A Good Sunday
Got enough of all my nutrients toda
Date: 7/29/2007 11:36:02 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 1938 times I’m so happy! I did not wake up exhausted and headachy
today. I am also down a few pounds, finally matching what my
nutritionist discovered last week. I think it’s her scale that is off,
but as long as it’s predicting my future, I’m quite happy.
I
started my morning with a glass of water and fresh-squeezed lime juice,
then made my breakfast: eggbeaters omelet filled with a little salsa I
got from Whole Foods’ salad bar. On the side I had ¼ of an avocado and
a “sprig” (or whatever you call it) of cute little champagne grapes.
For my beverage I made a drink from the juice of one mango, one orange,
and about ½ cup of coconut water from a young Thai coconut I bought
yesterday. I even remembered to take my antioxidant and calcium pills.
My goal for breakfast was mainly to get protein in from the start of
the day.
Lunch was a salad into which I added a couple of oz. of
salmon and some more of the avocado. Again I was making sure I was
getting protein. Dinner was a mixture I created of warm brown rice
that I’d made earlier in the week, 2 oz. of tofu, 3 oz of salmon, the
rest of my avocado, and corn salsa. My goal was to ensure that I got
some grains; I didn’t really care whether the foods “went together” or not. I drank ginger tea with my last meal.
At the end of the day I saw that I’d barely made the minimum protein allotment of 60 grams which Sparkpeople
suggests, so I had a cup of the cottage cheese that I still have in the
fridge, along with some cherries to make the snack less boring. I had
water before going to bed. In fact, I did pretty well with water
throughout the day just by being more conscious of the need to stay
hydrated.
All in all, a good day!
