Breakfast:
- 1 over-easy egg
- 1 slice homemade wheat toast with 1 tsp. light margarine
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup skim milk
What did I just say about a stock photo?? Nothing much to say about this meal anymore. I don't eat the whites. I tried once and just can't do it again.
Lunch:
- romaine lettuce with 1.5 oz leftover grilled steak
- 1 small carrot
- 2 green pepper rings
- 2 oz. light ranch dressing (for both salad and veggie sticks)
- 1/2 cup strawberry slices with Splenda
I can't decide how I feel about romaine lettuce. It's a very solid lettuce. I have a ton of it, so that's what I'll be eating all of next week too. I think I'll go back to regular head lettuce for a week after that. Maybe I'll just alternate the two. I haven't had ranch dressing in awhile (well, except date night). It was ok, but I really prefer my Italian Romano.
Dinner:
- 3 oz grilled chicken leg quarter (quite crispy! flame-broiled - literally, but not intentionally)
- 3 oz yam with spray butter
- 1/4 cup peas
- 1/2 cup sliced sautéed zucchini
- romaine lettuce with Italian romano
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 4 oz red wine
This was some seriously delicious chicken! I may never go back to boneless skinless breasts. Thighs are so juicy!
At this point in the day, I was at a grand total of 942 calories. So we got ice cream. I had a small strawberry daiquiri frozen yogurt cone, which was delicious! I estimate that a small frozen yogurt cone is around 250 calories. So I'm calling this a 1200 calorie day. A success! And it's so nice to be able to ENJOY ice cream, within the calorie limits of my day, rather than regretting that I blew it yet again. lol.
I ran 1.5 miles this morning, burning 225 calories. I also had a 6 mile vigorous bike ride this evening, burning another 180.
It was a good diet AND fitness day! I love those days the best. I go to bed feeling very good about myself, and usually pretty exhausted too! I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.
