Total Loss to Date - 1.7 lbs
Not a bad start - down 1.7 lbs including new years eve and new years day, notoriously rough days, but i could probably have done better yesterday, as Bruce said in his comment. Let's be real, it was VERY good for me on New Year's Day, but still i can do better. And I will.
Breakfast - 1.5 egg whites + 1 whole egg + 2 small sausage patties. (These things are REALLY small) and a seltzer.
***IMPORTANT NOTE: USUALLY, THIS IS THE MEAL THAT I STOP FOR A DONUT, A BUTTERED BAGEL, AND A RED BULL AT DUNKIN DONUTS. IF I CAN KEEP AWAY FROM THAT ALONE, IT WILL DRASTICALLY CHANGE MY DAILY WEIGH-INS.
Lunch - Healthy Choice frozen dinner - Classic Chicken and Noodles + a seltzer
Time for the frequent small meals:
Snacks - 1pm - half sandwich - reduced fat peanut butter and light wheat bread.
2pm - some goldfish
4:30 - some more goldfish (probably a few too many)
7:30 - a handful of peanuts
8:15 - a slice of pepperoni
Dinner - Grilled Chicken (george foreman grilled) + steamed carrots and broccoli + Bottle of spring water. Also a small portion of cous cous (about 1/2 a "serving" as listed on the box.) used a little bbq sauce and a little hot sauce on the chicken but nothing like my old school heaping helpings of ketchup that would feel the entire brady bunch. This meal looks HUGE, but notice the veggies pushing everything else off the plate. :-)
Also drinking more water. ONly had 2-3 bottles today at school, plus 2 seltzers, and i'll have another water or 2 tonight. I'll need my water later on when i want to pick at the snacks!
Big props to Kristyn for braving the supermarket today and picking up some good stuff for us for the next few day. Tomorrow should be a nice day of salads, steaks, veggies, and likely the same breakfast as today. I'm worried about Saturday - we are going to NYC for a broadway show, dinner and drinks. This will be my first time going "OUT" for dinner. Need to remember to eat well and not feel like i have to "get something awesome" because its costing money!
Time for the daily "WHAT WOULD JOE HAVE DONE" session
- Once again, i did not stop at Dunkin for breakfast. THat is a huge thing for me.
- For lunch, when i don't bring a lunch to school, i generally get 3-4 chicken finger + either a slice of pizza or big cup of mac & cheese. I'll follow that up with 2-3 chocolate chip cookies. (C'mon now, we ALL know that school cafeteria always KILL on the chocolate chip cookies!)
- On the way home, i wanted to stop at 7-11 and grab a snack and slurpee, but i did not. I know this sounds like a lot, but its really legit stuff i would do almost daily at times. I had been good in December with the 7-11 runs, but a typical 7-11 run would include a medium slurpee and 3-4 food items (Varying between taquitos, Jamaican Beef Patties, BIg Cups, horrible pizza slices when they were fresh, chicken tenders, brownie, glazed donuts) And this was my "pre-dinner snack" usually. SOOOO, once again, a good eating day.
FYI - Karen - I did weigh my chicken :-)
Time to watch the Sopranos!
