Starting Weight: X-4lbs. Typical first day. I always "lose" 4-5 pounds the first day when I make the change. The trick is keeping it up when I'm only losing 4-5 pounds a month. That's when it gets hard. But for now, the jump start was solid.
Sorry no photos today - didn't get a chance to add them in yet and I didn't want to delay my post, or else it will NEVER get put up.
Today, I felt REALLY good.
Now I know that this is not earth-shattering news. Eat well, feel better. It's pretty obvious. BUT for some reason, every time I actually try it, I am almost surprised. You see, when I am eating poorly for awhile, it's really bad. It gets to a point where I forget what it feels like to feel good. So when it happens, it usually feels so different that I am pumped and motivated, at least for a little while. So today, I had some great energy. And to be honest, yesterday was not even a "Great" 1st day. It was a moderately decent day. But today: will be even better. HEre we go;
Breakfast: I had my breakfast sandwich. Turkey sausage, 1 egg, 1 egg white scrambled on a toasted everything bagel thin. (These bagel thins are only 110 calories and MUCH lower on the carbs. Killer stuff. I had a diet sprite with that. (300ish calories)
SOOOOO, I did NOT go to the deli. I did not get a massive bagel with extra butter. ANd most importantly, I did NOT get a Red Bull. I had fallen in love with the new bagel shop called "Griddle This" in Dumont. Great place. Awesome staff, great bagels and they had Diet Sprite. I was pumped. Then they stopped having it. I was very sad. BUT now it does not matter cuz I'm off the deli for awhile. I may treat myself to a good bagel once a week, but I have not decided yet. Let's see how far I can go without. Adding the pepper to my breakfast sandwich actually really helps a lot. Makes it taste more unhealthy.
Lunch: For lunch, I had my 1st leftover container that I made yesterday. Went for the BBQ chicken. This was accompanied by a baked potato w/ketchup and some corn. I was already half a gallon of water in, so I treated myself to another Diet Sprite. Delicious lunch.
Snack: When I got home, I had a whole fruit frozen bar (Strawberry) and 2 slices of yellow American cheese. Such an improvement from my usual taquito, Jamaican beef patty and/or orange chicken skewer from 7-11. I almost accidentally stopped at the ol 'Sev twice on my drive today, just out of habit. But then I realized that I was an idiot and kept driving. Success!
Dinner: Kristyn cooked tonight. She made chicken stir fry with peppers, onions and brown rice. Ok, as I write this, she is actually cooking. So I'm sort of pre-blogging. She just said it is "ready to rock" so I'm gonna go for now. Will be back later to tell you about the amazing meal that I'm about to eat.
<insert Jeopardy Theme music>
It was amazing!!!! Seasoned with Coconut Aminos - replacement for soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. So good! And I made my plate, ate it, and stopped there. Lots of leftovers, but will save them for later! What a great meal. Red and orange peppers, onions, brown rice and grilled chicken. Yum!!!!
Snack: Had 2 of those sugar cookies from last night. 80 calories. I'll live. :-)
OK - it's Yankee time! I made a bold prediction that Aaron Judge was gonna go OFF this series and the Yankees would crush the Rays. We'll see how that goes.
I had 2 italian ices during the game. They were 100 calories each, and I did not eat after 9pm. :-)
