trifecta

First day of lent was a success now I have 39 more. This morning I woke up craving something cold so I poured myself a glass of almond milk with a sprinkle of kashi. I had baked oatmeal today I found I like them better cold then hot.
It is a horrible picture but I have almond butter, cookie butter and coconut butter spread on top all equaling about 1tsp definitely worth the 30 calories
Breakfast total-240

Giving up

Everyone always says once you lose weight and then don't loosen up a little on what you eat the weight will come right back. I thought since I was working out it was fine. APPARENTLY NOT! Ive gained..14.5 pounds. and no more will be added its time to start a healthy lifestyle for good. Today starts lent so I am giving up late night eating ie. after nine. This is when most of my caloric intake comes in!

I woke up this morning incredibly thirsty, so the usual oatmeal wasn't cutting it. I had
1c. Kashi       140
1/2 Soymilk   35
1 tbs Greek    10
1/3 banana    30
