J is doing a little better. I took him to the Dr. and he said it's teething on top of a cold. The poor little guy is miserable and has a fever...and of course I'm super paranoid. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the gym yesterday, but I did keep up my calorie counting. Betsy, thanks for the suggestion of fitday.com, I'm totally going to try it.
Breakfast
8oz Diluted "Just Pomegranate" Juice - 19 Calories
2T Ground Flaxseed - 80 Calories
8oz glass of water with the juice of a half of lemon - 6.5 Calories
8oz Skim Milk - 90 Calories
1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein - 95 Calories
Total Breakfast: 290.5 Calories
Snack
String Cheese - 80 Calories
ACV Chew - 10 Calories
Total Snack: 90 Calories
Lunch
Baja Fresh Mango Chipotle Salad
(I had a few bites of the deep fried tortilla shell (I know shame on me) and didn't use any dressing. I looked on their website and they didn't list nutritional information for this, so I used the "Baja Ensalada" and added the calories for avocado and a few bites of tortilla shell)
Total Lunch - Approximately 500 Calories (I'll be sure to pick a different salad next time)
Dinner
(I don't know what it is, I just crave breakfast for dinner lately!)
2 Egg Whites - 50 Calories
Mixed Fruit - 93 Calories
Turkey Bacon - 71 Calories
1 Whole Wheat Pancake - 155 Calories
1T Sugar Free Syrup - 17 Calories
1/2 tsp Butter - 20 Calories
Total Dinner - 406 Calories
Total Calories for Day 2 - 1286.5
Okay - so my calories for yesterday are significantly lower than Monday. All I can say is that I didn't have time to snack yesterday! Between working and taking J to the doctor and (literally) driving all over tarnation, I just didn't have the time to sit and think about how hungry I was...which is a good thing, I guess. Monday was an office day so I was home (thinking about food) all day long. I can't decide what a good amount of calories is for me each day. Any suggestions? It looks like I'm staying between 1300 and 1800. I don't want to go too low because I don't want to crash and burn and go crazy with the chocolate. I want to take this slowly and healthily.

If your goal is to lose weight slowly and healthfully then the amount of calories that you should be eating can be found at this site http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ This tool tells you your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) which is the amount of calories that you shouldn't eat below for more than a day or so (or your body will think it's starving). It also tells you the amount of calories you'll need at your goal weight, the idea being that if you start eating like that smaller healthier person, eventually you'll become that smaller healthier person. I'm just full of fun helpful tips!
Are you coming to our ward's Biggest Loser group tonight at Debbie's? It's the first meeting and I'll be helping out. You should come!
Doesn't that pomegranate juice have a ton of sugar in it? It is kind of bitter. Gavin brought it home one day. Kind of an acquired taste.
See you tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep the good work up...
