1,980 calories – check.
40 minutes cardio – check.
Today went to plan and I’m feeling positive about the week. I hoped on the scale this morning and it was at it’s lowest reading yet, so fingers crossed for a monday milestone.
I took a packed-lunch into work today so that I knew how many calories it would contain; my only other option here is to hit Subway, as they publish their nutrition numbers, and I’m not a huge fan. Lunch was a ham, mustard and salad roll and 90-calories of pineapple. Something I’ve started this week is taking my green-tea teabags into work and having a packet of almonds at my desk for a mid-morning snack. In addition I had another snack (of fruit) at around 3pm.
Even with these extra snacks, I was still only at 1100 calories when I got home. My main-meal was 440 calories and I made up the rest with another glass of milk, an apple and a mix of cashew nuts and sultanas. Oh man, the cashew nuts and sultanas were tasty! My portion was 250 calories but fairly small, giving me a new favourite, calorie-dense snack (ugh, writing this is making me crave them!).
Cardio tonight was great. I got my sweat on and busted out a great session, the sort where you finish and immediately flop onto the machine, holding on to it whilst you recover. Yea!
Those are the days we live for eh!
