Apron Revolution February Challenge

I decided to join the challenge this month at the Apron Revolution. It's a diet and exercise challenge using the Better Homes and Gardens Diet Book and Jack Lalane exercises! Go to the Diet and Exercise page to see the info. I only just ordered the book yesterday so have started today based on the menus posted on the site. I'm going to have to be doing a lot of modifying to omit the meat, but veggie meats tend to have fewer calories anyway. Having such a large breakfast definitely kept hunger away during the morning though. It's just past 1:00 and I'm finally hungry and sitting down to lunch

Today's menu was scheduled to be:
BREAKFAST
stewed prunes (8)
shirred egg (1)
bacon (2)
buttered muffin (1)
skim milk (1 cup)

LUNCH
Sandwich of:
whole wheat bread (2 slices)
American cheese (1oz)
Sliced tomato (1 med)
Tossed green salad (1 cup)
Rosy dressing (1 T)
Lemon sherbet (1/3 cup)
skim milk (1 cup)

DINNER
Roast veal (3 oz)
Whole kernel corn (1/2 cup)
cauliflower (1/2 cup)
salad of grapefruit and orange (1/2 each) on lettuce
strawberry gelatin (1/2 cup)
coffee

The actual meals are:
BREAKFAST
grapefruit (1/2)
shirred egg (1)
Smart bacon (2)
buttered whole wheat muffin (1)
tea with soy milk (1/3 cup soymilk)

LUNCH
Sandwich of:
whole wheat English muffin(2 slices)
cheddar cheese (1oz)
raw spinach (1/4 cup)
mustard
Tossed green salad (spinach, carrot, celery) (1 cup)
Blue cheese dressing packet from the cafeteria (1.5 oz)
water

DINNER
TBA

With luck I bang those exercises out when I get home too!
