Yesterday I started the Mediterrian Diet from Ediets.com, as soon as I started it I heard on the news that this diet will not only help me loose weight it will also help prevent alzheimers which my family has a history of. I am actually really excited about getting started. I am going to use my blog to record my daily consumtion of food and my progress. If you would like to get involved in ediets I will send you an email so that you can get started!!

Last night for dinner:
Roasted Garlic Chicken with Veggies: 370 calories
This is like a roast but with chicken, and it was quite delicious! Me and jesse both enjoyed it! It was cooked in the oven with carrots, squash, and green beans! I truely loved it. Yummy factor : 8
Breakfast:
2 slices of bread- Toasted: 100 calories
Peanut Butter: 95
Banana: 86
1/2 cup of milk: 75
I placed a small amount of peanut butter on the toasted bread and added the sliced banana, this is actually is my favorite thing, although the milk was not my favorite but it called for a glass of milk so i drank it!! Yummy Factor : 10 - milk 1= 9.
Total: 356 calories
Workout : 30 minutes of Ellen Burrett's Crunch: Firm and Burn Video, I didn't do the mat work only the warm up and burn portion of the video! This is the most intense portion. I love this video!! And it was only 8 dollars on amazon.com!!
Lunch:
Healthy Choice Tv dinner - Cajun Style Chicken and Shrimp : 240 calories
Rice served with some kind of sauce with chicken and shrimp. Yummy Factor: 8.
Total: 240 calories
Afternoon Snack:
Yogurt: 90 or 100 calories depending on which yogurt I choose, a shake from light Yoplait shake or the light yogurt from yoplait.
The shakes and yogurt are very delicious, although I do not recommend Dannon's Light n Fit shakes they are very chalky and not very delicious. Yummy Factor: 8
Total: 90-100 calories
Dinner:
Chicken Fajaitas: 370 calories
This was very easy to prepare, and it was actually very filling. I ate two small size tortillas that were fat free, in my mind I thought I was going to need more but I really didn't! Yummy Factor: 9

That is all for today,
I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
