Yay so yesterday I stuck to my goal of 200-300 calories and I feel great today!
I had:
-most of a corn tortilla ~ 80 calories
-1 leaf of lettuce ~ 5 calories
-1 tbsp of hummus ~ 25 calories
-1/2 veggie patty ~ 85 calories
-4 sips of Odwalla Mango Tango ~ 50 calories
for a grand total of ~245 calories!
I had this all for dinner by spreading the hummus on the tortilla, breaking the veggie patty into the tortilla, and then topping it with lettuce to make a little taco. It was delicious and flavorful so it kept me full for the rest of the night.
I was also able to sneak my scale into the bathroom to weigh myself really quick since my roommates all left the apartment before me. I am now down to 115.5 pounds :)
I also discovered a little trick to keep from eating everything in sight. I've been portioning out all of my dry foods, but I've had to eye out how much I should eat of regular food that I keep in the refrigerator. Usually I'm really good about it, but this has resulted in me throwing out a bunch of food at the end of the week that I didn't eat. Yesterday it finally dawned on me that I should just freeze everything. So I measured out how much I'll eat for the rest of the week (through Friday) and froze the rest. This way I can't eat more than I planned since all of my food is frozen, but I also won't waste any expensive food. So far I've frozen tortillas, tofu, beefless strips, veggie patties, strawberries, and soy yogurt. I may add some Mango Tango and bananas by the end of the week. My main problem now is that there isn't really any space left in the freezer :)
