breakfast: one lowfat stick of string cheese (7o cal),

one pack of lower sugar oatmeal (120cal),

one sugarfree redbull (10 cal),

1 banana (110 cal)

a few sips of pomegranate juice(35 cal)

= 345 cal for breakfast. that kinda seems like a lot to me, even though before i counted the calories my breakfast seemed light. i guess i didnt realize how caloric bananas were. i think from now own i will just do half a banana, or an apple. how many calories do you guys usually try to keep breakfast under?? im not usually a calorie counter but i guess i will try and figure them out this week and see if it helps me figure out my food choices more.

Lunch:

a few forks of sticky rice, some tofu and broccoli in oyster sauce, a couple bites of hot dog, a few french fries(less than 10), and 2 slices of watermelon. i feel okay-ish about this meal, because obviously the hot dog and fries, even though they are in a small quantity, aren’t great. but, if this had been me 2 months ago, my lunch would have been drastically different, and much more fattening with less portion control, so i feel like im making progress in one way or another. i feel like im gonna do better at dinner.

im about to go to the gym and im trying to decide my snack between sugar free jello or an activa light yogurt. im leaning towards the yogurt because it’s nutritious and will give me some energy for my hour+ workout.

Snack:

activa light yogurt-70 calories

1 rice cracker- 35 calories

Dinner:

Some plain tofu, and some grilled chicken breast with brown rice.  A small salad with mushrooms, corn, beansprouts, lettuce and greenbeans with balsamic vin. a half a cup of rasberry froyo.

Exercise:  1 hour on the elliptical and about 20 minutes of weights and stretching.

today’s a busy day so I hope i can really stay on track. but ive already worked the gym into my sched for later today in the afternoon. im declaring today a NO M&Ms day. lets hope i can keep it.

I feel pretty good about dinner.  I ate after my gym time and I knew that I had just worked so hard that I didnt want to ruin it with dinner, so I stayed totally on track with dinner. im really happy. anyways, gotta clean my room before my friends come over!

also, uh oh, today is senior night which means a bit of drinking, im gonna keep it to a few drinks. nothing too caloric.

ps. any tips on low cal drinks? alcoholic…?

happy thursday all!
