Today was tough!

Not fun!  Not because I wanted to eat that which is not allowed (or good and clean).  But because we ate food that I could NOT figure out how to enter into Sparkpeople!  Restaurants really throw a wrench into the plan!  I sat with a good friend and my Mikey at a Thai restaurant and tried to look at the menu in a way that saw past what I WANTED to eat and instead tried to decipher what I SHOULD eat!  Not easy.  I only have a few hard and fast rules for this "diet" and my favorite Thai food (pad see ew) breaks one of them = NO WHITE!!!  No white rice, noodles (ouch), bread and very few white potatoes.  So pad see ew was out! 
Here's what was devoured today:
Breakfast:
2 slices whole wheat toast
2 t. natural peanut butter
(I'll probably cut out listing breakfast after awhile cause I'm such a creature of habit...boring!!)
Lunch:
Mongolian tofu - yes!  I ate the WHOLE serving.  In fact, I just realized I forgot about the...
1 egg roll (oops)
Dinner:
4 oz Pot roast (this beef comes from a totally grass fed organically raised cow.  I like to call him our happy cow)
1 small salad w/avocado, tomato, carrots and a tiny amount of dressing.
Snack:
1 medium banana
1 medium apple

Dinner was tough because I couldn't really zero in on the exact cut of meat we used (chuck steak).  I checked a bunch of entries and gave it my best shot!

So the breakdown today goes like this:
1,687 BMR
1,612 calories consumed
   232 calories burned (yoga)
which leaves me with another negative differential of -307.  Pretty cool seeing that I went over my allowed calories by 62 calories (BAD GIRL!!).

So far so good. Still no sugar Jones!!  I'm relieved that I'm not craving sugar especially because of that time of the month!

Also started yoga up again today.  It's been a loooong time due to a frozen shoulder.  Missed it very much and my stiff inflexible muscles showed it!
