After seeing your post this morning Tess, I decided to go onto a mapping site and see how far my walk was yesterday, I was super surprised to see it was 1.88 miles! .. WOO!

Breakfast: Choc Protein Shake with 1TB of Peanut Butter blended in.    Coffee with Splenda and NonDairy Creamer
Snack: 2 oz lean Roast Beef with 1 Lowfat String Cheese
Lunch: Zone Perfect: Choc Peanut Butter protein bar.  (I was offered a choc-chip/PB cookies at work and RESISTEDDDDD!!! WOO!!)

Totals so far: (thanks to MyFitnessPal.com) are 564 calories, 59 protein.

Only about 8 oz of water down so far - need to seriously get on that. 

You are doing great!  Try drinking 8 oz. after every thirty minutes of eating.  You will get the fluids in.

Is there a way to edit posts?  Having troubles with that .. 

This is what I had earlier:

Dinner: 6 Sweet Red-Pepper Wings.  I've been craving them and they were super tasty but YIKES on the calories when I checked later.

Totals so far: (thanks to MyFitnessPal.com) are 1092 calories, 95 protein.

Water still lacking -- at about 16 oz  so far -- it's too bad that coffee can't count!..lol.  I need to bring some flavor to add to my water at work.

Coffee can count if it's decaf . I use SF syrups and LF 1/2 &1/2 which adds just a few calories. So 2 12 oz cups early in the morning and bam I have 24 ounces fluids in. I also add 1/2 scoop protein powder to each and I have protein coffee and breakfast!

 

3 Protein: egg beaters/ham, chicken sausage, chicken breast 350

6 Veggies: mushrooms, onion, green pepper, cucumber, tomato, sugar snap peas 100

3 Dairy: 4 slice reduced fat Swiss cheese, plain Greek yogurt 280

3 Fruit: pear, 2 clementines, apple 240 

3 Starch: 3 multi grain tortilla 400

3 Fat: peanut chewy protein bar 200

1570 calories
