Numbers for 7/10:

Calories: 1465 (woohoo!)
46% Carbs
34% Protein
20% Fat

So... a little off today on the percentages, but not horribly so. It's going to be a continuing struggle to get enough protein, I think... and fewer carbs. I'll be loving the week when I get to have 50% carbs, I'll tell you that much!

I have realized that I need to PLAN AHEAD rather than try to squeeze more protein in at dinner or in the evening. I think this will be the key for me. I'm going to start plugging stuff into SparkPeople tonight and see how it works for tomorrow. If I can even get 3 days worth of meals planned out, I can alternate them pretty easily and get enough variety rather than having to plan EVERY day.

Proud moment... the family went to the car races at a local track tonight. Knowing how well I had done all day, I didn't want to blow it by eating crap @ night. I had my dinner before we went, and I resisted the urge to have even ONE french fry.... yay for me! I did bring a Kashi Trail Mix bar and a piece of gum with me just in case. I had the gum, but didn't need the bar. Yay!
