What I Ate: May 4, 2010

• Vanilla peanut butter cookie shake: 1 oz. fat-free cream cheese (30 kcals, 4g protein, 3g carbs, 0g fat) and 1/4 cup So Delicious coconut milk "beverage" (13 kcals, 0.2g protein, 0.2g carbs, 1.3g fat) with 1/2 scoop Inspire peanut butter cookie protein powder (66 kcals, 12.5g protein, 0.5g carbs, 0.5g fat), ice, vanilla extract, and sweeteners. Total - (109 kcals, 16.7g protein, 3.7g net carbs, 1.8g fat). This was pouchworthy - I didn't toss it - but I didn't love it. I bet a good peanut butter shake will require more of a caloric investment.

Today's exercise was 45 minutes on the elliptical in the morning before work. Yay! I dragged myself out of bed, finally! It made a big positive difference in how I felt for the rest of the day - well, at least until the annoyance of legal work kicked in.
