Shelley: Day 7 - Mango, Mango, Mango!!

I have Mexican music stuck in my head.  Someone at the gym was blaring their music through their headphones and I can't shake it.  Cha, Cha, Cha!!!

Another good day.  I worked out, which always helps me keep my calories in line.  The kids were only marginally crazy, so I really can't ask for too much more from a day.

Here's today's breakdown;

Budget 1,366 Food 1,705 Exercise -1,148 Net 557 Under 809

BMR CALC:  (1,6787.7+1,148)-1,705= 1,121.7 Deficit for Today (Thought I will probably have popcorn as a snack later which will cost me 155 cals.)  (3,800 Cals = 1 Lb)

Tomorrow is house cleaning day.  My all-too-good mother-in-law takes my kids in the morning so I can clean unfettered.  I hate missing my workout but a clean house is pretty awesome.

TODAY'S TIP:  Mango, Mango, Mango!  I am a sauce girl!  As a kid I would eat whole bowls of ketchup (you know you did it too). As an adult, that's not a fablous trait as sauce, dressing, etc. often add A LOT of calories.  So in keeping with allowing myself to be myself but a healthy-self I've been searching out healthy alternatives.  Lately, I've been eating Rico's Mango Salsa.  It's fresh and doesn't have anything except mangos, cilantro, jalapeno, and jicima.  Today, I had it paired with some Triscuit thins (YAY Nibisco for making these!!!).  So the next time you are at the grocery store check out the fresh salsas.  You can top chicken, salads, and Triscuits with low calorie ease!
