Breakfast: This breakfast is not getting old. I enjoy it every single day. (Except the days where I get a little lazy) In case it's your first time reading, it's 2 scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of Banquet Turkey Sausage and half a potato turned into home made fries using olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper.
Snack: Couldn't help myself but grab a couple little spoonfuls of low carb Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream. I did well with this because I didn't end up eating half the container like I often do in these situations. I truly just had a couple quick spoonfuls and moved on.
Lunch: For lunch, I had leftovers from the night before. Kristyn made this Chimichurri Beef with Jasmine Rice while I was at marching band. I think the beef came from Costco. It was really good! If I had to do it again, I'd make it with broccoli. And I would have eaten maybe 2/3 of what's here. I heated it up before I put it on the plate, so I didn't realize how much was gonna be there. But by then, I thought it would be bad to reheat it a 3rd time tomorrow, so it was my household duty to not waste food, so I ate the whole thing. :-)
We hit 2 hoppers full of balls (about 40 balls per hopper) up against the fence to get the hang of it. He was really proud that he got one stuck in the fence.
Then we moved on to the court and he did 7 more rounds of balls! All in all, he hit probably around 360 balls today! He did so great for the first day. And he really loved it. We had a good system of picking up the balls and he just kept saying "One more round!" So that was a ton of fun.
OK - Back to the food now!
Snack: Just a handful of peanut butter Ritz Bitz sandwich minis. They are about 10 calories per and I had about 15 of them. Just a little something to pick on. I worked up an appetite with the tennis. Got an extra 3,500 steps in just hitting joey the balls and going to pick them up!
Dinner: This was an interesting dinner. I had some chicken that needed to be cooked and wanted to try something new, BUT I wanted to make sure that if it came out bad, we'd still have something to eat. So part 1: Marinated some chicken in a bag for about 4 hours with Guy Fieri's Sriracha BBQ sauce and pan cooked them on the stove. That's in the plastic container. Part 2: Sweet Potato Fries. These didn't come out as great as the regular potato fries. I think I need to peel the skin off because the skin was kinda tough. The potato part was good, but the skin didn't go well in the air fryer. Part 3 - the real winner. Air Fryer chicken with the seasoning I usually use on the morning potatoes. First I coated the chicken with olive oil. Then a little corn starch and then the combination from the potatoes. This is the plate on the top of the picture below. This was AWESOME! A little crispy on the outside, but not breaded. And it was JUICY on the inside and really flavorful. This worked out better than I expected it to. REALLY liked it and will definitely make chicken this way again.
And that's it for the night. I sort of overdid it on the dinner by eating a ton of chicken. I mean, it was not necessarily unhealthy but I ate a TON of it, and too much of almost anything can be problematic.
WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE: Now, I just looked back at my phone to see what I documented as my weight for the morning of 8/4/23. Looks like I was up 0.9 from the day before. It makes me thing that it is very possible that this was the night that I overdid the snacks at night. I don't remember what I did, but there was def a night that I ended up having 2-3 snacks and was not shy about them. This must have been it. Soooo, up 0.9 for the day but still down 11.3 in total.
