Breakfast - Started off the day with 2 cups of cheerios and about 7/8 a cup of 2% milk. (315 calories)
Today is Martin Luther King Day and that means that we have an in-service day. That being said, i'm the secretary of the state Jazz Education board, and one of our 3 annual meetings is this day so I headed down there for that instead. Due to the impending freeze-over, school had a delayed opening and so did the meeting. I woke up sick. left over from last night, I was not feeling well. Fever up to 101.5 I emailed the meeting and told them I was not coming. Was gonna call into school to let them know that i was not out on "school business" but instead out "sick." But then around 10:00, I felt pretty good. The meeting had been pushed back to 11am down in east Brunswick, so I took the drive and I'm glad I did. I thought i had beaten this sickness quickly and I was able to attend the meeting with success.
Lunch - so the meeting is at a diner. This particular one has sort of a meeting room in the back where we have our meetings. Since it was through lunch, it meant that I had to eat. I got myself a grilled chicken sandwich on a bagel, yes a real bagel. Really should have done wheat bread, but I really wanted the bagel, so i splurged. Asked for rice, but they gave me fries, which was annoying. I also had a cup of chicken rice soup. Asked for chicken noodle, but got chicken rice. Good thing, since I didn't get the regular rice I had ordered! Much to my surprise, I really didn't enjoy the fries and I barely ate any of them! below is a photo of the initial plate and then one of the fries I left behind! Also drank the entire pitcher of water myself. Calorie Count - not really sure. Let's say 350 for the bagel, 300 for the chicken, 225 for the fries I ate and 100 for the soup. total - 975.
Snack on the way home - Not sure what came over me but I just had to stop off for a snack on the way home. I had 2 Reese's ( the regular ones, not big cups) and a Red Bull. (200 + 110) Not one of my better moments, but not so bad, considering it was my first Reese's of the new year! At one point in the fall, i was eating 2 big cups every day on my way home from work with my Slurpee.
I also had an orange, half an orange actually. It was quite refreshing! (25)
Dinner - On the menu for tonight is edamame spaghetti and home made instant pot turkey meatballs. The Edamame spaghetti is ok. Not my favorite thing in the world but so much more healthy than regular spaghetti, so I'm happy to have it. Also cooks really fast! The meatballs - first time in the instant pot. They were good! I think i put too much milk and would probably put more breadcrumbs next time. they came out a little soft, but very tasty, that's for sure! This meal came out to 600 calories.
Total Calories - 2,225. This is much more than I have been eating on a daily basis BUT still in the weight loss category. Remember, 2650 maintain, 2150 lose, 1650 lose fast. I think it's time to recalculate since I am down 18 pounds since I did this initial check of how much I should take in.
