Today is my first day trying out my new fitbit and I'm very excited to see how active I really am.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup low fat ricotta cheese pureed with 1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese and 1 tsp Sucanat; top with 1/2 cup fresh cherries and 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
How gross does this sound? Seriously I can't imagine eating any of these foods together! I opt to skip this entire gross meal, and instead invite my friend Sophia over for breakfast. Sophia has been a great influence on me - she's been eating healthy for years and always has great, all-natural snacks with her at work. I made egg white omelettes with some mozzarella and cheddar cheese, served with sauteed onions, peppers, and mushrooms. This was much yummier than chunky cottage cheese covered with cherries and sesame seeds!
Snack 1: 1 cup low fat milk, 1 hardboiled egg, 8 whole-wheat crackers
I don't really consider milk a snack, but drinking a whole cup is always enjoyable, so I'm not going to complain. I only ended up eating 4 whole wheat crackers - 2 of the rykrisp kind and 2 of the yummier shortbread kind. I was glad to see that we made the hardboiled eggs correctly. I guess Michael Vick is a good teacher.
Lunch: 4 ounces cooked tilipia topped with 1 boiled potato, 1 cup cooked green beans, 3/4 cup cooked artichoke hearts, 1 tbls chopped onion, 2 tsp red wine vinegar and 1 tsp evoo
I changed up this lunch a little just based on what was easy and convenient. I ended up eating the tilapia, 1/2 a potato, and 6 ounces of broccoli that I had leftover. I probably made this meal healthier (and definitely made this meal easier) than the editors suggested.
Snack 2: 1 low-fat string cheese, 8 carrot sticks
I only had the cheese stick. Good as usual.
Dinner: Roasted sliced eggplant (6 ounces), 1 tbsp broken walnuts, 1 small diced tomato and 1 crushed clove of garlic with 1 cup cooked whole wheat spaghetti and 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
Delicious dinner! It's supposed to come with 3 cups of sauteed spinach, but we didn't have any left and I don't think the meal needed any for more substance. It was great and very easy to make. I will probably repeat the walnut/tomato sauce often.
The best part of my day was checking my active status on my fitbit! My fitbit told me that today I ate 1440 calories and burned 2441 calories. I walked 11,650 steps, which equates to 5.43 miles. I attribute most of my steps to an African dance class that I took at the gym. It feels great getting such high numbers on my first day of using the fitbit! I hope I can keep it up!
