Day 5, Victory is Mine!
Well yesterday I FINALLY got in the 1400-1600 range. I actually hit 1556 calories. I guess the big thing is I was very conscious about my nighttime eating. I started getting craving around 930, so instead of eating a crapload out of my kitchen I chose to make a beef veggie soup with beef broth, mushroom, onions, garlic, and 1/2 cup corn. I made probably 4 servings. I ate 2 servings with 1 slice of "buttered" bread (spray) and felt pretty satisfied. I felt pretty satisfied but I was up later studying and decided to try the water trick but my stomach kept growling so I had a piece of bread with 1T peanut butter. Perfect. Lasted me the next 1 1/2 hours till bed. So now here are my Top 2 recipes of the week:
SF Homemade Latte
You'll need 2/3C double strong coffee, 1C milk and 1-2T your favorite sugar free sweetener (I use Starbucks SF Caramel. It's super!)
1) While brewing the coffee, steam your milk by heating it in a pot till it's nearly boiling or put it in the microwave about 2-3 minutes. When it's steaming use a whisk and fluff it up.
2) Pour the coffee into a mug, add the syrup, add milk scooping the foam on top. I LOVE THESE!
THIS 16 0Z COFFEE IS 90 CALORIES! IT ALL COMES FROM THE MILK!
The second is the omelet I had for breakfast this morning
Fajita Omelet
You'll need- 3 egg whites, 1C thinly sliced or 1/2 C diced peppers, your fave salsa and light sour cream.
1) Saute 1C of peppers in a pan using PAM. When they are lightly cooked put them in the bowl of egg whites and mix.
2) Re-PAM the pan, pour egg mixture. Cover, let set and flip. Put 1T of light sour cream in the middle along with your favorite salsa.
120 CALORIES!!!
My entire breakfast consisted of a Latte, Fajita Omelet, 1C zuchinni, and 3oz potatoes sauteed in 1t olive oil. ALL FOR A TOTAL OF (DRUMROLL PLEASE!)
