Breakfast: 4:20 am. (UGH-o-clock)
1/2 C Safeway Brand Blueberry Crunch Cereal. 3/4 C = 130 cal, so 130/3*2= 87 cal
3/4 C fat-free milk. 1 C = 90 Cal, so 90/4*3=68 cal

Lunch: 10am
1 Chicken Enchilada - 425 calories (estimated by the daily plate. This one's from Chevy's, but they don't have it in their nutrition list.)

Dinner: 4pm
1 Baked potato (btwn med & large) - about 200 cal
Butter substitute (I can't believe it's not butter) - about 3 tbsp - 210 cal (and *I* need a new substitute. My god!).
A sprinkle of onion - negligible
A bout 4 tbsp of salsa - 40 cal
1/2 a baked apple/raisin thingy - 150cal?

Total Daily: 1175 Cal

I'm really proud of myself with this Chevy's thing. I mean, I KNOW it's throwing me over my cal budgets, but the three meals I've had off it are all part of what I'd normally eat as ONE meal.

Other healthy things I'm doing: I started taking 800mg of folic acid/day, on the advice of my Dr, who is happily NOT afraid of nutritional supplements.

I canceled my chiro appt for today - I feel FINE. I could do cartwheels (well, as well as I usually do).

I'm home today - I went to work, cause I feel fine, but I've still got this cough, so they sent me back home. I tried the baked apple recipe...only I didn't have splenda, so I used brown sugar twin. We'll see how it works. I think a good addition to the sugar/cinna mix would be molly mcbutter.

So...here's the deal. I don't seem to have a problem sticking to 1200 calories on a regular basis. it's that extra 300 btwn 900 & 300 that's the problem. Where do i cut it? obv, dinner is my problem....but...how? without feeling hungry all night? hrmm
