My Thoughts:
Today, nutritionally this was an "ok" kind of day. I'm doing what I usually do and maintaining my current weight... I certainly didn't do anything towards weight loss per say except make a plan to fit exercise in to my daily routine. I'd like to cut back on my calorie intake, but for now, I'm going to focus on quality of my calories and making exercise a DAILY habit.
In the past I've gotten so focus on "looking better" for being the reason I would work out... this time I'm trying to remember all the other gazillion reasons I want to work out (like long term health and well being!) I'll keep you posted.
Warmly,

I am noticing you dont really have much protein (you bulked it up in the end with the eggs for dinner) I tend to just have oat groats for breakfast so simular to yours but i make sure lunch is heavy on my protein and fat for the day (and then having a lighter dinner) just my perspective and opinion :P
ReplyDeleteAmanda, you definitely are right! My nutritional balance has been a bit haphazard as far as how I get it in during the day. I'm sure putting more in in the middle of the day would be good.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: I just realized I forgot to add the egg nog latte that I split in half with hubby - that adds an additional 350 calories for the day :P
