I am able to have more calories because I am still nursing Moriah. When I stop, I will only be able to eat about 1500 calories, as long as I keep exercising. Some days I eat up to 2500 calories because I am really hungry (like last Saturday after Erin and I ran 7 miles), other days I am not nearly as hungry, but don't ever eat under 1200 calories!
As you can see, I need to eat more fruit and veggies and protein. I need to go grocery shopping! I get stuck in a rut for breakfast and lunch. There are things that I love to eat and don't like to veer too much! In the summer, those things change. I can't eat enough fruit in the summer, but in the winter, it is a little harder to get motivated to buy fruit!
Next week I am going to post the Abs Diet for Women Weekly menu. It is really great!

Thanks a lot Heather!! I know you are not perfect, but I just wanted some tips, and ideas on things to snack on etc. Your menu really helped!! I recently discovered those Fiber One Bars, they are delicious!! And 1/3 your daily fiber intake!! What kind of popcorn do you use? And all your drinks you make, are those shaklee things? Thanks!!
Tawnya- It was really good for me to have to post this. It was a reality check for how I have been eating. I realized that I have been so busy focusing on other things that I haven't really been thinking about what I have been eating. I guess that is a good thing, but can be a bad thing. I just keep A TON of healthy snacks on hand so that when I want something I can grab it and I don't have to think much about it!!
Yes, they are delicious!! Sam's Club has a HUGE box. And, Target has the generic brand, which are cheaper!!
I just get the fat free popcorn that is the cheapest that week. I shoot for 15-20 calories per cup because I like to eat a lot of popcorn!!
Yes, the drinks are my Shaklee shakes!!
Have a wonderful weekend! I hope cleaning the nursery went well today!!
Tawnya- I tasted the Shaklee shakes and they actually taste good. I really like the "Cafe latte" ones. I'm gonna order some.
