It is Tuesday, of what I have described as “my week”!  Today I wanted to make sure I made an attempt to get protein, yet go low on caloric intake.  After all, I am trying to break a new barrier.  I have not weighed less than 144 since April or May.  I have to be more determined than my metabolism, yet still take good care of myself.  So this is what I did... 

Breakfast: 

 I snagged a slice of my child's peanut butter toast.  The bread is Dave's Killer Bread "The Good Seed", which is a good source of protein when it comes to bread.

 I dusted off my protein powder from the cabinet and had a protein shake of commercial design for a change (and also for an impacting 20 grams of protein).

Lunch: 1 ½ apples (not pictured)

Dinner: 

 This was my dinner.  A half cup of rice with teriyaki stir fry veggies, mixed with pineapple, chick peas, and topped with sunflower seeds.  Yumm!

The total count for today’s calories are low…about 650.  That seems extreme in a snapshot, but when I think about all the food I had today and the fact that I was only hungry before dinner time, and after dinner I was full and satisfied, then I think this was fine.  I know that I did not jeopardize my health or compromise any kind of self-respect code.  I would not do that in order to obtain a healthy BMI.  I am however ready to do the work, finally!
