Day 1 again

I need to start this post by introducing to you Mike. He is the love of my life and my little lab mouse. He is also doing this project with me. ( begrudgingly ) We ( I ) thought a mans point of view could be useful, and he loves me and is willing to do most crazy idea I come up with. So with the rambling introduction done I can recap about yesterday.

I should begin by telling you, we are vegetarians; However this is not going to turn into a soapbox blog. I am just letting that one reader know because some of the things we eat may come off as a bit strange. That said here we go.

Yesterday my total calorie count for the day was about 1251. Mikes was 1790, because as he likes to point out he burns more and therefor needs more calories than I do. What ever!
This calorie count was for three meals and two snack. Just encase you are curious what we ate I will list the items. For those who are not you can practice the art of ignoring things.

Breakfast:
Grape Nuts- about a cup, I don't measure anything. I am not even sure I know how.
Soy milk- maybe a ½ cup
Then I took time to watch the cereal expand
blackberries-8 or so
Black coffee- Give me a break, I know it's not good for me but I am a work in progress.
1 liter of water

Snack:
Granola bar
1 liter of water

Lunch:
Nut loaf sandwich- Whole wheat bread, nut loaf ( vegetarian equivalent to meat loaf, and ketchup
Grapes- a twig full
Carrot sticks
1 liter of water

Snack:
another twig of grapes
1 liter of water

Dinner:
Baked potato and Mikes homemade salsa
1 liter of water

Again that was about 1251 calories and 1 gallon of water. I was not hungry at all, but now have a permanent residence in the bathroom. I am thinking of putting in a water cooler so I don't have to travel as much.

For exercise we rode our bikes to the lake for a picnic and to play a few games of Farkle in the great out doors. Bike ride totaled 10 miles

For the natural spa treatment did a coffee ground and sea salt body scrub. This I did measure. ( Guess I do know how.) 1 table spoon sea salt 3 table spoons of fresh caffeinated coffee grounds.

Pro: I really liked the scrub. I got the same results that I get when I use more expensive store bought scrubs

Con: It is messy. If you try it make sure to rinse your shower well after.

The mans point of view: ( Said in a deep, overly dramatic voice.)
Not worth the mess. I mean really, coffee stains in the shower. Blah.

Thank you Mike for that in depth review.

There you have it , day 1.
