**This was a mistake. When I got out of the pool after an hour of aerobics, then ran errands for almost 2 hours, I was moody, shaky, and my body felt very heavy and hard to move. Hello. I'd had VERY little protein in those 525 morning calories. I'll try not to do that again.**

lunch - Sonic wrap (I HAD to have something on the go.) (260)

**Wait until you see this! We splurged and ate out! I was nervous about staying within 2,000 calories, and I'd only been to the pool an hour. So, I did the research online at the Chili's website and the have several "Guiltless Grill" entrees. Check it out...I even splurged and had FRIES...my FAVORITE food on the planet!**

dinner - Chili's Guiltless Chicken Platter (grilled chicken breast, rice, steamed veggies) (371), side of fries (410) By FAR, the best, most delicious 781 calories of my day! Heck, of my week!

Thursday, June 11

breakfast - Protein Power Lunch, but with only 1/2 cup chicken (330)
lunch/snack - Sonic wrap (260)
dinner -

**YUM! I made 1 pound (the whole box) of whole wheat penne rigate pasta and added 1 cup of Campbell's cheddar cheese condensed soup (no water). With hindsight, I may use 2 cans next time...I'll have to check the calories...because the sauce was sparse and didn't add much flavor. We put salsa on top for flavor and few calories.)**

ok...back to dinner - 2 steamed talapis filets (124), steamed red bell pepper and broccoli left overs (47), 2 cups pasta mixture (420 pasta, 66 sauce for a total of 486)

dessert - jello (10) and 100 calorie pack (100)

exercise - none...I couldn't wake up for morning swim class. :(
