Hi, ‘member me??! :-D

Well here I am back in action and back on track :-)  This morning for Breakfast I had a slice of Ezekiel toast with a smear of Becel RSF some baby spinach leaves, a few thin slices of tomato and a fried egg on top.  I brought out the ol’ santa mug to start of the week right with my cup of coffee with scotsburn blend cream and some starbucks sugar free syrup for a total of 208 calories:

Over the weekend I made a Split Pea with Ham soup and I have to say I am a HUGE fan of dried peas and lentil soups.  They never look like much, but they are always soooo filling and nutritious.  So I had a serving for Lunch and  I’ve estimated each serving of this recipe to be about 329 calories.  I also ran downtown during my lunch hour to get my new Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor (yayyyy!) and of course have to take the opportunity to hit up starbucks whenever I’m there since we don’t have one on every corner here in Halifax, so I grabbed a grande americano with a few sugar free shots of cinnamon dolce and some half and half for about 55 calories:

I had to run to the grocery store after work to pick up some produce etc. so late in the afternoon for a Snack I had a coconut cream pie larabar for 200 calories:

It was a toss up for Supper this evening.  I was late getting home and had to take Lucy out and all of that since hubby’s going to be working late all of this week, so I opted for a quick and delicious favourite of mine of a grilled bella burger on a whole wheat bun with all the delicious “garnishes” I love: baby spinach, red onion, tomato, roasted red pepper and kiri goat cheese spread. 

On the side I had a sautee of:

• sliced portobello mushroom
• red, orange, yellow, green peppers
• zucchini
• red onion
• green onion
• turnip/mustard greens (oh yeah, you read that right)
• garlic paste
• S&P
• feta stuffed jalepeno on top

All together supper was a very filling and satisfying 471 calories:

To finish of with “something sweet” I reached for a small bowl of green seedless grapes for 83 calories (jeez that’s kind of high!):

And my calorie total intake for the day was 1263. 

I have spent most of the evening trying to figure out my new heart rate monitor and never actually got to put it to use! lol  I’m excited about this model though because it will upload my data to the computer wirelessly through the soundcard/speaker on the computer!  Nice!  So I’ll be able to post reports on my calorie burn etc. once I get the hang of it!
