St. Patrick's day. It's my Irish heritage, so I ate well tonight. Which was possibly a poor decisio, because my weight is still 178, and my calorie intake was somewhere around 2500. Diet fail. But a happy St. Paddy's day.

Breakfast:
Apples
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt

Mid Morning Snack:
Balance Bar, Triple Chocolate

Lunch:
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken
Orange

Mid afternoon snack:
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain 15 Grain Hearty Double Protein with Olivio

Dinner:
Chicken quesadilla
Cheesy bacon potato skins


Dinner was awesome, but way tooo many calories! I did get some Wii Fit in today, so there's the helpful benefit of exercise, but really, all in all today was too many calories, and even though there was some exercise, there was not enough.

Woot. Back again. Alright, here's the low down for today. According to Spark People, I consumed 1525 calories, but I also worked off 50 calories during my WiiFit time. Leaving me at 1475 for the day.

Weight today 178 pounds - but now with the calorie tracking, I know it will continue to go down!

Breakfast:
Apples,
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt
Balance Bar Trail Mix Chocolate Chip

Lunch:
Carrots, raw, 1 cup
Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo,

Mid afternoon snack:
Banana

Dinner:
Salad: red leaf lettuce, spinach, tomato, onion, roasted chicken, almonds, 2 tbsp caesar dressing
2 pieces Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Double Protein bread, toasted w/olivio

After dinner snack:
Nabisco, 100 Calorie Packs, Cheese Nips Thin Crisps, 21 grams

Plus, I got on my Wii Fit and did some of my step routines and a little bit of my boxing today. And did the horizontal Irish jig, so BURNED some calories as well. I need to add some toning to my routine instead of just cardio too, and then I will be on my way to swim suit shape! And I really need to start the lunch time exercise, it's just been SOOOO busy though!

Back on the boat. I must say, I also find Spark People quite useful in tracking what I eat. Plus it gives me a calorie total for the end of the day, and lets me know whether I am on track to make my goals or not. And it reminds me to drink enough water, etc. However, it divvies meals into b-fast, lunch, dinner, and snack... and I am trying to eat constantly throughout the day in small meals. But I do love the calorie counter. Today, I only consumed 1437 calories! Weight loss, here we come!

Weight Today 178 lbs - SLIGHTLY BETTER! WOOT!

Breakfast
Banana
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt

Mid morning Snack
Balance Bar - Caramel Nut Blast

Lunch
Smart Ones Broccoli and Cheddar Roasted Potatoes
100 Calorie Packs, Cheese Nips Thin Crisps

Mid Afternoon Snack
Carrot Sticks

Dinner
Orange
Smart Ones Three Cheese Ziti Marinara

After Dinner Snack
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Bread - 2 slices with Olivio, toasted

All in all, not a bad day, it could have used more variety, a multi-vitamin and some exercise, but I had to work both jobs, so those things did not happen. Sadness. But I think with Spark People and the Wii Fit... I really should be able to get on track and be in swimsuit shape by swimsuit season!
