2011 Food Diary, Day 3

(sorry, this was supposed to be posted last night but I was exhausted and decided to hit the sack early:)

Great day overall. Busy, but was able to incorporate 40 minutes of intense zumba cardio and stuck to our eating plan.

Day 3 (February 2) 

Here is the breakdown.

Breakfast: The hubs worked from home today (he gets to do so twice a week, always a treat for me) and I stayed home to work on some projects for my business. We both woke up quite hungry and he offered to whip us up some delicious omeletes. Mine was made with two organic eggs, spinach, green onion, mushroom and a half a slice of swiss cheese. Served with one slice of low-sodium bacon. Quite filling and delicious!

Lunch: Always thinking of ways to save time and economize, I typically make a large dinner than can be saved as left-overs and eaten for lunch the next day. This was the case with the delicious chicken soup I made Tuesday night, it reappeared again for lunch and was even yummier on day two.

Dinner: Shrimp and Flounder Ecuadorian Ceviche. There is truly no better, fresher way to eat fish and shrimp than to make it into a delicious and healthy Ceviche. It is so easy to do as well. 1/2 pound of thawed large shrimp with shell, 1lb of flounder cooked with spices, garlic, cilantro and salt and peppper (only takes about 7 minutes for the fish and shrimp to be done), finely sliced red onion, washed and marinated in the juice of about 3 lemons, eeoo, and the water of the drained seafood. also contains chopped tomato, cilantro, avocado, salt and pepper to taste and I add diced jalapeno for kick!:)

Dessert: This is a 170 calorie dessert with no fat and no sugar and it is divine. 1/2 cup of nonfat greek yougurt, 1/2 cup of frozen bluberries, 3 or 4 walnuts. sprinkling of stevia and cinnamon. This is what it looks like all mixed up, I will post a better picture of it in the later post I am making to cover today's meal plan.

Excercise: 40 minutes, 500 calories burned in Zumba Cardio and weights.
