Day 11 - Sheet. Pan. Chili. Lime. Shrimp. Fajita. Bowl.

Starting Weight - 229.0 (down 14.3 from New Year's Day)

Breakfast - Cheerios with 2% milk - (300 calories)  Ya know what I realized - Outside of maybe Jan 2-3, I have not had the same breakfast 2 days in a row.  That REALLY helps.  The overshopping we did last week has really helped the variety and keep me from getting bored. And I have not even touched a lot of the stuff we bought yet (non-breakfast stuff, anyway.)

Snacks - Fiber One Cinnamon Swirl!  yum!!!!!  (90 Calories)  I forgot we had these!!!!

Lunch - Chili leftover from yesterday.  I think i called this 500 calories, and was kinda assuming a little higher than it really would be, but why not!)   Just as good the 2nd time around.  Although we had to use tomato paste this time and it was a little creamier than I like it.

Snacks - I have to think about this . . . . . I know I had a Rice Krispie Treat (90 calories) and a Ferrero Rochet (80 calories) and I had about a serving of Goldfish (140 Calories)  I will say that I effectively turned down a cookie today during lunch duty, the cookies that I eating at least 2 a day of during that same time.  Instead, I just drank more water. . . . . . .

Dinner - Kristyn made another new recipe.  Sheet Pan Chili Lime Shrimp Fajita Bowl!   OMG this was really good!  I would have paid for this meal at a restaurant for sure.  You should all try making this.

It was so tasty.  I grabbed the "Jumbo" shrimp frozen bag at Shop Rite.  It was 2 pounds for 12.99.  I had to peel and devein myself, no big deal though, much better price that way.  We used half of the shrimp for this meal, so really didnt cost much more than chicken would have. I served it over 1/2 cup of Brown Rice - we used the instant pot as a rice cooker for that.  Best brown rice I've ever made.  She used Quinoa instead.  I like rice better and the calories are actually not much more in the brown rice.  I'm calling this 575 calories.



Snacks - After dinner, I threw down a pack of the Ritz Cheese crackers and some grapes - (250 calories total)  Froze them there grapes because I like them better that way.  :-)

2,025 calories total + 1 gallon of water.
