Well, the kids are home today, so the whole schedule is off!  : (
No workout today (that is not that bad anyway, since I really think I needed a day to recover a bit).  Took the girls for our ritual lunch date at Glenn's Diner

Breakfast
1/2 cup Corn Pops - 100 Cal (but basically pure sugar)

Lunch
Salad (spinach, romaine, tomatoes, onion, cucumber) with:
1/2 Avacado - 150 Cal
3 oz Lobster - 75 Cal
2oz shrimp - 75 Cal
2 oz Trout - 150 Cal
3/4 cup Mac and Cheese - 400 Cal

OK, well, that was a HUGE lunch.850 Cal in one meal!  But - lots of lean protein.  The big mistake was obviously the mac n cheese.  Still, overall I am actually happy with the meal.  We ate very slowly.  We had lunch as a family.  The meal was nutritious, overall.  I am planning on having a VERY low calorie, low residue dinner.  After I finish this post, I'm taking in UNDER 200 Cal, and starting to get rid of a little bit of the 5 gallons of water (literally) that I've had since Tuesday's mega-workout.  Remember that I'm not keeping that water, I'm just borrowing it, but it take a while to work itself out.  I have been drinking 1 coffee a day, and about a gallon of water a day on Tues, Wed and Thurs.  Expecting to lose the TWENTY POUNDS of water that I consumed in 3 days is a bit much to ask.  So, I've done all the right things this week.  I have no idea what the scale is going to say tomorrow, but I've put in the work and it's really just the first week for me. I'm definately establishing a pattern of 5-6 days a week of workouts, and 1400-1600 calories per day.

Honestly though, I'm really nervous about the weigh in.  I'm not even competing, but I'm still pretty nervous about it.  In order for me to be on track I want 3 pounds tomorrow.  I don't know if that is going to happen, but that is my goal.
