BREAKFAST:
1 Carbmaster yogurt
handful of Ann's house trail mix. ( nuts & cranberries)
TOTAL: 230

DINNER:
3oz Round Steak
4 Homemade Fries ( 6 fries equal one potato but I rounded up for calorie purposes.)
1.5 cup Salad w/ added reduced calorie shredded cheddar cheese
1 TBS ranch ( we will be buying some healthier dressing in the near future...had to use up the rest of what we had!)

* I guess I didn't feel like eating today. And now I'm going to have a reduced fat cheese stick...because I can...
* I also started a meal plan with my dietitian today so I am now on the diabetic exchange plan. No.. I don't have diabetes, but this plan is very healthy and something she likes people to do until I get my weight under control. I will also be getting a full lab workup on my blood, cholesterol and thyroid to rule out any underlying problems. I will be focusing more on this plan:
2300 calories
* ( as I am still breastfeeding over 2000 is ok)

3 fat free milk
3 non-starchy veggies
3 fruits
11 starches
12 lean meats
5 fats.
I have the exchange book which tells me how much each serving is.
So from now on I will not be putting down the measurements of each item but more of how many servings it is I have for each meal.
I'm hoping this makes sense to my readers. If it doesn't here is a link to better understand what I will be doing starting tomorrow.

* This looks a little more complicated than just counting calories. I will be buying a scale very soon b/c much of the serving size is in ounces. plus its kinda confusing.

DISCLAIMER:
Today I saw my grandfather who had been in the hospital since Sunday. With breathing tubes and monitors galore I just couldn't handle myself there. It made it even crazier when he would wake up and saw me and get excited and squeeze my hand.

* I will say Todd and I both felt disgusting soon after consuming this deliciousness. It was good going in but once it settled we both felt like dying. It was like our bodies were scolding us. No more of that stuff.

*now where's that wagon?
