Move365

Food diary for the day. I fully realize some of my dinner photos don’t look appetizing. The restaurant was dark and it was an iPhone photo with flash. 

Pre-gym breakfast: Whole Foods 365 organic string cheese, water. 

Post-gym breakfast: Einstein Bros cranberry bagel, plain. Coffee.

Lunch: Leftover Thai. Tom Kha Coconut chicken soup. Plain La Croix.

Dinner: Tonight was the night my husband and I went out to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We got childcare for the kids, and went to a nice restaurant. They had a Valentine’s Day menu that featured appetizer, entree, side and desserts for each person. I tried to keep healthy choices in mind as I made my selections. I chose the field green salad with vinaigrette (over the blue cheese wedge and caesar, which had more fattening dressings). I chose the 12oz NY strip steak (picture taken after I ate, then realized I never took a pic). Admittedly, it was still a hunk of beef. I didn’t eat the whole thing, and I chose the leaner cut of beef. For my side, instead of something creamed, or potatoes, I went with mushrooms. For dessert, my husband and I each ate one chocolate covered strawberry. I also had a dirty martini and a mojito. It was by no means a healthy, low calorie dinner, but it was an indulgence, a special occasion and I tried to make somewhat sensible choices. 

Tomorrow I’ll work it all off on the trampoline!
