Each day is truly a new day! It's another chance to make good choices in your life no matter what happened the previous day (don't worry, I was good yesterday--I just didn't have time to blog:). So, I'm sure you'll find that I have a lot of routines in my life now that I kinda stick to. My morning protein shake is a norm for the 5 days a week I workout in the morning and lunch usually has a similar ring to it--but I'm a creature of habit, I think most of us are. So, I found habits that worked for me--foods I liked and just kept doing it. Todays food looked like this:
Breakfast: Protein Shake (180 cal)
Lunch: Goldfish crackers (140 cal), cherries (45 cal), and turkey sandwich (170 cal), 2 big marshmallows (50 cal)= 405
Snack: Fiber One bar (90 cal)
Dinner: Big Bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats (500) & another marshmallow (25 cal)=525
Total: 1200 (my current daily count is 1375)
Does it seem like I don't eat a lot? I don't know if it seems that way to you---but again, my calorie count is MUCH lower now than it was when I first started losing weight and had a LOT more to lose. Now that I only have 23 lbs left, I have to eat less but I'm so used to it and DO NOT feel hungry. If I did, I could eat more because I worked out twice today and am still under my calorie count number. Hopefully you've all gone to LiveStrong or some other website to calculate the number of calories that is right FOR YOU! Let me know how I can help!
Carrie, I didn't know you were blogging. I don't follow blogs, but I think I'll have to start checking yours out! You are so amazing and have accomplished something incredible! Since we've moved I've gained weight. It's been hard. Reading your posts is making me want to be my old self again. Love and miss you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog, Carrie! You are truly an inspiration! I will be forever grateful you invited me to start working out with you. It's been an eye-opening experience and one I've come to enjoy. The times I don't go make a huge difference in my week. Keep up the great work!
