Today is the first day of my food blog! I had the idea to start taking pictures of what I eat to inspire me to eat healthier. Today is also the first day of the King Weight Loss Challenge. The challenge is a 20 week challenge to lose weight and shape up before my cousin Brad's wedding on June 5th. This blog will hopefully work as a liaison between all other King Weight Loss Challengers and myself.
Breakfast:
South Beach Diet Bar: 100 calories
Snack:
Yo Crunch Cheesecake Yogurt: 100 calories
Lunch:
Amy's Organic White Cheddar Macaroni with spinach and a grilled chicken breast: 397 calories
Coffee:
with one tablespoon sugar free vanilla syrup and a tablespoon of half and half (in my Team Edward mug) : 12 calories
Dinner: I made chicken lettuce wraps with black beans and steamed carrots
My serving was around 304 calories.
So far my calorie total today is: 913 calories and I am now considering a hundred calorie chocolate ice cream...
Chocolate ice with a mini frozen chocolate chip cookie dough: 153 calories
new total: 1,066 calories
Guacamole Recipe:
For the Guacamole:
1 large, ripe avocado (skin gives a little when pressed on, should be dark green to almost black)
1/2 large, ripe tomato
1/4 sweet onion
1/3 bunch cilantro
Juice of 3 key limes (or 1 small lime)
