My Lunch was THISSSS Big

My lunch plate was THISSSSS Big.

Today was the start of my new job.   So a bit of stress though I'm thrilled about it. I will be virtual in my old work place until I get my crash pad moved, then I will be working out of Chicagoland which will be great after commuting for 3 and a half years 4 hours each way every Monday morning and Friday night (do not ask what time I get up on Monday to be there on time).

Breakfast was an Alpsnack and a low-fat protein shake made with water.  390 calories

Lunch was Mexican with a female friend.  I used the Myfitnesspal online tool for the calories when I got home from work:   900 calories. ZOUNDS and I didn't order one of the BIG platters.  My mistake was the refried beans and I ate the fried chips instead of ordering plain corn tortillas to dunk in the salsa like I did last time.

Dinner was raw veggies and a vanilla berry protein shake.  240.

Post survived first-day glass of wine after work.  About 150.  Wine's made of grapes, so that counts as my second fruit serving - right?

Total - 1680.  200-300 more than I should have.  Not enough to gain weight, but a sign I need to get back on track tomorrow

Steps today - pardon me I'll be walking to Eire, Pennsylvania after dinner -)

    Yup. Refried beans are a Mexican plot, donchya know??? &*> Well, they are if you are counting cals. Otherwise they are fantabulous.

    Congrats on the new work situation and the being able to stay in one place. (Soon)

Thanks for visiting. Having been fortunate enough not to have to diet as a young woman - hitting middle age to find my Metabolism moved to Aruba and didn't even send a postcard was a rude awakening. Thanks for sharing the fun and the pain of getting back in shape. Note: If you are a stranger and include a link in your comment - it will not be posted, to ensure no SPAM or viruses are shared.
