2011 Food Diary, Day 4

Today was a very high-energy day. Was able to accomplish a lot and that always feels incredibly satisfying!!! After only three days, the hubby and I are visibly "flatter", however I plan to measure at the end of the week to verify:)

Let's get in to the details of the food:

Day 4 (February 3)

Breakfast: My breakfast choice wasn't the most filling or the best choice but it was a run out of the door type thing and I only had enough time to boil two organic eggs, brew my coffee and grab an orange.

Surprisingly, this breakfast held me up all the way through my morning service and my noon-time workout.

Lunch: After an intense cardio workout I was famished. This lunch I put together of one slice of whole grain bread spread with half a laughing cow cheese wedge (only 17 cals), 1/2 a swiss cheese slice, one slice of cured ham, served with 1/2 cup of italian tuna salad I made with green onion, two kalamta olives and lemon juice. a few carrot sticks and half an organic apple hit the spot!

Snack: Depending on what I've consumed, I typically don't always eat a snack in between meals. Only if my body asks for it do I give in. Today I burned little over 600 calories in cardio workout, so needless to say after about two hours of my  healthy lunch, I was once again hungry. Decided to repeat yesterday's "dessert" for my snack. This is only 170 calories but quite filling and delicious!

 

Dinner: Dinner is simmering away. Will be a  ground lean-meat, turkey, and veggie chili made with red kidney beans, zucchini, eggplant, celery and mushrooms for added texture. Served with a teaspoon (dollop) of low-fat sour cream (only 25 calories) and the hubs asked to have this topped with mozarella cheese chunks.

If I get hungry after dinner (which I doubt) I will have 1/2 organic apple with an herbal tea with no sugar.

Excercise: 50 minutes of cardio. Eleptical trainer intervals on high resistance and high speed. 600+calories burned. 

And that's all for now folks:)
