Lost 3 pounds!
The forecast last week was that I would lose at least 2 pounds so 3 is definitely a treat! This means I lost 3 of these:
We restocked our kitchen today to be ready for the upcoming week!
Breakfast: Omelet day! It was hard not to after watching Alton Brown (the Bill Nye of food) on the food network last night teach about making omelets. I had made them many times in my lifetime but he had some useful tips for improvement :)
- Spinach Omelet: 2 Large Eggs (148 cal) .5 cup baby spinach leaves cooked down (10 cal). 1 oz monterey jack cheese (110 cal). Like to also mention that I used 0 calorie Kroger cooking spray. This totaled: 268
- Honey Crisp Apple 77 cal.
Lunch:
- 1 oz slice of moms yummy banana bread (she counted calories for us) 100 cal.
- 1 large banana! Now I feel like I ate more bread but I didn't :) 105 cal.
Dinner: Sirloin steak (not a tenderloin but so affordable and good if cooked right), little less than 4oz steak (210 cal) 1 yukon gold potato (125 cal) boiled first and then sauteed with 1/2 of a small zucchini (15 cal) in olive oil-flavored 0 cal cooking spray.
Dessert:
- 1 oz of fresh coconut meat (100 cal)
- 1 serving of Apple Crisp dessert, made like so...(pulled from wife's blog)
2 granny smith apples (154 cal), sliced and thrown in a pan with 1 Tbsp of Smart Balance (80 cal) and 4 tsp of Splenda brown sugar blend (80 cal). Cooked them down a bit and then added 1 Tbsp of honey (60 cal). Cooked down some more until very tender and all green has left the peels. Spooned apples into 2 glass ramekins and added 1/2 cup of hemp granola (120 cal) and topped with fat free cool whip (60 cal). Calories quoted are for the entire thing, divided by 2 servings = 277 cal each
Water: 96oz
Vitamin: 1 Mens Multi, 6 Maca Capsules
Exercise: First real day at the gym, worked on the elliptical doing a high intensity interval for 1 hour. Burned 909 cal. yay!
TOTAL DAILY CALORIES: 1277
MINUS CALORIES BURNED: -909
TOTAL CALORIC INTAKE: 368 WHOA!
New Daily Calorie Allowance: 2311
Under: 1943
