This is a my maintenance peek of the future!

Well it isn't an AAA but this is what my analysis looks like at 1626 calories!

Breakfast: I started my day with a protein shake since i was going out for the day (250 cals.) for just under 2 cups once blended

1 full hard boiled extra large egg, which i rarely eat, usually only the white part! (90 cals.)

That was breakfast..........and am content!

Next.......My lunch.........water...........iced tea..........diet pepsi (first one in months).....it was hot!  Since i was on the golfing range this was enough! Still full from breakfast!

Now Dinner i started with a store bought (25 cals.) per Tbsp balamic dressing on a medium sized salad, (sodium is the only thing i hate with my calorie wise option...(hate making my own so time consuming i would be spending all day making dressings and they don't have a long shelf life in the fridge? with mixed spring lettuce greens with fresh cherry tomatoes (love cherry tomatoes)

I also had a 1 cup bowl of my new version of  potato salad  (slightly altered) to my taste, added tomatoes...yummy which is a nice change! (182 cals for 236g)

And hour later and still ravenous ...lol ..from my 10m bike ride and 3 hours of golfing at the range and of course walking back and forth several times (1000 yds for pee breaks and 3 baskets of golf balls.........

.....I had a small 100g leftover homemade extra lean cheeseburger from my habachi last night total calories in that with bun and 1/2 slice processed ()cheese (300 calories), this is what i always make when i do eat burgers maybe once a week! Kyle loves my homemade burgers!

For Snacks  i had my dreamwhip (6 Tbsps= 50 cals.) to go with the strawberry cheescake (130 cals.) pudding, and 1 strawberry jello (5 cals.)

Now for my little cheat 30 smarties (140 cals.) and 3 - 20g of cadbury minis at (20 cals ea) total (60 cals.)

Now that i haven't been deficiting this... would be pretty much a typical day in My home...for a summer hot day not wanting to heat up the kitchen by cooking in the oven.......i do like easy fast healthy quick meals, some that i can freeze but it isn't always easy with a picky son...so it would come down to cooking 2 separate meals all the time....not blxxxx likely!  So i do watch the fat, protein, sodium, sugars, carbs, cholesterol and fiber...When i see one thing high then the next day i try to counter that particular item like sodium high today try for lower tomorrow same principal all around...

As i always say "EVERYTHING IN MODERATION"..........and if i don't enjoy my eating part of life by some of the little treats daily what's the point of living...that's my belief and it's in my journal...so i can say it too!  Without judgement! hehehe. I mean i enjoy eating.....that's the bottom line, but i do try to eat healthy...hence the vegetable soup i had about a week ago for 7 days, the high fiber stews i make which might be my next big batch, i like batch cooking and freezing so it frees up my time to do other enjoyable things, i am a single mom and i really don't want to spend my whole life in the kitchen, i want to get out and enjoy living again..with or without a man!!

Not hearing anything since his brief note i say without seems more likely!

So here is my analysis.......remember maintenance only not calorie deficiting i am being honest i can't always get an AAA but i do try most days!  Tomorrow more vegetables and fresh fruits bought strawberries but today was out and tired when i got home from the hot sun!

C+..................C+

Fat - 30.8% (56 grams)
Protein - 26.4% (107 grams)
Carbohydrates - 42.8% (174 grams)

Other - 0.0%

Daily Sodium Intake - 2,477 mg
Daily Sugar Intake - 87 grams
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 614 mg
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 25 grams
Daily Fiber Intake - 13 grams

Tomorrow i will promisemyself to get my fiber up, which usually is, and get my chol, sodium, fat, down!!  But if i do follow my usual plan of moderation it always balances out throughout the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!..It is going to rain again..............darn it all...2 nice days and rain....i hate rain....so i need to do a good indoor workout tomorrow!
