Well, I was thinking I did pretty good today, but when I actually stopped to calculate my calories, I am again over my intake goal. Granted, it's still over 1000 calories less than I was eating last week at this time...but still more than I want to be eating. I'm eating better things, I just still need to eat less of them. So...I guess I'll work on that tomorrow. I really am eating way better things though. For instance for a snack I had an apple cinnamon rice cake with peanut butter. Tasty and very filling. And for supper I made bean dip that is only 312 calories for 1 cup and I added chopped spinach to it(I've been adding chopped spinach to a lot of things; if you chop it small enough you can't really tell it's there) Then I made my own tortilla chips with whole wheat tortillas so that they were low in sodium. They were yummy too. For dessert/fruit I made a peach smoothie with tofu. I'm not a big tofu person but it really does add a lot to a smoothie in the way of smoothness and it's really low cal while really high in protein.
Anyway, those are some of my good discoveries. Let's see, today's high point...I avoided the sub sandwich I was offered at work and I got a workout and a walk in. Low was definitely that I still was about 400 calories over my goal. I was going to say it was when I gave into temptation and had that other half of a rice cake, but that was when I felt better about how I had did today and didn't realize that I really hadn't done that well...:) Oh well, still better than last week at this time. And my body feels happy. Like I'm giving it good fuel.
