AM workout: Elliptical- Calories Burnt 206

Breakfast:

3 hard boiled egg whites and a soda – Calories 200

Snack; tortilla chips and a soda-  Calories 206

PM Workout: None (I have an abundance of calories right now)

Dinner: I was really hungry for a huge meal Popcorn & soda – Calories 350.

I am under by 257. Which brings my weekly calorie surplus to 724.

As you can see I do have a huge problem with soda. I really need to be careful going forward. Tomorrow I am going to be good with it and not have any. I also crashed big time after eating 1/2 of my sandwich. Too many carbs in Ciabatta bread maybe? Monitoring my food this way is helping a ton. Thanks for going on this food journey with me. :-)

    I tweeted before- to replace soda, try fruit juice & seltzer. Soda and coffee- aka caffeine, are really not good for us, so if you must have carbonation, try the juice-seltzer combo.

    Also, for weight loss, try to incorporate some bran & yogurt. I found putting 3 tablespoons of bran (even tho its gross and tasteless), with a servings of berries in some low fat yogurt every morning has kept me going until pre-lunch snack.

    I, too, struggle with food, weight and exercise. Its our uphill battle- just know you’re not alone! :)

    Thanks for the comment. I do have yogurt with granola and some fresh blueberries because they are anti-inflammatory fruits. Is Bran better for you in terms of fiber or calories?
