Breakfast(800AM): High Protein bagel (140cal) with Justin's Maple Almond Butter (90cal) Perfectly toasted! And i actually cut the pkg of almond butter open to scrape it all out. :)
Snack/Lunch(1230/130PM): Tried very hard to get friend to plan for lunch - nixed the hotdog idea (a plain Costco hotdog is 555cal), but left open to many other things. Brought a 70 cal WW bar (Choc.Mint - Yum!) to eat (around 1230M). Then found myself in CostCo with a friend who was suddenly starving and had to have a hotdog. Dang. Pretty frustrating. I made do with selected samples. Will now attempt the feat of estimating their calories. Pop Chips - 50cal, Chips with salsa - 25cal, potato salad - 25cal, turkey burger - 15cal, Ciao Bella blood orange sorbet - 8 calories, virgin strawberry margarita - 25cal, tri tip - 20cal, chinese chicken salad - 40cal, ham and cheese sandwich - 60cal, raspberry tea - 60cal, bite of a hotdog - 35cal, (363cal total)
Of these, I loved the PopChips and bought a bag which I partitioned into servings that were a bit smaller than suggested (17servings per bag, instead of 15), to get a 100cal snack - 105cal, 3.5gfat, 220mgsod, 17.6g carb. I also really liked the Ciao Bella Sorbet bars - only 60cal for the whole bar. The turkey burger was served with a bit of Worcestershire, which i really liked as a condiment - would be good to have in the house.
Dinner (630PM): Salmon with spinach, wild rice, almonds, and cranberries (435cal). I think this is pretty decent. Not a huge fan of fish, but salmon is okay. Put a bunch of lemon juice on it. Added 1/3 cup of peas (35cal). Didn't seem filling as I was eating it, but by the time I got done I was pretty full. One of the few meals I've eaten in front of the TV - which used to be a common occurance - but now I'm all caught up on MadMen. :D
Snack(1100PM): Feeling a bit hungry and I don't want the calorie count to be too low for today - at 1133 right now. Plus the cupcake is calling to me. Going to eat 1/4 of the cupcake (105cal) and also 100 cal of something healthier. Will report back. Maybe I'll make a little 200 cal burrito... Reporting back - I did eat a mini-burrito, simply because it sounded healthier than eating sugar calories right before bed. I had half a large tortilla (100cal), 5/12 of an avocado (55cal), 1/8 cup pinto beans (25cal), bit of cheese (25cal), and some salsa. (205cal total)
On a side note, as I was moving things around the fridge, the cupcake box fell out - in my head it was like one of those slow-motion scenes, with the hero shouting n-o-o-o-o-o-o! and trying to catch something valuable. Turns out the cupcake made it through the fall undamaged, but I realized I'm probably a little too into the cupcake. :D I'll probably end up saving it until it goes bad...

Rode bike 0.7 mi to pick up dogs, then walked 0.6 mi home. Tomorrow morning, I'll do the opposite. It's not much exercise, but it's a start. The walking was fine, but the bike-riding was embarassingly difficult. I hope part of that was due to under-inflated tires. I'll find out if that's true tomorrow when I ride home.
