Day 1 Restarting my commitment for good!Jun 25 2007 22:33
1500 calories in.
2000 calories burned....500 calorie deficit! I will take that!
Today was a good day! I ate great!
Dinner was a new recipe....
4 chicken breasts, browned on each side. Remove chicken from pan.
Add to pan 1 can diced tomatos with onion and garlic,
1 can quartered artichoke hearts,
1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatos.
Heat to boiling, return chicken to the pan, reduce heat , cover and cook about 10 minutes or until the chicken is done cooking.
It was amazing, and only 200 calories per serving!
Tomorrow will be another great day! I am working out at the rec center with a friend in the morning....that is always a motivator! Having someone to hold you accountable to get your butt to the gym!
Oh, my other proud moment was that I popped a bag of 100 calorie snack popcorn and took it to my sons baseball game where I usually indulge in hot dogs and buttery popcorn....and I had my smart pop and a bottle of water and that was it!!! And my sons team won beating the only undefeated team in the league! (atleast they were undefeated heehee!!!)
mmmmm that sounds good :) i love artichoke hearts.. but i have never had sun dried tomatos.. do they come in a bag?? lol... sounds good though, i think i may have to try that.. :) congrats on the awesome deficit , and the 100 cal snack popcorn :) and whooohoooo for your sons team :) yay :) |
Congrats on a great day! My day went pretty good too yesterday and I started this morning with a walk bright and early! |
