Not a bad day over all. I felt like I ate to much so I was trying to be careful and ended up under eating. Maybe I will carry a little book with me and add up the calories up as I go so I don't keep going over and under. I'm shooting for 2000 cal. a day.

Day 2 Food & Fitness

So, I slept in and missed breakfast so I didn't eat my first meal till 8:30. Not great, but better than yesterday. I was also disappointment because I went to the store and bought a multivitamin, came right home and took one......and just now noticed all these hours later that one of the ingredients is caffeine. Really? Is that necessary?  I live clean, no smoking, no drugs, no coffee and nothing but herbal tea. I am really mad! I guess for most people it's not a big issue but I don't feel like I shouldn't have to read the ingredients of my multivitamin to make sure it doesn't contain caffeine. (I get that I'm making a big deal about this, and it probably shouldn't be......in fact, if it was only me to worry about I would probably just take it for a month and see how it went, but I'm still nursing and my sweet beautiful daughter doesn't need a shot of caffeine with her lunch.)

Breakfast @ 8:30 ~ 1/4 cup scrambled egg, 1 hash-brown, 2 pieces turkey bacon (556 cal. approx)
Lunch @12 ~ 1/2 lb turkey burger with spinach and feta  (153 cal approx.)
Snack @ 2:30 ~ wheat thins and a protein bar 140 (410 cal. approx.)
Dinner @ 6 ~ Shredded BBQ chicken, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese. (700 cal. approx)
Snack @ 8 ~ pumpkin seeds and 2 servings popcorn  (348 cal. approx)
Other ~ 3 breath mints and 10 chocolate nibs ( 15 cal.)

Total calories for the day: 2082 (over by 82 calories for the day. Not bad!!)

I didn't exercise today. :( I feel sad about that. I am dealing with a lot of pain in my body. I have a minor case of scoliosis which is a partial contributor. I am out of shape....perhaps another contributor. My biggest issue at the moment is the sciatic pain. I have a stiff lower back and any pressure on my tail bone makes it so I walk hunched over in pain like a little old lady when I get up. I have sharp shooting pains going through my left hip in front, down the back of both legs starting at my butt and stopping at my knees, through the side, front and back of my left calf and both ankles. (although my left ankle is worse.)

I had these pains, slightly worse because before I got pregnant because they included my upper body. My doctor thought it might be fibromyalgia but the in the testing process of all the things they have to eliminate before they can decide that is what it is, they discovered I was vitamin D deficient. I wonder if that is the issue now too.....maybe? It's why I bought the multivitamin. Stupid vitamin.

Day 1 Food & Fitness

Here is what my day looked like.

I slept in and missed breakfast so I didn't eat my first meal till 9. Plus the day was a little off because we were bringing my sister-in-law to the airport and she wanted to walk around town and visit the shops before she left.

Snack @ 9 ~ 2/3 cup Trader Joe's Chocolate Almond cereal with 1/2 cup 2% milk (310 cal.)
Lunch @12 ~ 1/2 Coconut Frozen yogurt topped with peanuts and raspberries. (150 cal approx.)
Snack @ 2:30 ~ Swedish meatball meal from Ikea. (900 cal. approx.)
Dinner @ 6 ~ Italian bread with shredded BBQ chicken, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese. (900 cal. approx)

Total calories for the day: 2260 (over by 260 calories for the day)

Exercise:

• 40 Jumping Jacks
• 20 sit-ups
• 10 push-ups
• 20 calf raises
• 50 Russian Twists
• 20 Squats
• 40 High Knees
• 20 Reverse Crunches
• 2- 30 second Planks
• 2- 15 second Planks on each side

I didn't go for my mile walk because we walked around town for 1 hour and than walked around Ikea for one hour. I figured that ended up being over a mile in the end.
