Wednesday September 22, 2010
So today is my day off. I love Wednesdays! My mom took my sister & me to lunch today for our birthdays. (Mine was the 16th & hers the 19th) We went to Chili's. I had my mind made up that I would order the Quesadilla Explosion Salad. It's SOOOOO good. It's also 1400 calories. And I had a coupon for a free brownie sundae, so I knew we were going to eat that. Well.... read on.....
I'm still having trouble "remembering" to write down all my food. But what I'm calling a successful day is when I write everything down HONESTLY!!! Not necessarily staying within a certain calorie range or anything like that. I just want to be aware of my eating. That in itself helps a lot of it. So, here is today so far.....
2 slices wheat toast
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana
Chili's:
chips & salsa (I didn't count how many, but between the 3 of us, there were still about half the chips left.)
House Salad w/ avacado ranch dressing
bowl of chicken & green chile soup
Less than 1/3 of the brownie sundae
So while this is still a pretty big lunch, it wasn't as much as it was going to be.
Dinner is baked ziti. possibly with a salad if I'm hungry
EDITED TO SHOW ACTUAL INTAKE:
The baked ziti was still frozen solid. (I made it a few weeks ago & froze it. So... I had a great big salad.
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, radishes, carrots. Then the "good" stuff: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, 10 tortilla strips, 1 tbsp bacon bits, 2 tbps Light Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. YUM! And 6 sweet baby gherkins.
Exercise: DONE!!! 40 minute wog (2.47 miles) using Cardio Coach Volume 3
