The week drags on...

So, today I was told that I need to be blogging every day, whereas I was planning on writing every two days. I get it though, if I’m not blogging every day then it’s not in the forefront of my mind and I might stray from the plan. So, here’s my two day re-cap which I’ll try not to do again.

Yesterday was an okay day. Nothing too impressive and in actuality it was a partial fail since I didn’t make it to the gym.

For breakfast, I cooked ¼ cup of egg whites with some low fat Mexican style cheese and wrapped it in a whole wheat tortilla with a Morningstar breakfast patty (it’s a low fat meatless breakfast “sausage” which is decent).

For lunch I went to a sushi restaurant with some co-workers. I normally order a baked scallop roll which is a California roll with little scallops literally swimming in sauce on top. I can’t do that anymore, so I had to find something better. I chose a lunch special that let me choose two items from a list. I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and chicken teriyaki with the sauce on the side. The meal actually started with miso soup and about 2 tablespoons of a seaweed salad. Also with my two items, I got a side salad. So it was a really big lunch. I topped it off with a few bites of my friend’s green tea ice cream.

Around 4, I started to get a bit hungry so I snacked on 7 small rice crackers.

Dinner wasn’t until 8, so by that time I was famished. I had a 4 ounce steak with a whole plate of mixed greens. For my salad, I used Marie Callender’s brand low fat balsamic vinaigrette and about 1/3 cup of croutons. After dinner, I split a Haagen-Daz Coffee mini cup, so I had about 2 ounces which is literally a few bites.

Water: about 60 oz, maybe more; I lost count.

Today

Breakfast: Whole wheat tortilla wrap with egg whites, spinach, onions, and mushrooms
Lunch: A single pita, 3 falafel pieces, lettuce, tomato, and non-fat yogurt with cucumber and dill. (Approximately 250 calories in total)
Snack: More rice crackers
Dinner: mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette, 4 large grilled shrimp and a small potato. For dessert, I had half an ice cream mini cup.

Water: About 80 oz (plus a large glass of orange juice)

Gym: 45 min of cardio (I could have gone for longer since I was watching movies on my ipod, but sadly my family wanted to leave)

I need more snacks to get me through the day, so a trip to the supermarket is in order. :)
