So today was the beginning of the changes I am making. It started off with Breakfast. My favorite meal that can really be enjoyed any time of the day. I wanted hash browns and sausage. So what should I do? Just put it in the pan and hope that I'm not going overboard with the calories?! That's when I remembered Emily told me she downloaded an app called MyFitnessPal. I pulled it up on my phone, put in what I wanted to eat, and it gave me the proper portions. I love this little app. So while breakfast was cooking I put in what I was planning on having for lunch. Fried chicken and rice. I found all the components to my recipe and put them all together which gave me again the proper portions. I love it! That left me with almost 1000 calories for snacks and dinner. When I got to work I found out what they were serving for dinner (because my company has a cool cafe and serves decent food for free). Pork Chops with wild rice and sauteed green beans. Uh... Hold the sauteed goodness please I am trying to stay away from butter and oils... and I had fried chicken for lunch. So I had the pork and a few bites or rice but I wasn't starving. Its nice to know that if I am watching my portions I don't have to cut everything that is good in the world out of my diet. Like the saying says... Everything is good... In moderation.
Way to go, glad the app helped! Hope things are still going good! Miss ya!!
