A New Week

Yesterday was a tough day.  I went to a polo match with a group of friends so we ate a lot.  Fortunately I planned ahead and curbed my eating Saturday and also ate light last night.  The net result was that I stayed even for the weekend.

Just so you know that I splurge now and then I will list what I ate at Polo. 1 Colombian style hot dog, 1 bratwurst, a hand full of Doritos, 5 crackers each topped with pepperoni and pepperjack cheese, 2 big helpings of layerd salad, 1 brownie, 3 beers.

I still have 5 lbs to lose and I am hoping to get them off by the end of this week.  I will have to work hard but I should be able to do it.

Todays menu is going to look like this

Lunch

• Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Natures Own Has a whole wheat bread that is only 35 Calories per slice.  I also use I Can't Believe Its Not Butter light spread which is 45 calories per tablespoon.  Add a 60 calorie Kraft single and the sandwich is 175 Calories. 
• Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 50 calories

If you are a big eater like me it may sound like that is enough but trust me it will get you by until dinner time when you will be able to indulge a little.

Dinner

• Spagetti - 200 Calories
• Meat - 1/4 lb lean ground beef 200 calories
• Sauce - 75 Calories I use Prego Traditional and add a little garlic and red wine
• Garlic toast - 80 calories

Add it up for a combined total of 780 calories today.  I try to keep my calories below 1000 when I am in weight loss mode.  By planning meals that are less than that you give yourself room to snack if you have to and still stay below 1000.

Dont forget to maximize your weight loss today by doing some exercise.  Even a walk around the neighborhood will help.
