Day 6 Total: 2427 Calories

Oh man. That total is disheartening. I went from too little to too much. But, my blood pressure went down from 140/100 to 127/72. Most everything was healthy today except the soda (which I shouldn't have had because today is not Saturday) and the coffee (which I also shouldn't have had because today is not Sunday).

Breakfast:

12 oz 2% Milk
1 cup Coffee
4 packets Sugar
4 tbsp Half & Half

Again I should have had something more for breakfast.

331 Calories

Lunch:

2 slices Sourdough Bread
1/4 cup Spinach
1 tsp Red Onion
1 tsp Black Olives
2 slices Salami
5 slices Pepperoni
4 slices Black Forest Ham
1/4 Avocado
2 slices Provolone Cheese

This all adds together to make a wonderful panini. Instead of eating all of this sandwich, I should have had half and saved the other half for later.

910 Calories.

Afternoon Snack:

1/2 Sara Lee Plain Bagel
3 Tbsp Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
2 oz Smoked Salmon

375 Calories

Dinner:

1 Foster Farms Chicken Breast

1/6 Banana
1/6 Peach
1/8 Pink Lady Apple
1 Tbsp Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt
1/2 Tsp Golden Raisins
16 oz 2% Milk

I should have halved this too. So marinate the chicken in the Italian dressing overnight. Then grill or broil it. Cut it up and serve it on your salad with a little more dressing to top it.

Water Intake:

1 cup Tap Water

Day 2 Total: 1796 Calories (Uh-Oh)

Well, I wasn't home today, so I had the disadvantage of eating whatever was available. That can be killer to a calorie count as it certainly was today. Also, I seriously need to cut out the soda. Seriously. Starting Sunday let's see if I can pull off a soda free month (with the exception of one cup/can of soda on Saturdays).

Breakfast:
Well I started off good. I wasn't even hungry this morning, but I did eat breakfast like a good girl. And then the soda bug bit me. Please don't blame me. My car has no air. I wanted something cool to drink

1/4 Sara Lee Plain Bagel

1 tbsp Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 oz Smoked Salmon

2 cups Sprite

Cut your bagel, top with cream cheese, and then top with a slice of Nova Smoked Salmon (a.k.a. Lox).

365 Calories

Lunch:
Lunch wasn't all that bad... until we get to the chocolate malted milk

2 Slices Oroweat Whole Wheat Bread

6 Thin Slices Chicken

2 Thin Slices Turkey

1 Leaf Romaine Lettuce

1 tbsp Best Foods Mayonnaise

1 tsp Mustard

1/8 Gala Apple

1/3 Banana

1/8 Peach

1 cup Fat Free Milk

3 tbsp Carnation Chocolate Malt

Put your meat and mayo and lettuce and mustard in between your two pieces of bread and nom. Cut up the apple, peach, and banana into small chunks and mix together in a bowl. If you must splurge on the malted milk, put less malt in. It's too sweet otherwise.

693 Calories (ouch >-<, my hips are going to feel this one)

Afternoon Splurge:
Yeah, I've been six months without boba. I should've picked a different day (and skipped the soda).

1 Large Green Tea Milk Tea with Boba

318 Calories

Dinner:
Again it's really the soda that kills me here.
 

2 Wheat Thins Hint of Salt

1 Slice Port Wine Cheese Ball

1 tsp Rondele Garlic and Herb Cheese

2 Small Lemon Sandwich Cookies

1/2 Slice Milton Whole Grain Bread

1 Thin Slices Turkey

1 & 1/2 cups Schweppes Ginger Ale

  Put the cheese on the Wheat Thins. Put the turkey in the bread. Eat up.

Day 1 Total: 1257 Calories

Ah day 1. And it begins. A really helpful website is Calorie King. You can type in whatever food you've eaten and it will ask you the serving size and then it will calculate the amount of calories. This is how almost all of the calories here have been calculated, unless I looked directly at the packaging of the food I was eating. Also I have labeled all of my posts by what meals they contain as well as the specific foods they contain. So if you're searching for an egg recipe you can find all of my posts that contains the label "Egg" etc.

Breakfast:
Breakfast was really simple. Something I could very easily get tired of very soon.

3/4 cup Honey Nut Cheerios
1 cup Milk

Just pour ingredients into a bowl and eat up.
240 Calories

Morning Snack:
Now I had a snack that was a definite splurge, but it sure did taste good.

1 cup Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Gardens Green Tea
3 Ralph's Lemon and Poppy Seed mini-Scones

Boil your water and steep your tea. Put the scones on a nice dish and enjoy, taking a bite of scone and a sip of tea.

240 Calories

Lunch:
Well, I did okay for lunch, food-wise. But I spoiled it with a can of cola. But it wasn't just any cola. It was Pepsi Throwback. They only have it around for football season, and I adore things without high fructose corn syrup. I'm trying to cut back on soda, so I think I'm going to let it be my Saturday splurge. Call me out if you see me drinking soda on a day other than Saturday... starting next week =D

2 Eggs scrambled
1 tbsp 2% Milk
4 leaves of Spinach shredded
2 tbsp chopped Onion
1 can Pepsi Throwback

Crack eggs into a cup add milk and mix until well blended. Then stir in the shredded spinach. Cook the onions on high heat on the stove until translucent.Turn the heat down to low and pour in the egg and spinach mix. You can either scramble the eggs or make an omelet as I did.

322 Calories

Afternoon Snack:
I started getting super hungry. So, instead of waiting and getting even more hungry and flirting with the overeating at dinner option, I made a small snack. I actually over did it on the cream cheese so I'll be more careful next time.

1/4 Sara Lee Plain Bagel
2 tbsp Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
2 oz Nova Smoked Salmon

Cut your bagel, top with cream cheese (I recommend 1 tbsp instead of 2), and then top with a slice of Nova Smoked Salmon (a.k.a. Lox).

205 Calories

Dinner:
Very simple dinner. I'm trying to work on a more vegetarian/raw fruit and veggie diet for a while to detoxify my body. Oh, but I cheated again. After my 20 minute walk I splurged on another can of Pepsi Throwback.

2 cups Spring Mix Salad
2 tbsp Wishbone Raspberry Hazelnut Vinaigrette
1 can Pepsi Throwback

Mix salad and dressing on a plate and voila! dinner.

 250 Calories

Water Intake:
We all need water. I sip mine throughout the day, so I'll total it up at the end so you can see how much I consumed.

2 cups Tap Water

Yes, I drink water straight from the tap. Obviously there is a small screw on filter on the tap, but I'm not squirmish about drinking straight up tap water. With one proviso, only in the States or the UK.
