This morning I weighed in at 348.10 lbs. It’s nice to see the weight going down again (2.4 lbs. to be exact). Yesterday was the first day in which I implemented my 1800 calorie, three meals at 500 cals each, plan, and it is working so far. One day is not really enough time to make sure it’s a good idea long term, but it’s certainly going in the right direction.
For breakfast this morning I thought I would have a 500-calorie meal of French Toast! I used six slices of the Sara Lee 45-calorie per slice bread, along with a cup of egg white, and some Mrs. Butterworth sugar free syrup. You can see me frying up some of the soaked slices with a couple of squirts of cooking spray in the photo to the right.
For lunch we decided to get a takeout from Chick-Fil-A. I went rather healthy with a Cobb Salad (see photo to the left). I love the avocado lime dressing, but I had it on the side and dipped my fork in it before taking a bite of the salad. That’s a good “diet” tip for you, dressing on the side!
Dessert time! I had some “Franken Berry” cereal (see photo to the right). I measured it out and about a cup of the stuff equates to 100 calories!
For my evening meal I had some “air fried” hash browns with corn (see photo to the left). It’s quick and easy and since the hash browns come in a container and you just need to add water, it’s easy to figure out how many calories they are. The corn adds a nice sweet flavor to the mix.
While I watched the news this evening I had a nice light 30-minute workout on my rowing machine. I also have a Total Gym, and some dumbbells, but the rowing machine is fine for now.
Just before bedtime I had a large mug of coffee with some oat milk. Today was another successful 1800 calorie day, so the scale should reward me again tomorrow morning, right? Time will tell!
