03/10/08 - Breakfast

A Zone bar and a small glass of skim milk.

Breakfast: 300 calories, 7 grams fat, 38 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 22 grams protein

03/10/08 - Lunch

Yay for Nathania! Thanks to her list of fast food meals under 500 calories last month, I was reminded I could actually eat some food from McDonald’s. That worked out well as I was driving through part of town with no Wendy’s. So, I ordered myself up a grilled chipotle snack wrap and a fruit and yogurt parfait to go with the apple I’d tossed in my bag. Unfortunately, they accidentally gave me fries instead of the parfait. When I pointed out the error, they gave me the parfait and insisted I keep the fries. (I swear I heard Scottie giggling from around the corner…)

I managed to throw them away, but only after eating about 10 fries. Otherwise, this meal would be down about 50 calories and some fat as well.

Lunch: 610 calories, 17 grams fat, 96 grams carbs, 8.5 grams fiber, 18.5 grams protein

03/10/08 - Snack

I like this new “more calories” thing. I can eat my Kashi cookies again.

Snack: 130 calories, 5 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 2 grams protein

03/10/08 - Dinner

Imagine my surprise when I put together a pretty yummy salad, added things up and saw it only totaled 283 calories! That certainly wasn’t going to do, so I made myself a peanut butter and jelly to go with it. I’m loving this whole grain honey oatmeal bread. It’s just the right level of chewy and it’s got just enough sweet in it.

Dinner: 713 calories, 24 grams fat, 88 grams carbs, 16.5 grams fiber, 50 grams protein

03/10/08 - Dessert

Added it all up and I was still too low for the day. So, out came the last Kashi cookie and a glass of milk. Yum!

Dessert: 220 calories, 5 grams fat, 33 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 10 grams protein

Daily Total: 1673 calories, 51 grams fat, 239 grams carbs, 31 grams fiber, 80.5 grams protein

Exercise: Normally, Monday is a gym day. Unfortunately, Emmitt has snagged himself yet another ear infection so I spent the morning driving to the city to take him to the doctor and then hanging around the grocery store waiting for his prescription. That meant I had to hightail it outside when Greg came home so I could shovel some more snow before dark. Thankfully our neighbors are old and don’t get out to shovel their sidewalks, so I continued to work my way up the street. I shoveled the sidewalks in front of the two houses to our left, totaling another 50 yards or so of sidewalk. Took me 40 minutes. Calories burned: 350

Net Total: 1673 calories - 350 calories = 1323 calories
