terra firma

My basic daily diet (at least 5 days a week) is this:

Morning - 16 oz double, non-fat vanilla latte, english muffin toasted with pb and drizzle of honey (or 1egg+2egg whites scrambled and fruit)
Mid morning snack - fruit
Lunch - big salad with some sort of protein (chicken, egg, tuna) assorted veggies, 3 or so cups of greens and a tablespoon or two of dressing
afternoon snack - yogurt
Dinner - chicken breast orzo, with tomatoes and spinach, garlic, a little butter, salt, pepper and steamed broccoli.

Weekends are usually less structured but no less healthy. I do cook, I love to cook... I'm pretty good at it. I need more protein thru the day, I know... consistancy is key, I know... I don't take "free days" anymore, but I do have treats when I feel like it (perhaps once a week) a desert here or a beer there (or both like last night which was the first date night Mike and I have had in ages)...

Of course I drink water all day... I have no idea what my maintenance calories are right now because it seems that if I eat anything above 1500 calories per day I maintain but even if I eat 2200-2500 calories per day I don't gain... at least not in the short term.

So this is where I stand. I am more than willing to go alcohol or sugar free for a measured duration of time... its just a matter of comming up with the plan and making the commitment again.

I forgot to set my alarm last night and thus missed my morning session with Alissa... I'm pretty pissed at myself right now. I'd better go over there and apologize.

Ugh!
