Today I tried something new. I used the Orowheat Sandwich Thins to make my breakfast sandwich this morning. All the usual players -- eggs, green bell pepper, mushroom, Laughing Cow cheese, but with the sandwich thin in place of English Muffin. Really good switch. I also had a Kashi bar on my way into work because I was starving when I woke up. These dark chocolate coconut bars are really tasty. I'm a big fan and was kind of surprised that Chuck really liked them too!
Lunch
Today was leftover day. I had a stuffed bell pepper from last night with some corn. It was pretty delicious -- even as a day two meal.
Snack
Liz made popcorn and gave me some. It was delicious and by no means light. Luckily, I had a small portion and don't have any feelings of remorse and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor! This picture is deceptive though because the banana actually was eaten by Chuck after he arrived at my office to pick me up from work. ;) He was a very hungry boy from walking miles and miles.
Exercise
Randy and I continued to keep up with our gym routine. Tonight we did turbo kickboxing with instructor Cliff. I have to say I was a little bummed I had to drive to Foothill Ranch to go to work out, but the instructor made up for that by being pretty much awesome! It was a hardcore work out and I was doing pretty well until right at the end. I think my endurance is getting better. He had such great energy. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, company and experience all together.
Dinner
I had a picture of dinner, but my phone decided to pass away during my sleep taking with it all of my pictures. My mom made dinner last night after I got home. It was a pretty genius healthy dinner, we had roasted chicken (made by the market), mixed vegetables, brown rice (microwaveable!) and a spinach, strawberry, walnut, poppyseed dressing salad. I was delighted to see that 1 tbsp of poppyseed dressing was only 100 cal/4 g of fat and a completely perfect portion of dressing on top of that. I know it seems like a lot of calories for dressing, but to get the real flavor the price seemed worth it. Plus, I worked my butt off in class.
Dessert
Chuck made sugar cookies tonight. I was doing so well. I had actually forgotten that he made them, then he handed me one... and I without thinking about it I popped it in my mouth. Then I thought, "hmmm... that was tasty... I think I will have another..." So I did. Luckily that was the last sugar cookie for the night, then I had a few of my mini ice cream sandwiches. I should have just said no to the sugar cookies. I probably ate what I did in class tonight. Next time, I will just say no! Like Ronald Reagan taught me.
