Not focusing on numbers...

I know I'm bloated and icky so i'm skipping my weigh-in- ill do it monthly b/c i don't wanna get discouraged! I know i've been losing fat and gaining muscle- my thighs are hard yo! :-D

I did a cool 45 minutes this morning on the elliptical and burned 350 calories! I wanted to get back on the right track!

I really need to go low-sodium...which i totally failed by eating chinese food- my parents ordered it and the two are my FAVORITE dishes ever, couldn't resist! tried to keep portion sizes small (but the chow fun is so calorie dense! i actually couldn't find exact calorie amounts...i guestimated haha)

breakfast: 2 eggs, broccoli, corn, jalapeno pepper sauce (!) with coffee and 2 sips of aloe drink (300 calories)
lunch: 1 cup rice with 5 oz yellowtail fish (350 calories)
snack: 2 squares Milka, half a cup of coffee, Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut bar (190 calories)
dinner: rice, chicken and broccoli (2/3 cup), shrimp chow fun (1/2 cup)- (550ish?)
dessert: honey citron tea (50 calories)

total: 1440
net: 1090

HOLY YUM!!!!!!!! omg this kashi bar is sooooo damn good. It has a thick gooey layer of chocolate on top of the granola bar and then bits of coconut sprinkled on top. IT IS SOOOO GOOD!!! I wish I had stocked up at Target when they were on sale- alas, i only bought one box b/c i didn't know they would be THIS GOOD. haha sorry freakin out it was like eating a candy bar- i devoured it in like 10 seconds

this is said citron tea. cept i use a different brand. but they all taste the same haha just put a spoonful into hot water and drink! it's so yummy and good for you- it has chunks of the peel that u just eat it is beleived to have antibiotic properties (good for warding of illnesses!) and has like a gazillion percent vitamin c (great for flu season!). it's yummy- not at all overpoweringly sour!
