TIP OF THE DAY: Make each meal a square meal. When you don't eat well-balanced meals during the day or forgo them entirely you will end up so famished by the time you do eat that you're far more likely to binge. A reliable way to keep your appetite from getting out of control is to incorporate good sources of protein into your meals.
Today Scott and I went to the batting cages. I was impressed with myself for out of about 50 pitches I only missed about 4 of them! WOO HOO!! We did not go to practice today because we got the call at 4:30 telling us that practice is going to be at 5:30. I was already starting dinner at this time.
I was supposed to have tomorrow off but they called me to see if I could come in. And since I am always looking for extra hours at work so I took it!
Since we did not do to much, on to what I ate;
BREAKFAST:
1/2 cup yogurt-1 point
Strawberries-0 points
Blueberries-0 points
LUNCH:
1 grilled bar-b-q chicken-3 points
1 taco shell-2 points
lettuce-0 points
cheese-2 points
SNACK:
wheat thins-2 points
chocolate milk-3 points (I have to finish what I have here before it goes bad, otherwise I feel like I am wasting money. then I will try different ways to make it healthier)
DINNER:
whole wheat pasta-3 points
Cheese-4 points
Onion chips-2 points
DESSERT:
1 crystal light Popsicle-0 points
Sunflower seeds-1 point
Total points: 23 out of 30 points for the day.
I did not do that good with my water today, I drank about 4 cups.
I also did not have my pedometer on today, but I will when I'm at work.
HAVE A GOOD MONDAY!

ReplyDeleteHere is what a nutritionist from the Mayo Clinic has to say about High fructose corn syrup:
ReplyDelete"High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative. High-fructose corn syrup is made by changing the sugar (glucose) in cornstarch to fructose — another form of sugar. The end product is a combination of fructose and glucose. Because it extends the shelf life of processed foods and is cheaper than sugar, high-fructose corn syrup has become a popular ingredient in many sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and other processed foods.
While research continues, moderation remains important. Many beverages and other processed foods made with high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners are high in calories and low in nutritional value. Regularly including these products in your diet has the potential to promote obesity — which, in turn, promotes conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease.
If you're concerned about the amount of high-fructose corn syrup or other sweeteners in your diet, consider these tips:
■Limit processed foods.
■Avoid foods that contain added sugar.
■Choose fresh fruit rather than fruit juice or fruit-flavored drinks. Even 100 percent fruit juice has a high concentration of sugar.
■Choose fruit canned in its own juices instead of heavy syrup.
■Drink less soda.
■Don't allow sweetened beverages to replace milk, especially for children."
So look at the ingredients, stay away from processed food and enjoy REAL Food. Myra
