A Few Things

I have a few things: Here is my food intake for yesterday Sunday June 13th:
1/2 cup Quaker Granola
1.2 cup skim milk
1 pear

1 String Cheese
2 Whole Wheat Tortillas
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Salsa--about 1/4 cup probably
Veggies (brocolli, carrots, grape tomatoes and snap peas)

Grilled Chicken Breast
Corn
Pork 'n Beans (not the greatest choice)

Dark Chocolate chips
Trader Joes Soy Creamy Mini Chocolate Sandwich (only 90 calories)

My total Calories for the day were around 1490

I need to be in the 1500's or so with the amount of exercise I try to do. So I think I did pretty good.


Also, just a couple tips I thought I'd share
TIP ONE:
When I was doing the Body For Life progam they have one day a week where you can "Cheat" and eat what you want. Don't watch calories or anything. Their idea is that if you totally restrict yourself of things then you are setting yourself up for failure. You have to eat those yummy things sometimes to satisfy your cravings. Don't go overboard on that day, do your best to stick to your healthy foods, but it's ok to go off the "Diet" on that day. That way when you are going through your week and you want something fatty or something it will be easier to wait knowing you have a free day coming up. You don't have to do that, it's just an idea that might help.

TIP #2
I think that writing down what you are PLANNING on eating the night before then you are more likely to stick to that menu and plan for the day. You can check things off as you go and also you don't have to think about what you are going to eat for that day. It's already done. And if it helps you can write down what times you are going to eat also so that you don't find yourself wandering around wanting to eat. If you have a schedule then it's easier to not snack.
