Day #3 - A Bit of Excess

I didn't plan today's meals very well and ended up exceeding my self-imposed limit in carbs and sugar,  but under my 1200 calorie limit. Looking back on the day, I shouldn't have put cherries (30 carbs/22 sugar/100 calories) in my Arbonne Protein Shake. I used cherries because yesterday I put mixed berries in and ended up spitting seeds out all through the meal. Yuck! Guess I'll have to look for another solution. Tonight my dinner had too many carbs and grams of sugar, too--shouldn't have done the chicken and rice together.

I did a lot of running around today and am heading out to a hockey game in a few minutes, so it looks like I won't get to the treadmill tonight, either. Sigh. Only the third day and I'm already struggling. It would be all too easy to give up, but I'm not going to do it. Fall down, get back up.

Here's today's damage:

Breakfast: (37 carbs / 7 sugar / 204 calories)

Total: 176g carbs / 61.5g sugar / 1135 calories

Oh...and I'll have my cup of Sleeptime Tea when I  get home from the game. But that doesn't count.
