The Husband is away on business so I have been cooking for one. Tonight I whipped up the following for a yummy dinner:
1 poached chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup salsa verde
1/4 cup fat free chedder cheese, shredded
Mix all together until cheese melts.
Add crunched up baked tostitos (11 chips)
And eat with 4 small corn tortillas and 1 cold beer
Calories: 783
Fat: 6
Fiber: 6
It was very good. A little heavy on the calories and light on veggies, but filling.
I want to keep a daily calorie count on here, but have not decided quite how to do it. For now I will just list it in the posts.

This week I am hoping to keep my daily caloric intake between 1500 & 1800.
One of my very strong personality traits is that I am extreme. I either do not eat at all or eat it all. In order to not allow myself to slide up and down such a steep hill, I decided to try and stick to a calorie range for the first month of this journey. The range of 1500-1800 takes into account my body weight and daily activity level, as well as my weight loss goals.
I am not looking to drop 5 lbs a week or anything like that. My goal is 1-2 lbs a week, which from all accounts is a healthy amount. I have had both quick and drastic weight loss and weight gain and know the devastating effects of both on my mind and body. My current goals reflect that experience and allow me to avoid repeating those negative consequences.
