LiveFit Trainer Phase 2 Day 44

Today was my first high calorie day, and it was definitely an interesting experience.  I have learned that through dieting for so long, I've figured out what foods I can eat more of, because they are low in calorie.  However, now that I can eat higher calories, I'm eating insane amounts of food!!!  I will admit right from the start that I did not meet my goal of eating 1750 calories, but man did I try!  I got to 1586, and I am lying here so full right now!  I cannot even think about eating another thing, even if it was a delicious Quest bar, and we all know those are my weakness!  Anyway, without further ado, here was my menu for today:
Breakfast:

• 2 cups of Butter Toffee coffee made from the same K-cup with 1/4 c. unsweetened almond milk and Stevia
• 1 La Tortilla Factory Low Carb High Fiber wrap
• 12 T liquid egg whites
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 4 T salsa

Lunch (Post Workout):

• 4 oz. baked chicken breast
• 1 c steamed broccoli
• Yellow mustard
• 1/2 sweet potato
• 1 T Better n PB 
• Cinnamon

Snack:

• 1 slice Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel bread
• 1 T Better n PB

Dinner:

• 4 oz. baked chicken breast
• 1 c. steamed broccoli
• Yellow mustard

Snack:

• White Chocolate Raspberry Quest bar

Evening Dessert Fantasmic Creation:

• 1 PINT Arctic Zero Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream
• 1 scoop chocolate whey protein mixed with unsweetened almond milk and Walden Farms pancake syrup
• 2 T PB2 mixed with almond milk and pancake syrup
• 1 Quest PB cup
• 1/4 c. raw unsalted almonds

I was definitely well fed today, and usually on leg days, I want to eat everything in the entire kitchen!  I'm taking that as a good sign that I'm finally feeding my body right!
Here is the leg workout for the day:

• Narrow Stance Barbell Squats: 2 light sets of 15, 2 heavier sets to failure
• Narrow Stance Leg Press: 4 sets of 8
• Barbell Step ups: 4 sets of 8
• Walking Barbell Double Lunges (Step-down-up-down): 3 sets of 20
• Single Leg Barbell Squat: 4 sets of 8
• Seated Calf Raises: 3 sets of 20, last set to failure
• Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets of 20, last set to failure
• Leg Extensions: 3 sets of 10, last set to failure

I upped all my weights today and felt awesome after burning over 400 calories just by lifting.  I did absolutely no cardio today!  I may, however, have gotten a few odd looks for wearing one of my favorite t-shirts to the gym, but I was repping my favorite drink ever: Arizona Green Tea!!

Overall today felt awesome!  I loved being able to eat more food.  It actually made me think that I could do this without counting and tracking every little thing.  I also felt pretty lean today, despite eating more than I've ever eaten while dieting!

I am not one of those girls that wants to be stick thin.  I want some muscle, and I want to keep my booty!  I can't wait to see the changes the next 6 weeks will bring.  It is a slow process, but it is just that: a process!
