Successful Tuesday

Hello!

Today was a pretty great day for the most part.  I accomplished a lot!  I decided what I’m going to dress up as for my nephew Ramsey’s 5^th Birthday party this Sunday (August 7^th!)  That’s a surprise I’ll share at a later date J.  Then after work my Mom and I went to Ross Dress for Less and I found a very cute/sexy dress to wear for my friend Courtney’s Bachelorette party this Friday evening (August 5^th.)  So two great things I needed to do this week and I can check them off my list!

My biggest goal this week as I mentioned last night is to eat better and keep track of my carbohydrates.  With the help of my amazing iPhone app MyFitnessPal I did that today successfully!  I did eat more carbohydrates than I was planning, but that’s because my Mom forgot about my plan this week and brought me home a Burger King breakfast sandwich.  It was delicious, but it had 26 grams of carbohydrates and I was hoping to limit myself to 20 a day this week.

Calorie Breakdown

As shown above I did have a lot more fat today than normal because I was trying to explore other foods that are lower in carbohydrates.  Had I not eaten that breakfast sandwich I would have only had 18 grams of carbohydrates.  So this week again I'm trying to focus on carbohydrates and staying within my 1200 calorie a day limit.  Today I was successful at staying under 1200 and even eating fewer carbohydrates!
