I didn't blog yesterday...not sure why? Just wasn't feeling it. But I regret my decision. I think this is a really good way to stay in touch and aware of my health. It's so easy to backslide and I'm just not going there! Tomorrow we celebrate Mike's 48th birthday at a really nice restaurant here in town. I'm starting to think now about planning my meal and whether or not to have dessert. This is a lifestyle, not a diet, so I have to be realistic. Will I really turn down birthday cake? Would it be right to? I don't want to be militaristic about this and make other people feel uncomfortable.
Here's how YESTERDAY went:
Breakfast:
not much different here!
Lunch:
1 portion Veggie stir fry w/tofu and peanut sauce. This was a tough one. Tasted so very good, but I knew the peanut sauce was a bad idea. Next time I'll ask for the sauce on the side. In fact, I'll ask for all sauce on the side!
1 C. brown rice
Dinner:
1 portion meatloaf (Mike's famous meatloaf! Could have eaten the WHOLE thing.)
1 sm. salad
1 med. yam - baked
Snack:
1 med. apple
1 short soy latte
I'm starting to be able to eyeball portion sizes. It really helped to go through Sparkpeople's explanation of what a portion looks like. Although my calorie count was high today, I was happy with almost all my choices. I also think the counts may be a bit high because I counted cal's on store bought food instead of homemade. Not going to be too stringent about it!
Here's the breakdown:
1,666. cal. consumed
1,677. cal BMR
381. cal exercise (yoga and a long steep hill walk!)
-392 differential
All in all it was a GOOD day!
