We had KFC for lunch. I ate chicken breast, left most of the skin, a small helping of potatoes, no gravy, a bit of cole slaw, and a normal serving of chocolate chip cake. I was shocked after I ate and looked at the calories on the cake -- 300 for 1/6 of the cake. It's a pretty small cake! I couldn't believe it would be that loaded with calories.
I was proud that I ate the food my family was eating, but limited my portions. I also passed on a biscuit, which I love. I should have passed on the cake.
Other mistakes for today -- some chocolate -- about 200 calories worth.
Potato chips. Pringles.
Good things -- I snacked on string cheese and almonds -- a serving size, not just unlimited. I also snacked on cheerios. I find cereal to be very satisfying, but I have to watch it and eat a serving. No more of this going back for a little bit to use up the milk. I also ate yogurt with blueberries and a little bit of grape nuts for crunch. Yum!
Oh, let's see -- the rest of what I ate today was 1 bowl of frosted flakes for breakfast. Grilled chicken breast -- average serving. A glass or milk...a banana, 1 sugar free pudding cup.
Ok, I think that's it. I've done well on calcium, could do with more veggies. Probably too many carbs, but that problem would be solved if I eased up on the sweets.
My goals for tomorrow will be to keep my sweets limited to sugar free pudding and yogurt, to up my veggies and to drink more water instead of diet soda.
I also should get a good workout in tomorrow. No workout today -- because it's Sunday, and I just don't do it on Sunday, unless it's a leisurely walk or bike ride.
Random thoughts: I like the string cheese and almonds, but it leaves me wanting more. I think drinking a glass of milk is more satisfying. So maybe I should skip the string cheese, and either just drink milk or have a bowl of cheerios or something. Sugar free pudding really helps my sweet tooth. I tend to forget about it, but I need to be sure to grab that when I'm needed chocolate. I love putting my own fruit and grape nuts on vanilla yogurt. It tastes so much better to me than the kind with fruit already in them.
