New Years Healthy Lifestyle Day 1

This will be my food diary.


  1. Water
  2. 1 Apple
  3. Half cup of salad with a teaspoon of dressing.
  4. Toasted wheat bun with a teaspoon of butter.

Calories so far: 385

Will update on dinner later.  I am still hungry.  I had water with an apple for breakfast and then I waited a half an hour to eat something after the fruit, which was a salad and buttered bread.  We have rice and beans leftover but I don't want to overeat.  I will drink more water and see how I feel in an hour or two.  If I did my calculations correctly, I have 615 calories left to eat.  I don't exercise at the moment, so the 1000 calorie limit will work for now.  Once I start burning and exercising, I will need more.  I hate this resolution.  I do it every year and I fail miserably.  Why can't I just get healthy?  It doesn't seem so hard to other people.


  1. Toasted wheat bun with a teaspoon of butter.
  2. 1 cup of rice and beans.
Calories: 385 + 295 = 680.

Okay so 680 calories  and its 6:34p.m.  So, I'm actually doing too well.  I can eat more than I thought, I just have to track how many calories I'm intaking.  Woo hoo!


  1. Salad with dressing
  2. Boca chicken patty on wheat bun
  3. Diet Coke Caffeine Free
Calories: 385 + 680 = 1065 (edit: miscalculated. Actually 1265)

Okay so my goal was met with a few extra calories added on.  Good for my first day!
(I guess 1265 isn't too bad.  Will try and do better today)
