Weekends are definitely a time to recoup and I felt as if I did get plenty of rest!  No walking on the treadmill at an incline today… we went grocery shopping and ran a couple other errands.

Weigh In:  157.8
This time last week:  160

Breakfast:  Coffee with International Delight Caramel Macchiato Creamer.

Lunch/Dinner:  Chicken Chipotle Flatbread with homemade chips.  I believe it was a chili lime mayo on the wrap but I also asked for extra on the side.  We went to Wicked Sister for lunch- https://www.wickedsistersault.com/ – they have amazing burgers and the service is always phenomenal.  I had a Mayan Mocha Stout (if you like habaneros and other spices, try this one) and then a Pumpkin type stout that definitely help to tame the hotness of the Mayan stout.

Dinner:  My better half had made homemade chicken noodle soup with celery, onion and carrots – however, I was still full from lunch!  I did have a small 3/4 cup of his soup though.

Snacks:  1 small pumpkin cheesecake square.

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

**I am not a nutritionist or personal trainer by any means and my results can very much vary from anyone else’s.  Please keep that in mind and feel free to share this blog with friends!
