What I Ate: 1/12/2010

I accidentally left my drink mixes at home this morning. It was traumatic at first, but sort of freeing not to have an automatic 50 calories and 12 net carbs as part of my diet. I'm going to try to stick with it for a few days. Buying fewer of those drink mixes could save me a lot of carbs and money!

• 1 Believe Chai Latte protein drink (120 kcals, 20g protein, 5g net carbs, 0g fat), spread out over 2 decaf coffees as creamer
• 3 slices Hormel Natural smoked deli turkey (50 kcals, 10g protein, 1g net carbs, 1g fat) with 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light cheese (35 kcals, 2.5g protein, 1g carb, 2g fat)
• 1/2 Oh Yeah! vanilla creme in another decaf coffee as creamer. This was really good, I added 1/2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa and Torani sugar-free chocolate syrup to make a warm mocha. (115 kcals, 16.5g protein, 2g net carbs, 4.5g fat)

I did the elliptical this morning for 45 minutes and supposedly burned about 475 calories. The estimated distance was a bit over 3.5 miles.

I backed this up tonight with another 30-minute Pilates DVD, thanks to the 10 in '10 challenge I'm doing with a group of politico friends. We have to get in 180 separate workouts this year, and I don't want to fall behind!
