Perfection Challenge: Day 3 Stat’s

I get a little nervous on rest days that I will go over my points/calories, but I was very pleased at the end of the day that after being careful and weighing and measuring all of my food I came in just under 1500 calories and 6 points to spare. I got a little tempted at dinner (because I made roast beef & mashed potatoes), but after weighing all of my food it looked like the quantities would be satisfying. And now I am plenty full so I am glad I didn’t let my eyes get bigger than my stomach.

Here is how today rounded out:

Breakfast

Lunch

Snack

Dinner

Macro Stat’s

Once again, a little heavy on the carbs, but my protein was spot on for my weight lifting schedule.

Healthy Checks

Hmmm. No dairy today, weird.

Great day of eating and now I am anxious to get back to the gym tomorrow morning. That is why I love a rest day, I’m roaring to go on Monday morning!

Have a restful Sunday night!

Lazy Sunday Mornings

I love being able to just lounge around the house on a Sunday morning. Take my time getting ready, not having to run off to the gym. Especially after the ROUGH night I had. Little miss Hanna Bear threw up all over her crib and so I had to strip her crib down and redress it. Then I had to change her jammies and clean her off. By the time I was done she was pretty awake and I had to sit and rock her for an hour so she would get drowsy. I think it was just a case of over feeding because she seems fine today, thank goodness.

The other thing I LOVE about Sunday mornings is a HEARTY breakfast. I go to church for 3 hours, so I have to make sure that whatever I eat in the morning lasts me until 2:30 when I get home. This morning I decided to finally try a recipe I’d been eying for a while on the Carrot’s ‘n’ Cake blog. The recipe is for Protein Pancakes. I made sure to plug all of the information into the Daily Plate to find out all of the nutrition facts so that it would stay within my alloted points. I was very surprised to see how they weighed in:

Low in fat and high in protein. A little carby, but I think that will be a great sustainer for the next few hours.

This recipe yields 2 pancakes, but my batter made 3 HUGE pancakes, and they were a pretty sight:

I topped them with some sliced strawberries and light maple syrup and the point value was 12 Weight Watchers Points+ for the entire meal, but there was so much food that I couldn’t finish the entire meal:

The banana and protein powder made the batter sweet. They were fluffy and dense, a great combo. I will definitely be making this recipe again in the future!
