Success!

After feeling terrible about going over the average recommended calorie intake, I finally met my goal!

My Total Intake for Feb. 11th: 1,206 Calories

I also did some housework and cleaning yesterday (which counts as exercise), so I burned off 185 calories, leaving me with a net total of 1,021 calories.

How did I accomplish such a low number?

• I ate small portions of food low in calories throughout the day like rice cakes, cereal, and fruit
  
• For dinner, I ate 2 servings of chicken, carrots, broccoli, and half a serving of cottage cheese. I honestly didn't realize that vegetables were so low in calories; only 30 and 50 calories respectfully per serving!

Let's just say I'm super excited and I feel much better today than I did yesterday.

Today's tip: be sure to check the nutritional facts of every food you consider eating before you eat it. It may be low in calories, but the serving size may differ from what you believe it is.
