Day two down! Yesterday’s meals were 10 times better than Monday’s meals! I started off yesterday morning with Blueberry muffins which weren’t the greatest, but they were good. It was enough to fill me up for a while. I also had my fruit and dairy. YUM! I decided when I got to work that I’d try the Green Tea Mandarin and Mango flavor To Go by Lipton in my water for the morning, and that was actually VERY good. It tastes a little bit like Tang, but not as sweet. I found that it took the edge off of my grumbling stomach for a bit. I didn’t have to munch on the carrots between breakfast and lunch, so that’s not a bad thing. It may be too that I was kept pretty busy at work, and didn’t really have time to munch on the carrots. I don’t think people on the other end of the phone would appreciate a nice loud CRUNCH in their ears.
Lunch was REALLY good. I had the Veggie Beef Stew and it was GREAT! I didn’t even have to add salt to it at all. That was also very filling and adding to it the dairy and the fruit that I have to have with it, made it feel even more filling. I didn’t have to add water to this one, so I didn’t have a chance to mess it up. (Thank Goodness!) This meal allowed me to last a little longer for my snack. I didn’t eat my snack till around 4. (This makes me sound like such a kid, but I guess that’s how it has to be)
Snack was Cottage Cheese with Grape Juice (I can supplement juice for fruit as long as it’s within the requirements). Since I didn’t have my extra carb for breakfast, I chose to have my carb with my snack. I had two whole wheat crackers to go with the cottage cheese, and it was pretty tasty.
Keep in mind that during the day, I’ve got a bottle of water (which equals two servings of water) constantly going on my desk. I’ve come to the realization that I’ll probably lose more weight just by getting up and walking to the ladies room from consuming so much water! I felt like every hour I was getting up. I don’t mind getting away from my desk, but geesh! It’s for the greater good, so I’m not complaining. Haha.
Dinner last night was fantastic! I had Chili. I put some lettuce in a bowl and heated the chili up in the microwave. I then poured the chili on top of the lettuce and had a salad. It made it feel like there was more to it. I was very pleased with it. Definitely one to do over. I also had the BEST fresh green beans I’ve had in a LONG time. They were yummy to say the least!
For desert, I decided to try the White Cheddar Soy Chips. I had heard mixed things about these Soy Chips, but I decided not to form an opinion about them until after I tried. I think that’s the best way to do it. I can freak myself out over what everyone else who have tried the foods has to say about what they don’t like. But anyway, the soy chips were great! The perfect amount of crunch and just the right amount of flavor. I loved them.
I did get the munchies last night around 9:30ish. I was craving something crunchy again. So I went to the fridge, and TADA… I pulled out the carrots and munched on the carrots. I was so proud of myself, especially because there were quite a few other things there that I could have munched on and didn’t. I didn’t even have a desire to! I was satisfied with carrots. I wasn’t hungry, so I knew that it wasn’t that, it was just the want to crunch on something. I also drank an extra two servings of water adding the total servings to 10 for yesterdays water intake! WOOHOO... Bladder is floating.. :-)
This whole losing weight thing is a challenge, but I’m still excited about it. I’m going on my third day so far, and I’m not dreading it. I’m already making better choices than I would have a week ago. I’m doing this! I’m all in! All or nothing.
Thank you all for the support!! I’m so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. I love you all!!
