I am glad you are enjoying working out. I have gotten to where my day isn't right if I miss a session.
Breakfast protein shake
snack banana
Lunch turkey and cheese lettuce wraps
snack greek yogurt
dinner baked fish, rutabaga, and asparagus
Exercise: ran a 5K this morning. Both husband and I came in second in our age group, and I set a personal record. It was a small race. I don't think I would have placed at a larger race, but there were a lot of competitors in my age group. At this point in my life I don't ever think I will be truly competitive, but I am pretty pleased with my accomplishment.
B 80 cal. Greek yogurt 1slice lite whole wheat cinnamon toast made with splenda
L 2oz. Chicken 10 special k cracker chips
D more chicken (cluck) half cup vegs squash zucchini peppers mix and my treat for today 1/2 oz. Cheddar cheese
I love cheese and used to eat gobs of it. Now a half ounce satisfies and is a real treat even though I factor it in with my prescribed diet
