Slept late so no breakfast. Raced out to church. Went for a .5 mile walk with the supportive husband at a local park. I used the Cardio Tracker in my phone. Love this droid app that tells me how many calories burned and how far I have walked. It is amazing how different you feel when you go for a walk in the nice fresh air. Luckily our county has plowed most of the pathways so that we can go for a walk in such picturesque surroundings.
Came home to a Boar's Head Turkey Sandwich from Stop and Shop. Not sure of the calorie count exactly. But since the bread was so yummy. Pretty similar to a Naan consistency I would count on at least 428 looking up Turkey, Naan, and the cheese individually.
Yes, since the Fit42 challenge began, I have learned to look up the nutritional information of what I am eating. And I have left soda behind me, so I had a green tea to drink. I love my new green tea it is actually a Green Tea with Pomegranate. Yum!
After much research and additional reading at Fit42, I have been learning that you need to eat healthy in small balanced doses throughout your day. This helps your metabolism work at optimal performance. So this afternoon, I had a small snack of 1 egg, fat free cheese, a tsp of salsa all wrapped up in a tortilla. I am also learning that eating off of smaller plates tricks your brain into believing that it actually had more than it did. So you might notice this is a dessert sized plate so that my body wasn't looking for more until dinner time. And of course another bottle of water (holds 3 cups of good old fashioned H20).
Dinner this evening was an interesting dish. Those of you who know me also know that I hate vegetables and have to trick myself to eat more of them. So this evenings dinner was easy tacos. A can of Hormel Chili with beans, 1/2 teas of the taco sauce from the package, a few ounces of veggies from a pre-chopped mix of green peppers, red peppers, and onions. To that I mixed fat-free shredded cheddar. This was my main filling. The taco shells I lined with veggies. Then some of the mixture. Then a little sprinkle of cheese. Who knew I could enjoy eating healthier! lol.
And so how did your day go? Did you stay on track?
