Vita Muffins!

As I've written before, I'm really enjoying Vita muffins! I mean, they're packed with nutrients and fibre! They even have protein in them, which is fantastic since I sometimes lack protein in the mornings. I checked out http://www.vitalicious.ca/ and found out that I could actually order a box online. The prices are the same as in store, but there are so many different flavor options! I think the chocolate muffins with peanut butter chips look the most appealing, but I didn't want to get a 24-pack of all one kind so I opted for the "sweet tooth" variety pack. It contains: 6 Double Chocolate Dream , 6 Deep Chocolate , 6 Chocolate Mint and 6 Banana Fudge. I can't wait for them to arrive on my doorstep. Chocolate in the mornings? Sign me up!

Last night was such a relaxing night. We just made burgers for dinner and vegged in front of the TV while watching our guiltiest pleasure: The Biggest Loser! I'm not finding I like the contestants as much as previous seasons....but I'm sure once they start to get more serious about it, I'll get more into it!

Tonight I get to head over to Val's for our weekly workout together. I'm pretty excited! I'll be using the elliptical tonight so I'll post how that goes a bit later on.

Meals from yesterday:

Breakfast - Deep chocolate vita muffin, 1 cup of skim milk

Snack- Banana, 2 caltrate calcium chews

Lunch- 1 whole wheat pita, 2 tbsp. baba ghanoush dip, Apple, Fat free buttersotch pudding

Snack- S'mores granola bar

Dinner- 1 portion controlled burger (140 calories), 1 bun, 1 tbsp. ketchup, 1 tsp. mustard, Diet coke

Snack- 100 calorie bag of lays chips, 1 fun size chocolate bar (80 calories)

So I've been doing better with my fibre, calcium, protein and water intake, but I'm starting to notice a slip in adding fruits and veggies to meals! I'm going to need to focus more on the from now on. You're supposed to aim for 5-10 servings per day, and I've been making it to about 3. Ah well, I guess there's always going to be something to improve upon!
