My day started with my daughter making a fruit smoothie and not liking it. So of course I doctored it up, added some protein powder to it and drank it most of the morning. This day was a leftover kind of day. I have some leftovers at work and home to eat. But I am not sure what I will choose. So I entered in my calories for the smoothie. I didn't eat a snack because I sipped on the smoothie until 10, I decided to eat the other stuffed bell pepper I had at work. When I entered the calories for lunch I only had only a little over 300 calories left. I tried to do without a snack but that smoothie never filled me up that morning. So I gave in and ate a slice of cheese. I had a very busy afternoon and only made it in time to do a little weight training. My less than 300 calories left dictated what I would choose for supper. I had cleaned the freezer out this past weekend and I found what looked like leftover gumbo. I ate a chicken thigh, I found some shrimp floating in it and got 4 of them, a little sausage, a little juice, 1/4 cup of rice and called it a day. I did good with my calories for the day. But that smoothie was not very filling. I finished with a total of 1288 calories for the day. If you like my meal ideas just check out my diary for a list of ingredients for that meal. And yes! I measured and weighed everything. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
It's how southern women diet!
