Day 2

I've been suffering from some "getting to sleep" issues. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it is really starting to get to me. I can feel tired at around 8:30-9:00 and think, "I'm going to bed." Then I'm tossing and turning for hours, and before I know it, it's midnight. So I'm not waking up as my best self. Once I get a workout routine going, I'm hoping I will sleep better.

I'm keeping today simple on the consumption.

Breakfast

Power Bar* - reduced sugar - peanut butter and chocolate. (Ingles had these 10 for $10, so I grabbed a few to try.) I compared almost the entire shelf full of various health bars, and these had the fewest fat and calories, with only 1 g of sugar (most others have 17 g!). 270 calories

*I got these only for "every now and then" meals. There is no way that I could do these all the time.

Snack

Pear - 80 calories

Lunch

Salad - Romaine, tomatoes, feta cheese, and Olive Garden dressing :) 100 calories

Smart Ones meal - 190 calories

Dinner

Flat Out wrap (sundried tomato) pizzas. We made 3 different kinds so we could each have our own! You just place the tortilla wrap on the baking sheet, spray or brush with olive oil, and bake for about 5-7 minutes to get it a little crisp. Take it out and make your pizza of choice!

For myself, I made a tomato-feta-mozzarella pizza. This is one of my favorite kinds of pizza - I really don't prefer meat on mine. I sliced up on-the-vine tomatoes into chunks and put them in a bowl, drizzled with a little olive garden dressing, sprinkled with garlic, pepper, and oregano. Spread this mixture onto the tortilla, topped with mozzarella, feta, and parmesan cheeses (and I didn't go overboard on the cheese because it had so much flavor from the seasonings).

For William, it was turkey pepperoni and onion. He was thrilled!

For Liam, cheese :)

These all varied in calories, but mine was probably the least because it didn't have the pepperoni, but to be safe, I'm going to give it 350 calories. (And, it was so filling that I only ate 3/4 of it.)

So...for the day (without dessert)...I'm at 990. Not bad!

Dessert

"Banana Split" - 117 calories

TOTAL for the day: 1107
