Today I have been trying to be accountable for all of my calories. I am writing down everything I eat, and breaking down the calories item by item. I really want to make sure I am hitting the right caloric range because, I know that if I am not getting enough calories, or fuel, I won’t be able to burn off the excess… gunk. {lol}
So here’s the breakdown….
Breakfast: 8:45 am
This morning was delicious!

1 slice of light wheat bread (40 cal)

I was not at all happy about this… I was aiming for at least 400 calories. I know, I wasn’t that far off, but this is where the obsessing comes in…
So, I will be trying to make up for that at my next “meal” or my mid-moning snack. I am supposed to eat 5 times a day…

I know this was late for a “snack” but really they are 5 small meals. I knew we would have to eat supper late since Joseph didn’t get off until 5:00 pm, and then he had to go to the store… Such is life.
So after Joseph got home it was time for our mad crazy butt kickin’ workout! And oh did it kick our hineys!!! It was great though. we were sweating and pushing ourselves SO hard! A few times I had to stop because I was light-headed and nauseous! It was intense, even more so than yesterday!
Ok, I promise I’m not usually always this ugly, but this was right after a crazy workout! I am flushed and sweaty… Ewwwwww!!!
As much as I felt like puking then, I had to go cook supper… 😛
Supper: 8:00 pm
(I know late, but there was nothing I could do about that today.)
Stir-Fry!
-
5 oz. Salmon
-
Stir fried broccoli, mushrooms, and snow peas with homemade sauce
-
2/3 cup cooked brown rice
Grand total: 400 calories
That brings me to today’s……. Final total!!!!!
Final total: 1,786 calories!
Yay!!! I hit my range… although my mind does go into a spiral of … whoa… that’s too much… I never eat that many calories… Oh no!… but it’s what the formula says I need, so it’s what I will do!
Welp, it’s time for me to hit the shower and the sack!
Much Love
