Day Three - Tuesday April 21

Day three already. I read that your body stores carbs for two days, so today, I should no longer have carbs burning for energy - let the fat burning begin!

Another intersting note about today, I gave up coffee. That is HUGE for me. I love my coffee, and I love high carb flavored creamers that I put in it. I drank coffee the first two days with a teaspoon of non dairy creamer and a packet of sweetner. Not the same. Today, I had tea instead and I enjoyed it. So I'm thinking I'm giving up coffee for good, at least for now!

Also, I did Wii Fit for 30 minutes. I'm the worst at working out, but Wii Fit is kinda fun and since I'm not exactly in shape, 30 minutes gets my heart pumping! I'm going to try to walk a couple nights a week and do Wii Fit a couple times a week so I have some exercise going on...

So, here's today's menu, I came in around 15 carbs, I think:

Breakfast:

2 eggs scrambled, with a little cheese and bacon on top.

Lunch:

leftovers from last nights dinner - 2 chicken tenders and some broccoli

Dinner:

Pork Chops (George seasoned them with a rub and cooked them in a skillet)

Tomato/Basil salad

4 Tomatoes
Basil
Mozzarella Cheese
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Chop the tomatoes and drain some of the juice off them. Chop or tear basil leaves and add to tomatoes. (I used about six leaves, I love basil!) Drizzle with olive oil, add in a little cheese (1/2 cup) and salt and pepper and toss.

Zuchinni

We had a zuchinni recipe that flopped. George diced the zuchinni, dipped it in egg then parmesan cheese and put it on a sprayed baking sheet and baked 30 minutes. Came out burnt and stuck to the baking sheet. But, I salvaged a few, and they were yummy. I'll try this again with a different pan, (greased) and bake a shorter time!

My review: Pork chops, delicious. Tomato/Basil salad, delicious. Zuchinni, challenged.

Snacks:

I didn't actually snack too much, that I can recall. Had some celery sticks dipped in ranch dressing. I drank water like crazy today so maybe that's why?
