Today, I had caffeine in the form of a cup of coffee at work. It made me jittery and on-edge all day. Tomorrow, I'll do better and avoid the stimulant.
Breakfast
Green smoothie (frozen turnip greens and spinach, frozen mixed fruit, frozen banana, 1 TBSP flaxseed)
1 cup of coffee with 2 TBSP of creamer and 1 packet of sugar
Vitamins
Lunch
Leftovers from Cold Cucumber and Pear salad
Leftover smoothie from breakfast
Dinner
Asian stir-fry with pineapple-cashew sauce
Steamed cabbage, steamed bag of frozen stir-fry veggies, can of stir-fry veggies well-rinsed
This made enough for four, Luis and I ate it for dinner and will eat it for lunch tomorrow.
Pineapple-cashew sauce made in Vitamix
1/4 cup of pineapple juice from can
1/8 cup of rice vinegar
2 TBSP soy sauce
1/4 cup cashews
1/8 cup sesame seeds
1/8 cup peanuts
1 TBSP mango chutney sauce
1 clove of garlic
fresh ginger
1 serving of this dinner was less than 300 calories plus very filling and appetizing! You can't beat that!
Weigh-in today: 148 lbs.
Exercise: 30 wall-pushups, 20 pushups on incline (possible short run later today if time permits)

Snap-shot #1
I am not consistent enough with blogging yet to post my eating habits every day. Instead, I plan to give snap-shots of what I eat, keep track of my weight, and note anything of interest for the day. I'll also be including what I do for exercise.
Meals for the Day
Breakfast:
Green smoothie (a mix of frozen spinach, frozen blueberries, a peach, frozen mango, 1 TBSP of flaxseed)
Vitamins
Lunch
Veggie Salad with "Caesar" dressing
Romaine Lettuce, Kidney Beans, and a mix of steamed Yellow Squash, Broccoli, Mushrooms, Eggplant, and Leek
"Caesar" dressing made in Vitamix
1/4 c. cashews
1/4 c. soymilk
lemon
pepper
coarse mustard
Dinner
Cold Cucumber and Pear Salad
No dressing needed!
Cucumber, radish, and tomatoes sliced and mixed with 2 pears quartered and 1/2 oz. walnuts
(using leftovers for tomorrow's lunch)
No weigh-in today.
Exercise: 60 minutes on treadmill
30 minutes of running at speed of 6.0
10 minutes of running at speed of 6.5
20 minutes of walking at speed 4.0 at various inclines 1% to 5%
Listened to CD on health while exercising. I learned that caffeine stimulates appetite and that combined with sugar, it can become one of the most addicting substances. I also learned that all fish contain small amounts of mercury and over time, if we ingest too much fish, we can poison ourselves. I also learned that a healthy diet can help relieve allergies, asthma, and headaches (just to name a few).
