with veggies!). I’m going to make that with the chicken tonight (someone suggested it with chicken sounds good to me). Dinner will also include asparagus and brown rice with that chicken- I’m thinking of making corn too but that might be a lot of food.
