Laurel's quest to get back on track: Day 1 
My main goal right now is to butch up, put on some muscle, and mostly get STRONG  In a few months I will probably switch gears a little and try to lose just a wee bit of fat (for uh, ya know, bikini season and stuff... lol I don't remember the last time I wore a bikini, but still  )
So this was today:
Morning (over about 3 hours, grazing pre- and post-workout):
750ml water + acacia
1 slice homemade french bread
1 large pancake w/applesauce
4 egg whites scrambled w/1/4 cup spinach and curry powder (makes 'em orange, and tasty  )
Lunch/snacks throughout the day:
750ml water + acacia
1 cup rice w/1/2 cup romano beans and 1/4 cup green peas
2 single-serving bags baked lays 
Dinner (aka grazing throughout the evening):
750ml water
1 cup minestrone soup (pureed) w/1 slice french bread
veggie burger patty w/1 cup rice and 1/4 cup green peas
1 cup applesauce
1 cup ff soy milk
Exercise
Morning: 30 mins weights workout
Evening: 15 min (vigorous) bike ride
OK so all in all, not a terrible day for Day 1. Boy does it feel good to get back to the weights For water I'm just over 2L - I know I feel better when I get in 3L, but 2L is good too. For calories, I'm not really counting but my rough estimate would be around 1900 - which is NOT enough (for me). (1900 is about my BMR + daily activities... minus the ~200-300 calories I burned in exercise, that puts me at a deficit, which is not where I want to be right now as I'm not looking to lose weight.)
Also I'm not too pleased with myself about those 2 bags of Baked Lays (processed junk... but oh, oh so addictive!) - but that's what happens when I get stranded at school in meetings running way overtime with no snacks in my bag. And I didn't do incredibly well with my fruit and vegetable intake today. But oh well... on to tomorrow. See you all then!
