Day 16

On day 16, still going strong! Not much to say today since things are still going along as planned with the exception of exercise. I ate really well today, utilizing all the ingredients I bought yesterday. I had coffee, and I think since I haven't had strong Starbucks coffee in a while, it hit my stomach like a brick...not cool. I felt pretty gross after that, nauseous actually. Serves me right. I'm trying to be healthy and stay away from caffeine and I drink one of the strongest cups of coffee I've ever had. Other than that, today was a success. I also tried to not sit as much today...tried to let work keep me on my feet! I'm actually going to work out tomorrow at 10am at a Retro Fitness that my friend belongs to...I'm really excited. I swear to you all i'm not a lazy ass, I just need to get into the right grove. I am actually pumped to run on a treadmill with music in my ears and sweating my behind off. I'm also going out to eat, but we're getting sushi so I'm not worried. I'm about to look up some healthy sushi suggestions so I'm prepared for tomorrow. Planning ahead is definitely the smartest thing I've been doing. It has helped me tremendously.

Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:

-Kashi whole grain dark chocolate cherry bar

Snack:

-Sugar free, gluten free pudding - DELICIOUS

-Starbucks Tall Komodo blend coffee w/ small amount of fat free milk & 2 sweet and lows

Lunch:

-Baked chicken breast with salsa & brown rice

Snack:

-Celery w/ 2 tbsp reduced sugar peanut butter

Dinner:

-1 slice lowfat ham, 1 slice lowfat turkey, fat free mayo on whole wheat bun

Water:

-4 bottles

*I also had 1 small bite of my friend's stuffed french toast. I don't think a bit contributes much but since I've been airing out my dirty laundry I figured I'd confess to it anyway.

I need to research some recipes using the ingredients I now have. The salsa chicken thing was "eh". I marinated the chicken in the salsa then baked it. But it really just tasted like plain chicken with salsa on top. I wanted to add cheese but I noticed that I've been adding a LOT of dairy to my meals and snacks so I don't want to make that a trend. Also the fat free mayo is disgusting even though it's Kraft. Gonna toss that for sure. Other than that my choices have been good!

I'm looking forward to the workout tomorrow, will surely report my experience in tomorrow night's post!
