The Hump Day Reflection

I think about food ALL of the TIME!!!  I just can't stop!  I haven't the foggiest clue as to why.  And it is not just about eating.  I think about how many calories I have taken in and how many calories I have burned, what can I do to maximize my caloric intake, how to get a better variety into my diet, logging in my food diary, etc.  Geesh!  It could be however, a form of procrastination.  I do have gifted endorsement work and papers to grade.  Neither of which I have any interest in doing at the moment. 

I did very well today limiting the simple carbs, well except for that fudgsicle I had just a few minutes ago.  It is a whopping 40 calories and was the best  fudgsicle I have ever had.  :)

Here is my menu:
Breakfast - Decaf coffee with splenda and no sugar added swiss miss cocoa (my own mocha latte!)
                  4 oz grilled chicken with 2 slices of 2% cheese
Lunch - Salad with grilled chicken
             Apples and yogurt
Afternoon Snack - Cheese
Dinner - Weight Watchers Taco Soup with parmesan
Evening Snack - Fudgsicle (There may be another one later this evening.)

My calorie intake was about 1700 calories. My calorie burn usually averages about 2500-2700 a day, depending on the exercise.  Today was about 20 minutes of the elliptical and 10 minutes of weights.
