Pain Free Thursday!

I’m feeling soooo much better today! It’s amazing how great life can be when you aren’t in pain all the time J It makes for an awesome day!

As I said yesterday, I went to dinner with a great friend at Chipotle. It  was gorgeous outside, so we decided to eat out on their patio…we ended up sitting there for over 3 hours and catching up on our lives, it was nice. For dinner I ended up getting a salad with rice, chicken, black beans, salsa and cheese. I forgot to take a picture of it thought L It was delicious! So for the day yesterday, I ended up eating around 1350 calories…which is where I need to be on a day when I don’t work out, but I’ll review that later. Here are some pictures from dinner:

This morning I came into work around 9am because I have a late meeting that I’m staying until 7pm to attend. This is what I hit on the way to work today, good thing it only lasted for about 20 minutes, but it still added some time to my drive:

Meals for the Day:

Breakfast: Special K with almonds and fat free milk

Lunch: Salad with 6 ounces of grilled chicken and topped with crasins, sliced almonds, apple and homemade Italian dressing. Here is a picture after I already ate most of it, so picture it with lots more lettuce J

Snack: Vanilla greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter mixed in it. Delicious!

Since I’m here late tonight, I’m not sure what I’m going to have for dinner…probably subway.

Ok, so my health expert friend helped me figure out how many calories I need to eat a day in order to lose weight on days when I workout and days when I don’t workout. This is the breakdown:

Days I do workout: eat 1600-1700 calories a day depending on how hard I work and what I do.

Days I don’t workout: eat 1300-1400 calories a day

I’m going to try this out and see if the weight starts to come off…I know it will probably be slower than I want, but I should see some results in the next month.

Stay tuned! J
