Did okay today!

What did I eat today...

Chinese dumpling - 250
Pizza slice - 500
Fruit snacks - 200
Salad - 250

Exercise - 3.5 miles of elliptical/walking - 284 kcal

Right now, I am only netting 916 kcal!  I will probably eat some grapes and some blueberries, so we can add 200 to that and I'd still be in the clear.  Finally, a day where I'm eating like I'm supposed to >.<

Perhaps I should just make this a food journal

So I've lost about 5 lb and I've mostly kept it off, but this has been a bad week.

I've decided to try to make some simple changes to my lifestyle.  Here's what I'm planning on doing:
1. Eat from smaller plates
2. Wake up and drink 12-16 oz of water or green tea every morning as soon as I get up
3. Drink more water
4. Drink 3 cups of green tea a day
5. Eat one veggie meal a day (broccoli, salad, edamame) in addition to 3 smaller meals + snacks
6. Control portion sizes
7. Stay under 1500 kcal 5 days per week.
8. Exercise at least 3 times a week

Let's see if I can stick with it!

Food for tomorrow:
Breakfast: banana, green tea -100 kcal
Morning snack: Greek yogurt - 100 kcal
Lunch: Chinese bun from mom - 250 kcal
Afternoon snack: edamame -100 kcal
Dinner: chicken, broccoli, potatoes - 600 kcal
Evening snack: some sort of fruit - 100 kcal

Total: about 1250 kcal
