exercise: 60 min. strength training class, 30 min. run

made the chia goodness w/ 1/4 c. oats and 2 T. chia goodness....WAAAAAAY too much food for me. I ate about half before I was full. I think I will go w/ 2 T. oats and 1 T. chia goodness tomorrow...always a learning game.

I managed to make fairly good choices on my road trip but I ate too much and I feel puffy today. That could be from not drinking enough water. I need to stick close to plan today and drink a ton of water.

S: nf greek yogurt, blueberries

b: protein powder muffins with homemade sf cream cheese frosting
l: "chipless nachos"- refried beans, taco meat, queso cheese, lf sour cream, green beans
s: jello mousse temptation
d: ... mexican restaurant where I had soem chips (not good) and a crispy taco, but didnt eat the rice, and only ate the meat filling in my enchilada, with a ceasar salad.

Overall, could have been better. I have such a hard time resisting chips! But, I only had one portion size and a taco shell and was smart about the rest of the meal. Luckily, I maintained my weight today so I'm proud of myself for not jumping off the wagon over a few chips. (definitely need more veggies today though!!!)

SouthLake: Have you tried microwaving a slice of reduced fat cheddar for about 40 secs in the micro? It comes out like a big chip and is a decent substitute. You could even make an OP dip to go with it.
