My Weight Loss - Day 3

Today I did 45 minutes of Zumba, medium intensity. I burned 546 calories! I always feel so accomplished when I am done with a good workout. I think I will rotate Zumba with the BeachBody's  Slim in 6 workout video. My husband and I used to use this video quite a bit, but we haven't done it in a while.

It's going to take me a while to get a good food schedule down. With my workout today, My Fitness Pal says that I am well under my calorie limit. But I had a dinner that was 620 calories... isn't that a lot? My breakfast, just coffee, a hard boiled egg and a clementine was 122. My lunch was 340 calories... a turkey sandwich and string cheese and then for dinner we had a turkey burger, boiled green beans and about a cup of a fresh mozzarella and tomato with Italian dressing salad. So, although I am under my calorie allowance... I still feel like I did something wrong. Do you have a per meal calorie allowance that you try to follow?

Today I packed up breakfasts for the week. I modeled them after Starbuck's protein bistro box... A hard boiled egg, a small slice of white cheddar cheese, about 1/4 cup of red grapes, a clementine and 3 pieces of celery that I will have with a little peanut butter. Not quite what Starbucks has... possibly better than? The celery and peanut butter actually replaces the muesli bread and peanut butter that they include.

Now that we are back to the busy work week and next weekend my husband and I are going away for our anniversary... it's going to be a bit more challenging. I'm glad that I'm in a very determined place, mentally, which I think will really to help me get through it.

Until tomorrow...
