This morning I had a gut feeling to just get up and get my walk in, at a 4% incline… but I chose to stay in bed to sleep just a little bit longer.  One of these days I will be disciplined enough to get past that choice of just staying in bed a bit longer.

Weigh In:  159.3
This time last week:  157.8

Today’s workout is walking 3mph at a 4% incline.  Will most likely do this for an hour since I barely took any steps earlier today.

Breakfast:  Dave’s Killer Bread Everything Epic Bagel with 1 hard egg, 1 thin slice of provolone cheese, diced tomatoes and creamy mayo/horseradish.  I also had 2 clementine oranges.

Lunch:  Crustless taco pie with a small avocado and fresh salsa on top.

Dinner:  Haystack!  This is ground beef/pork, carrots, potatoes, onions, tomato soup, cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups – very filling!  This picture is from last night, but I put a little bit more in the bowl tonight.  Recipe here.

Snacks:  No snacks today!

A few things I’m still keeping an eye out on:

• Amount of sugar in a serving – if it’s more than 4g, I am being cautious
• Amount of protein in a serving – I’m aiming for at least 20g of protein per serving each meal
• Amount of fiber in a serving – I’m doing my best to aim for 20g of fiber each day, but that sure can be difficult!
• If I have a sweet tooth craving, I turn on the keurig and add creamer to my cup of coffee
