Today's food for thought.

Today I read soemthing about how when chaning your life style you should take before and after pictures. I'm thinking this is a good idea but I think to keep track of your progress you should take pictures before, at 25%, 50% and 100% of goal. This gives you a visual of your goal. In addition I think I'll take some measurements this weekend because sometimes you see results more in inches then in lbs.

On to today's food

breakfast

coffee 45 cal

blueberries 100

lunch

smart one 350

chocolate covered almonds 200

snack

smoothie and veggies 250

dinner

beef strogenoff and potatoes 660

night time snack

banana 105

total 1770 out of 1800 :D

Day 2 diet

Ok so today was good and bad...I tried really hard but I think I went over my calories again. I was doing really good until I realized we were going to my grandma's house for her birthday tonight. If I'd known this I probably would of eaten differently today.

anyway here is what I ate

breakfast

Coffee with cream 45 cal

Lunch

chicken with pasta 400

lemonade 15

snacks (we went to costco and well...I had to try some stuff)

I tried a small cup of smoothie, some strawberries and chips

I estimated 200 cal for this

Dinner at grandmas (again I'm estimating)

Italian Beef sandwich 500 cal

veggies and dip 200

salad 200

chips 200

This totals 1760 which is actually within my calories but I'm not sure if my estimates are good.
