Day 9 of 2011

Calories: 1572
Exercise: 50 minutes Advanced Tae Bo (Holy sweatness!)

Today's thoughts: I feel better emotionally today after yesterday's horrible excuse for a weigh-in. Maybe my 45 minute nap helped today! I really pushed hard through my workout. This is old school Billy Blanks and let me tell you, I was sweating just as bad as the chicks on the video!

Eating was good today. I did another one of my breath tests today. This one was for fructose intolerance. It took four hours, so I didn't get to eat until a little after noon, so I again, just ate two bigger meals. I had talked about my sister making a casserole yesterday and not knowing the calories in them.

Well, tonight I made tator tot casserole for dinner. It's a pretty easy recipe...hamburger, cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and tator tots. I was a good girl and didn't put cheese on top (hubby did on his). I made an 8x8 pan. One fourth of the pan was 425 calories. With limited ingredients, it's easier to figure out calories for portions. I also saved out just under 1/4 for lunch tomorrow. I figured it out to be about 300 calories for tomorrow. I'll pair that up with some fruit.

Looking back at my meals for the week, I want to set a goal this week of adding more fruits and veggies. So, my goal is to have two servings of fruits and three servings of veggies every day this week (Monday through Friday). Watch for my progress!!!

Have a great week everyone! This is the first five day work week I've had in four weeks, so hoping it goes well!
