Day 8 Total: 1533 Calories

Well, four weeks ago I got sick. I started at 160 lbs. With a 5'2" frame that's a might overweight. On a diet of chicken noodle soup and Ginger Ale I lost ten pounds. So I was 150 lbs when I started this whole "watching what I eat" ordeal. It has been a week and now I weigh 148 lbs. I'm going to keep a tally now at the bottom of every week's post.

Today was a little more than 1200 calories, but that was because I drank a lot of milk instead of water (which is pretty healthy, especially as I really need the calcium) and I had a soda (oops).

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.

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