Well after a kind of rough day yesterday I was grateful to start fresh today. I'm not going to beat myself up over having an off day yesterday - just going to forge ahead :).

Food Today:

1. fruit and carbmaster yogurt (made into smoothie - my hubby added some protein powder, but I'm going to avoid doing that because it adds more protein than I need and extra calories).
2. spinach flat out wrap with spinach and chicken (check out the flat out wraps here - the light ones are great - only 90 calories, full of fiber and even 9 grams protein! I have bought them @ Lins - they are in the bakery/deli area - at the top of the shelf between those 2 sections - above some rolls.)
3. cottage cheese & orange
4. either protein shake or 1/2 protein bar
5. wheat pasta with sauce and light hamburger, spinach salad
6. other 1/2 of protein bar

My focus today is to write down not only what I plan to eat - but what I actually eat. I'm also writing down the times I eat - hoping to help me get the meals in that I need to. I've actually put together a little food tracking sheet that is almost the same to the one in the back of the Body For Life book (if any of you have seen that). If any of you are interested in a copy of it let me know - I'll email it to you. It's just a planning sheet that has spots to track your plans, and then what you actually eat. And spots to mark off that you got enough servings of proteins, carbs, veggies, water. I'm a visual person and it helps me to glance at it and remember what I need to finish up with. Anyway - leave me a note in the comments if you want me to email it to you. :)

Upper body circut was tough this morning. Leslie said, "we're going to do 8 rounds" and I about died. We only made it through 5 (and still went way over on time) - but it was still tough.

Grateful today for libraries - isn't it awesome that we have such a wealth of knowledge available to us? On my list of careers I'd love to have "someday" would be to be a children's library worker. I love childrens books and reading with my children!
