So far, since last Thursday, I've been at the gym pretty much every day! Yay me! Am I really back? I think I am!

One of my readers posted a comment yesterday on my blog asking the question if I am eating enough. I really counted my calories yesterday, weighed out everything and ended up eating a total of 1194 calories. I think that is enough. So I'm happy with that.

I am going to start posting my menu the next day, because what I said I was going to eat yesterday, ended up being a little different.

Here is what my menu ended up looking like:

5:20 am - 45 min of hard core training on the elliptical machine

8:00 am - 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices of bacon and coffee with cream = 290 calories

10:30 am - banana and about 9 almonds = 154 calories

1:00 pm - Jillian Michaels protein shake - Yummy - mixed wtih 1 cup of skim milk and 1 TBSP of organic peanut butter = 280 calories

2:40 pm - bartlett pear and about 7 almonds = 160 calories

5:30 pm - 1 cup of my homemade hamburger stew and just 1 itsy teeny bite of my garlic bread = 250 calories

9:15 pm - had a suger free dessert, jello chocolate mousse while I was watching the Biggest Loser (Go DANNY!) = 60 cal

TOTAL calories = 1194

Wt - didn't weigh! Stayed off the scales and trying to stay off them until 12/14/09. Just focussing on getting to the gym and eating right!

My plans tonight are:

1 hour of cardio, 1 hour of weight training (upper body & abs)
