Today was a day of rest and relaxation. The girls went to Spearfish for a festival. I stayed home and read for awhile, then my son took me to see "I, Robot" which was much better than I expected. We grilled out and had dinner together and then I relaxed the rest of the day.

I had a purposefully low calorie day to jump into the week. I'm upping my cardiovascular exercise and monitoring my calories a little more closely. I was originally going to fast but decided instead to just cut my calories and fly under the radar. Here were my meals:

Breakfast:

1/2 cup granola mixed with 1/4 cup whole fat yogurt
lotsa coffee

Lunch:

1 slice stone ground whole wheat bread
1 tbsp all natural organic peanut butter
1 cup strawberries

Snack at the movies:

1.5 oz mixed nuts

Dinner:

4 oz grilled skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup Quinoa
1 large romaine and red pepper/cucumber salad

(all of the above diced and mixed together)

Late night snack:

1 slice stone ground whole wheat bread
1 pat of margarine (the kind that does NOT have trans fatty acids)
