I'm currently 40 days in and still going strong. I made sure to drink lots of water today (so far 3 down and still have a bottle here in front of me). I worked all day, and work days are a little harder for me because I get bored and have a hard time spacing out my meals the way I'd like to. But I really tried this time and although I ate more often than every 3-4 hours, I managed to make it work. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-1 plain packet oatmeal with 1/2 a banana (sliced) and a few blueberries on top
*putting the banana in before heating the oatmeal makes this so delicious...the blueberries don't add much but the bananas sure do!
Snack:
-1 (pack of 2) trader Joe's granola bars
*these are like the crunchy nature valley granola bars in the shiny green wrapper. just sweet enough too.
Lunch:
-1 balsamic/tomato glazed chicken breast with 1c couscous (leftover from last night)
*glad i had this already made!
Snack:
-1 sugar free pudding cup
-1 apple
*could have done without the apple, but, you know, it was just....there.
Dinner:
-1 trader joe's frozen margharita pizza
*this.was.amazing. It was especially good for a number of reasons. 1) instead of regular pizza dough the crust is buttery, chewy, flaky pastry puff dough. Haven't tasted butter in a while haha. 2) Instead of fake tomato sauce or little unidentifiable chunks of veggies there were whole round slices of tomato and big flavorful basil leaves on this pizza. 3) instead of globs of oil and cheese the cheese was baked into the crust, forming a crispy layer on the dough. Loved this and can't wait to get more!
Snack:
-2 pieces dark chocolate caramel wedges
-1 mug of hot green tea
*gotta love the chocolate!
Feeling wonderful, looking better, I'm finally past the hardest stage of this journey and now that I'm starting to see results I can't see why I would ever want to STOP doing this! I'm enjoying the gym immensely and I'm in a really positive place right now. For the first time instead of expecting myself to give up at some point, I can't picture myself failing. This whole experience is great. Don't get me wrong there are still tough times, but I've learned to go easy on myself and that I'm not superhuman (if I was I wouldn't be in this situation now would I?) Can't wait for spin class tomorrow. Our wednesday night instructor is awesome and plays great music so I know it'll be equally fun and challenging. Also I'm getting my hair done and that always makes me feel good! Tomorrow will be an awesome day :-)
