Five days in to this and I'm learning there are better choices for food so I can eat more and still stay under 1500 caloric intake. This pleases me more than I could ever express. Did I mention I LOVE food? I've given up my morning pre-packaged breakfast sandwiches and replaced them with my hash browns, egg and cheese fried up with the 0 calorie cooking spray. It takes much longer to cook but is way more filling. On days when Kyle drags me to the gym kicking and screaming ;) I will munch on a Special K bar before just so I don't get light headed and pass out, then have my hash, egg and cheese when I get home.
Tonight I had planned on walking with my sister and her dogs but by the time I got to her place it had gotten really cold and had started spitting (or sprinkling as the weatherman likes to call it). By the time I had left 45 minutes later it was raining steady. While at my sister's I learned a very valuable bit of information. 1/4 of a 3 meat and 3 cheese calzone is 290 calories while a 1c bowl of mac and cheese is 240 calories. I have to say, I will take the calzone every time.
Alright, on with the number crunches (get it? it's a workout joke!)...

And so ends yet another lovely South Dakota day. (Yes, that is sarcasm you're sensing) Hope you had a great day... cos tomorrow is another one and coming soon!
Just an FYI, vegetables are nearly calorie free. You can pretty much eat as much of those as you would like. More would not be a bad thing to include :)
