Today was a great day! I got up and exercised for 30 mintues on the treadmill. For breakfast today I changed it up a bit. I had a breakfast bowl that had egg whites, potatoes, and turkey sausage. It was the great value brand from Walmart and has about 220 calories. They cost $2.00-$2.50 and still have a pretty good flavor. One of my favorite meals is eggs and sauage so it is good to have a healthy alternative.
For lunch today I met with the church board at Parkview Pizza in Flippin, AR. I was thinking about lunch all morning because I really had no idea what I was going to eat because they serve pizza, pasta, burgers, and sandwiches. Previously when I have eaten there, there has not been a lot of healthy choices on the menu. However, I did notice they had a chicken breast salad. Normally the chicken there is hand breaded and deep fried. The waitress asked why I have not been there in the last few weeks and I explained to her what I am doing and that I have lost 16 lbs and that the main reason I have not been there is because I am trying to eat healthy. She then asked if I wanted the chicken breast grilled. What I found out is that even though it is not on the menu the staff there is willing to grill the chicken for either the salad or the sandwich. I ended up getting a grilled chicken sandwich with a salad in place of the french fries. So, if you are trying to eat healthy and the menu does not show healthy choices do not be afraid to ask if they can help you out. I now have another resturant that I can continue to eat at and still try to be healthy.
For dinner I had to eat on the run because my kids all had ball practice. I ended up grabbing a southwest chicken salad and an unsweet tea from McDonald's. Today was a great day, I exercised, ate healthy, got to spend time with my children at their ball practices, and will be able to get to bed early. I end the day looking forward to tommorrow.
