Day 1 of my new life

Oh. My. Fage! I am completely and totally in love with Fage (fa-yeh) Greek-style yogurt. I had it this morning and it is SO different from "american" yogurt. It's super-thick and creamy, not gelatinous at all. I will never go back!!!

Breakfast:
2 small boiled eggs
1 piece whole-grain toast with 1/2 tsp whipped butter
Berries & Yogurt (1/2 cup Fage, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 Tbsp ground flax seed, 1 pkt Truvia)

Lunch:
Roast beef wrap (3 oz lean roast beef, 1/4 tsp horseradish, 1 slice tomato, 1 Mission carb-balance tortilla)
3 thin slices of avocado
1 cup red and green grapes
1 small square dark chocolate with mint

Snack:
Banana Smoothie (3/4 cup Fage, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 frozen banana, 4 Tbsp vanilla protein powder)

Dinner:
Well, as I feared, we did indeed hit a stumbling block with dinner. The recipe I had planned originally was a Greek Orzo and Shrimp Salad. It *sounded* healthy, but when I plugged the recipe into Calorie Count, it came up with a count of 832 calories per serving!!!! Yowza. Axe that. I'm sure I'll find something else to use that orzo for at a later date. Luckily, it's not a fridge item. So, since my avocado hunt today was super successful, we had last night's scheduled fajitas (and, at Bean's request, I did both steak and tonight's originally scheduled shrimp -- that girl is having the BEST ideas!).

1 fajita taco (Mission Carb Balance tortilla with 3 oz steak and 2 Tbsp homemade guacamole)
4 fajita'd shrimp

Snack:
1 small orange
1 string cheese

Total calories for the day: 1545 (goal was 1500-1600). Yay me!

Workout:
30 minute walk with the BuzzBoy.

I can see from my diary, though, that I missed quite a few veggie servings today (1 out of 4 isn't such a great percentage, eh?). I'll have to figure out how to get them into my breakfast and dinner (other than just a salad).

Hope everyone had a great day!

Can I hire you to plan my meals, too? Oh, I should mention that you'd also have to shop for me then as well.

Are you kidding?? I don't even like shopping for myself (although I did have a lovely time BY MYSELF at Wegmans today -- it was nice not having someone standing there saying "Do you really need to look at that? Can't you just pick one? etc.").
