Today was a MUCH better day than yesterday! My plan of "snacking" every two hours or so worked and I was able to curb my hunger until dinner was done! I went slightly over in calories, carbs, proteins and fats, but the exercise that I did more than made up for that. All in all, not too bad, in my opinion! And, I drank water ... 80 ounces in total! It really wasn't all that hard ... much easier, in fact, than I thought it would be!

Food Diary:
80 ounces water
20 ounces coffee - 6 calories, 0 carbs
3 Tablespoons French Vanilla Creamer - 135 calories, 21 carbs
1 stick extra sharp cheddar cheese - 120 calories, 0 carbs
1 strawberry breakfast bar - 90 calories, 18 carbs
1 package Wheat Thins toasted chips - 100 calories, 16 carbs
1 chicken, mushroom and onion quesadilla - 572 calories, 56 carbs
2 Tablespoons sour cream - 60 calories, 1 carb
2 cups Turkey Hill iced tea - 180 calories, 44 carbs
1 packet pink lemonade protein water - 30 calories, 6 carbs
1 honey nut breakfast bar - 90 calories, 6 carbs

Total Calories: 1,383 (1,200 goal) - difference: +183
Total Carbs: 168 (165 goal) - difference: -3
Exercise: 60 minutes (30 goal) - difference: +30
Calories Burned: 503 (238 goal) - difference: +265
(Over in calories (bad), exercise and calories burned (good!), but under in carbs (good!))

With the calories allowance for the exercise, the numbers look like this:
Total Calories: 1,383 (1,703 goal) - difference: -320
Total Carbs: 178 (234 goal) - difference: -56
Exercise: 60 minutes (30 goal) - difference: +30
Calories Burned: 503 (238 goal) - difference: +265

With the added allowances, I was under in everything, so I feel that this was a pretty successful day!

Oh, and I walked 3,331 steps (or 1.1 mile) and burned 119 calories.
