Ok, I had to get that out. Moving on...
Breakfast: 2 egg whites (hard boiled) with salt and pepper
Went for another 2 mile walk. My fingers were swollen afterward, which alarmed me at first, but a little info from Dr. Internet tells me that it could be because of the salt on my eggs, because of the heat, or because I was holding my iPod in the same hand the whole time while not swinging my arms enough... basically my form today was terrible.
Lunch will be a smoothie (home made today, not smoothie king) with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, yogurt and 2% milk. I'm looking into making smoothies with tofu for some protein, but today I'll probably just add some protein powder or maybe some of my bro-in-law's whey powder - depending on which is in the cabinet.
Last night's planned "whole grain pasta" spaghetti with ground bison in natural sauce wasn't bad at all... after I scrapped the nasty, coagulated glob of pasta goo and started over with another batch of good ol' semolina pasta... I'm pretty sure it was from a package that my grandmother sent us. She gets government cheese and other cheapo goodies and sends boxes of it to us. So basically, the pasta wasn't the best we could have done calorie wise, but I ran out of options when the whole grain pasta lost its mind. Whatever, things happen.
*PM*
My lunch smoothie was pretty friggin good. I ended up adding protein powder that I got when I worked at Curves. It made the smoothie a bit chalky, but it was good nonetheless.
Dinner: 4 chicken tacos on corn tortillas with lettuce, cheese, taco sauce and sour cream. I could have stopped after the 3rd one, but it was SO good! I'm working on portion control. It's just taking time.
I think I need to buy a scale. I need to be able to keep up with my weight. At the same time, I'm hesitant because I know me. I will weigh every day - possibly several times a day - and get frustrated when I don't see instant results. We'll see. I'd like to be able to discipline myself to only weigh weekly, but I don't know if I can do that...
