Portion Control: My personal challenge

Let's analyze yesterday and today's meals so far:

Thursday, January 17
B: Chocolate Shakeology + strawberries and PB

L: Portobello mushroom sandwich / the rest of my cauliflower soup

D: filet of herb-coconut crusted Tilapia / arugula salad / mini caprese salad

Workout: 3 miler on the treadmill (it was "cold" outside... okay, I wimped out)

Friday, January 18
B: Chocolate Shakeology + strawberries
S: Pita chips, crackers, spinach and kale dip, you name it chips
L: El Paso luncheon... one gordita chimichanga (grilled chicken, avocado, lettuce, sour cream) and rice and beans.  Ate it all.  Ugh.

6 miler outside.  Chilly 32 degrees outside but the sun is shining.


The moral of the story is PORTION CONTROL! Today was a ton of carbo loading that I could have avoided.  I brought a banana to work and didn't even touch it.  I was so entranced by bread that I went off track...

Update: Girls night out!  Yelp approved
D: Bailey's and coffee / smorgasboard of apps including oysters, reuben eggrolls, tuna tartare tacos, goat cheese and lamby meats.  A wide array of samplers, probably more rich in flavor than large in quantity.  93 dollars later....
