Day 2

8:30 a.m. Breakfast 385 cal/8g fat
Steal-cut oatmeal with 1 Tbsp milled flaxsee, 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup, 1/2 banana, 1 c 1% milk. A smidge of the milk goes in with the oatmeal. This is SUCH a yummy breakfast! Also a POWERHOUSE of nutrition. I'm struggling a bit because after last night my brain wants to just eat, eat, eat! When I am in the zone, this breakfast is very filling. So I shall pop in a peice of gum and drink that water! I am determined to make this a good day! (I seriously hate Zumba, people!)

10:45 snack 135/10
yellow pepper strips, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, low-fat ranch,m and a reduced-fat cheese stick.

12:45 Lunch 345 cal/14.5
salad (broccoli slaw, chicken breast, reduced-fat Feta, roasted red pepper dressing), reduced-fat wheat thins

3:30 snack 190 cal/4.5g fat
Fiber One bar and an apple
5:15 Workout at the YMCA (track warm-up, chest workout, and 20 minutes on the elliptical)
8:45 p.m. dinner 350 cal/ 12.5g fat
1/2 c fat-free refied beans, 3oz chicken breast grilled in southwest seasoning (Mrs. Dash) and 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil, pico de gallo, 1 Tbsp reduced-fat Feta, 1 cup shredded rommaine, and 2 Tbsp. tortilla strips. DELICIOUS! I want more! but I am full so I will walk away! but oh baby, will I do that tomorrow!
Total 1405 cal/49.5g fat

Note to Robin: 45g of fat is pretty tight for me, given all of the healthy fats I try to eat every day. The numbers don't lie. I'm going to shoot for between 45 and 60g of fat per day, leaning on the 45 side. I looked at it for today and I ate really well, but barely squeaked by!

How was YOUR day?!

  1. My day, today has been good, but only because I want to make you Zumba! If not for that, I would have blown it, big time at the carry-in at work. Thanks for keeping me on track. By now, we've talked and you know all about my terrible fat count on Saturday and Sunday. But, Monday was perfect. Maybe a little low on calories, but after Sunday, that's to be expected. Also, did Zumba last night. Tonight, walked the neighborhood with Aaron, while he ran with the neighbor's dog. So, activity is on track too. You are gonna love Zumba!
