It's day too on the healthy eating journey and I am feeling pretty good! The one thing that has surprised me is that I don't eat as many calories as I think do... I have been using the MyFitnessPal app on my phone, and I don't get it 100%. I feel like it shows that I am burning way to many calories on the elliptical, but it doesn't show any calories being burned for strength exercises. Huh? And I never understand if I am supposed to replace the calories I am burning, or just eat the recommended 1500, because if I ate the ones I'm replacing won't I not lose weight? You can totally tell I'm a newbie here.
Meals
Breakfast - Half a cinnamon raisin bagel with some margarine
Lunch - Left over simple summer corn soup, a cup of fresh strawberries and about half a cup raw blue berries
Dinner - A wrap using gardein lime chicken, a tortilla, spinach, cucumber, tomato, hot sauce, and garlic pickle

Other Snacks - Three dates, a cup of miso soup.
