Well, It's Sunday night - technically Monday morning, but who's counting. We had a very active weekend, felt like I never had a minute to sit and "think about food" which is such a struggle for me working from home.
We are finding new ways to get exercise that really doesn't feel like exercise. Saturday we went out on our first Geo Caching exposition. And for those of you who don't know what geocaching - it's basically a scavenger hunt using GPS. We found ourselves hiking into the woods as a family looking for these canisters, just to say we found them. I know, kinda geeky, but when we were done, we realized - we hiked almost 1/2 mile in somewhat rugged terrain and it felt good. We plan to do more of these.
As for the meals, there were not as many as during the week while I'm sitting in my home office. Both days managing to keep our intake below 1400 - which is still 600 below our budget for our loss goal. I guess I can't complain.
This included having a Hula Salad from Max & Erma's. First time there, and well, its a gourmet burger place. So the diet-friendly foods were limited. I found a salad with greens, pineapple, mandarin oranges, and grilled chicken with low-fat honey mustard dressing and a glass of water to do the trick - 563 calories for dinner.
We've stocked up the fridge with lots of different veggies and melons and berries. Looking forward to a little more variety in our menu this week as we start to explore new low fat options.
We have become obsessed with the sodium intake - according the daily recommended values - we should not exceed 2400mg with a 2000 calorie diet, but this seems almost impossible. What can we do to maintain our calories without exceeding our sodium OR is this really important for us to maintain?
