I started the day off with a very super unhealthy Honey Bun (Little Debbie Brand), and a home made white flour banana nut muffin. Ohhhhhhh yummy carby goodness. The Honey Bun was sweet and very soft, and chewy, and the muffin was dense, sweet, and delicious. I washed it down with a Diet Pepsi to round things out. I love processed unhealthy stuff! What a wonderful way to spike my blood sugar and raise my insulin levels. Luckily, I have no health issues at the moment-so why not enjoy til I ruin it? ;)
And just FYI-The soda can was empty when I snapped this cruddy pic on my mobile phone. :D

Lunch Time!
I hade a Lean Cuisine Deluxe Pizza with pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, and a smattering of cheese. I baked it in the over at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. It was crunchy, salty, and tasted like typical frozen pizza. But no complaints. I also had a humongous navel orange, and a Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich. Yummers! Salty and processed goodness with even more sugar! At least I had a peice of fruit this time....
Calories: 600 (eek!)
Thoughts:
I have 675 calories left to play with for the day in order to reach my goal of 1,650 calories. This amount keeps me full and helps me to lose 4-6 lbs a month WHEN I follow this calorie amount ALONG with working out at least 4 times to 6 times a week. I will have a 200 calorie snack, and a 475 calorie dinner. I will try to make a few more healthy choices for today-such as having veggies and whole grains. I also will take a multi vitamin and calcium supplement. I am sadly not really concerned about eating perfectly. To me, calories are really what matters the most. I want to burn calories and keep to my calorie goal. Some days are better than others, others are not. I will post my snack and dinner, and even my workout here later. See you then!
Snack Time: Freaking Delicious!
So yesterday I made a big batch of roasted veggies. They consisted of eggplant, zucchini, onion, and bell peppers roasted with a tiny amount of olive oil, and tons of garlic. So I had a cup of this, along with an egg that was "fried" in a non stick pan. It was sooooo good. Too bad the photos are crappy. Seriously, this was delicious! The eggplant was soo soft and perfect, and the rest of the veggies were yummy. The egg was nice with it as well. I put tons of hot sauce on it of course, because I love spiciness. I ate some veggies, and am super full. This will keep me tided over til dinner time, and give me fuel for my workout this evening.

Workout:
I did not take a pic of myself on the treadmill-it was too blurry, and I was moving waay to fast. ;)
However, I walked at 3.6-4.0 mph on alternating inclines (8.0-25.0) for 45 min, and burned 400 calories. Then I did 100 crunches, and 40 reps on the arm machines. I keep it simple. Maybe I will mix it up and try a workout class this week-or maybe not. We'll see.
Dinner:
I did not get the time to take the photo, so here is a pic of exactly what I had last night that I am posting the next day. I went over my 450 calorie goal (I had planned 475 calories for dinner, but used an extra 20 calories for my snack). I had a large chicken drumstick, 2 cups of my roasted veggies, and a potato with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray. This came to about 686 calories. I will try to eat less tommorrow (hopefully). In fact, I already have Wednesday pre-planned. Boring-but effective.
