Day #2

I survived Day #1, but I am only down 1/2 a pound. I was kind of disappointed, but oh well, progress is progress.

I thought a lot yesterday about how I wanted to approach Day #2 because Tuesdays are always challenging for me.

First off, they are among my busiest days. I get up early to get some work, laundry, dishes (and whatever else) done, take my son to preschool, meet with school directors for work, pick up my son, and grab some lunch and head to the after school program. Tuesdays are also among my most physically active day. Lucky for me, we are training for a 5K at work! (That may have sounded sarcastic...it was not.) I am loving the training; however, it is tough because Tuesdays are also one of the days where I go to RIPPED at the Y. This means, a lot of calories burned, and I want to make sure that I get enough during the day to keep me full, but also to give me the energy I'll need.

My Daily Allowance:

Green--3

Purple--2

Red--4

Yellow--2

Blue--1

Orange--1

Teaspoons--2

Today's plan:

Breakfast:

Protein Pancakes: 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oatmeal

Morning Snack:

10 Olives, 10 almonds, 1/2 banana

Lunch:

Salad: Brown Rice, Mixed Veggies (1-1/2 servings), 1 Egg (1/2 of my second red), Olive Oil

Afternoon Snack:

Chocolate Vegan Shakeology, Greek Yogurt, 

Fruit

Dinner:
Asparagus (15 spears)--1-1/2 servings  broiled in Olive Oil, Hard Boiled Egg

I was curious as to what all this food would add up to calorie-wise, and it is right around 1200. After taking out the calories I burn during RIPPED, between 400-600 and my 30-minute run, I will have a net calorie intake of 569 today...I may need to add in an extra protein shake after RIPPED, just to keep me from waking up in the middle of the night starving.
