No excuses, just had a couple of busy weeks with the new job and going to WV for a few days.  I haven’t been eating terribly but I haven’t been keeping tabs either.

I did the 30 day shred until Day 21 but could not get myself through Level 3 and felt like I really let myself down.  I haven’t really exercised since.  I need to get past this all or nothing mentality, or I’m never going to get anywhere.  My mind and most of my body are ready for high impact exercise, but my knees scream whenever I push too hard and then I’m hobbled for a couple of days.  This usually succeeds in throwing me completely off track.

Today I’m back to counting calories hardcore, and it’s actually easier now that I’m working again.  No sitting around the house with food to tempt me.  Also I drink a lot more water!  They have ice, which is kind of scarce around here without an icemaker.

Here’s my menu for today.

B - Strawberry Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup Kashi Go Lean, and two sliced strawberries

L - Spring Green salad with a little chicken, tomato, sugarsnaps, broccoli slaw, Newman’s Own Light Honey Mustard Yum! and a mozzarella cheese stick

D - Extra Lean 1/3 pound burger, feta cheese, Arnold Sandwich Thin, Salad with carrots, cucumber, broccoli slaw, sugar snaps, and light italian dressing

S - Two 100 calorie packs and a banan

Total Calories according to MyPlate - 1362

No exercise today.  Heading back to the gym tomorrow evening.
