Today's Photo A Day challenge is "food." I could just take one picture of something I eat today, but since I'm trying to do a better job tracking what I eat, I'm going for full disclosure here. I plan to document my entire day's worth of food. Look for updates as the day progresses.
I went for an easy bike ride this morning - 8.77 miles in 43:33, 12.1 mph. Burned 356 calories, earning 3 activity points. My daily points for the day = 26, so now I've got 29 points if I want them.
7:00 a.m. Breakfast
3 ingredients - light vanilla soy milk (2 cups/4 p+), Recoverite (1 scoop/2 p+), and frozen strawberries (1 cup/1 p+). 7 points plus total
This may seem a little high in points to some people, but this is a power breakfast! I will not be hungry again until lunch time.
12:00 Lunch
Fajita, leftover from Tuesday (5 p+), tortilla chips (4p+), salsa (0 p+), fruit salad (0p+), and tea (0p+)
And a little chocolate. 2 Hershey's minis (2 p+)
Total points for lunch = 11. Points left after lunch = 11. We now enter the danger zone. The time when I am most tempted to snack, from 2:00 to 5:00.
3:55 Snack
Baby carrots and grape tomatoes (0 p+). I've stayed busy all afternoon and stayed away from the kitchen, but I needed a little something to tide me over.
5:30 Dinner
Fresh & Easy Apple Chicken Salad with dried cranberries, mandarin oranges and cucumbers (6p+). My own dressing - light raspberry vinaigrette, 3 Tbsp. (2 p+). This salad is huge!
The dressing that came with the salad was a whopping 9 points! Definitely not worth it. Especially when I can swap light dressing and have a No Pudge Brownie for dessert (3 p+)
Total for the day - 29 p+. The kitchen is now closed ;)
