BACK TO BASICS
Hello all! Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day holiday if you are from the U.S. To everyone else, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. This post is a couple of days behind, sorry. Sometimes one just gets busy.
After a day of “cookout food” and a second day of leftover “cookout food”, I was more than ready to get back to something more healthy. I did manage to get some exercise and walking in, but I still felt weighed down by those darn cheeseburgers and trimmings–oh, and ice cream.
I am still a firm believer that if you eat healthy at least five to six days a week and get in your usual exercise, you can splurge a little for a day or two and still not doom any weight or fitness goals. This has worked for me for almost 2 years, though I’m just in maintain mode right now.
So today it’s back to four or five meals a day at about 300 calories or less. My conscience and I feel so much healthier and lighter already. 🙂
My lunch, pictured above, was quite filling and tasty. It’s around 150 calories, so I added a small handful of almonds afterward to come in at about 225 calories.
1 slice of whole wheat bread
1 oz. sliced turkey
1 thin slice of tomato, cut in two
Salad
Radicchio, baby lettuce, baby greens,endive, and baby carrots.
I made my own dressing by mixing yellow mustard, chopped onion, a tiny bit of low-fat mayonnaise, a few drops of water or milk, and black pepper. I only add dressing for flavor, not to drown the wonderful veggies. About 1.5 tablespoons.
