I'm counting yesterday as a successful day in my weight management 😊 First I got all kinds of praise from my cardiologist on my weight loss. He asked for details & I told him I got tired of being fat. Plus we discussed the benefits I'm seeing from the loss. I had a couple of episodes in 2006 & 2007 with irregular heart beat. I see the cardiologist to monitor things but, haven't had any issues in quite awhile.
I posted pics of some snacky stuff I bought to try. One way I manage my calories is making my afternoon "meal" a snack plate with an assortment of things like hummus, a bit of cheese, avacado, baby carrots, olives etc. I might add half a serving of crackers (5 or 6) so I'm always on the lookout for tasty options. I keep the total calorie count btween 200 to 300.
Yesterday, I didn't have any lunch unless you count the 70 calorie cappuccino I had after I got home. We got a new combo coffeemaker for Christmas so I got these to try. It hit the spot til dinner.
We ate dinner out & after a higher calorie day on Wed. I was trying to be "good". So I passed up the risotto or pasta option as a side with my chicken Picata and ordered mixed veggies. Hubby & I shared a bottle of wine and he got an order of tiramisu to go. We shared that at home. My estimated calories did not go over my RDI.
