First, the food. Why? It’s easier to talk about. Today was a lower-calorie day than I’ve had in a while, but not for lack of trying to hit my daily goal of 800-900 calories. I did hit my protein goal of 80 grams minimum, so that’s what I aim for first. I worry about calories after that since I’m burning more calories than I know I am taking in by just breathing in and out every day. 🙂 Protein must take priority!

Today’s food choices, from upper right: multivitamin and calcium supplements x2; Trader Joe’s crab stuffed flounder; Trader Joe’s turkey jerky; Goldfish crackers; cheesy barbecue turkey meatloaf minis; chicken taco filling. Not shown: Trader Joe’s mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
I was on my way out of the bathroom earlier this evening on my way to the kitchen to make myself dinner, and stopped by the full-length mirror that hangs on our bedroom closet. I looked at myself and was displeased with what I saw.
