We celebrated my niece's, Lois, first birthday today (belated, due to business trips and family sickness). It was nice having the whole family together after so long. Maddie and Lois had a lot of fun playing together.
Diet
Breakfast - Pancakes with Blueberries and Strawberries
Snack - skipped for cake & ice cream later!
Lunch - Tuna Sandwich & Pear
Snack - skipped!
Dinner - Hamburger, French Fries, Pasta Salad
Dessert - Cake & Ice Cream
The hamburger was a recipe from a burger cookbook my brother had. They were some kind of chipotle burger with honey chipotle sauce. I loved them, and kept all the extra sauce - spicy and delicious. Instead of mustard I am going to be using this in my tuna sandwiches. Probably a couple extra calories, but delicious.
The cake and ice cream were excellent. Jess makes a special cake for Maddie because of egg, milk, and peanut allergies. I figured out the entire cake, with frosting, had 7000 calories!! So I had about 300 calories of cake and 100 calories of ice cream. In all, less than 1000 calories more than a normal P90 day, which means probably my normal maintenance calorie intake. This is something that sounds good to do once a week. I've read that cycling low and high calorie days fights the body's tendency to go into "starvation" mode, where your metabolism lowers if your body doesn't think it is getting enough food to survive.
