First meal of the day & plans for March

Tweet

As we're into March, my goals for the month are to stay active, and continue my attention to eating more healthily. February's 100 Mile Challenge was certainly a Kickstart to what I want to do this month and next month. Generally speaking, I'm eating two large meals per day, and having a small meal or snack to supplement it. I have not felt the need to eat three full meals per day, as long as I'm getting enough nutrients, and enough of the bulkier nutritious foods, which I find in eating lots of vegetables. My first meal of the day, I have eaten: --Two servings of smoked turkey sausage, 220 calories, $1.45 --one small onion, 25 calories, $0.10 --one medium sweet red bell pepper, 28 calories, $0.50 -- 7 crimini mushrooms, 15 calories, $0.70 --one half slice sourdough bread, 90 calories, $0.15 --one pat of butter, 35 calories, saved from another time --one cup of coffee, 2 calories, $0.25 Totals: 415 calories; $3.15 This month I am also going to concentrate on making sure that I'm active every day by using my Fitbit to keep me on track for steps. I don't think I will be doing 10,000 steps a day, but I would like to do 10,000 steps per day three times a week, and 5,000 to 6,000 steps on the other days. I will have to see if this is reasonable, or if I have to adjust it either up or down, depending on how I'm feeling. On March 1st, I walked well over 10,000 steps. Yesterday, I did over 6,000 steps. It's early in the month, so it will be interesting to revisit this each week or every two weeks to see if this is the best for me or if I need to alter it somehow.
