TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE REST OF MY LIFE. THE LIFE THAT I AM GOING TO LEARN TO LIVE AGAIN!


Sunday 1-1-06

8:15 Breakfast: 1 serving cottage cheese (protein), 6 oz low fat milk (protein), peanut butter (protein and fat) on 2 slices WW low cal toast and 1/2 a banana. Coffee with splenda

11:15: Snack I am 1 lb into the 300 calorie snack alottment so here goes for now 1 90 calorie cottage cheese pack, 2- 100 calorie wheat thins for total of 290 calories for snack. Gotta get my butt in gear for that water!!!

2:15: Lunch WW Smart One meal (cause it was quick and simple and in the freezer ) It only had 180 calories, and not alot of protein so I am adding 1/2 cup black eye peas for more protein, it had small taters in it for carbs. Also, the added 1/2 cup of peas only added 100 calories for this meal to have only 280 calories to it so I am going to add 1 banana to it to make it closer to 400 calories. Plus 20 oz's of water to go along with it. The WW meal had fat in it so I am not adding any more because of the meal and the peas. YAY! I was able to hold out until 2:15 like I was suppose too!

5:15 dinner Steam trout with mixed veggies, 1/4th cup rice and water to drink. Fat TBD!

*I don't like eating dinner so late so I switch my last snack and dinner around

8:15: Snack: POPCORN!! YUMMY! I am a popcorn fanatic!


TOTAL Water today: 80 ounces so far with 20 more to go today!!

Exercise:

Ok I still have 1 hour before I can eat lunch and I am starving! UGH! I know how the first 3 days or so are the hardest but I know I can do this!!!! I am sitting here drinking a Fruit2o and I am heading to the shower. I can do this I can do this!!

You can do it!!!! I bet ya did it!!!!

Nice Laurie! Well done - I find that if I have a cup of tea when I feel hungry it really helps tide me over - they say that a warm beverage makes one feel more satiated... Just a thought.

Good work.

I know the green tea is awsome but I also know how this first few days can be **** to get through but you know, you gotta start some place!

You can do it! The tea idea is a great one!

8:30: Breakfast 1 single serve cottage cheese, 6 oz milk, 1 egg, 1 bowl of oatmeal, 1 small banana. My milk is 2% so I am not adding any additional fat such as the flax caps.

11:30: Snack rice cake and some triscuts

2:30: Lunch We were on the go and couldn't stop for a full lunch but I grab something to keep my metabolism going and it was popcorn without butter and a vanilla latte with skim milk. Could have been worse!

5:30: 3 oz ham with roasted garlic potatoes and butternut squash. Water to drink

8:30: 1 SF chocolate pudding (60 cals) and some popcorn. (See a trend with the popcorn yet?!? LOL! )


TOTAL WATER: 80 oz's and peeing every second!

You can do it! Today has been really tough for me too. Just remember it really does get easier! You are doing awesome!

It's easier for me knowing we are all in this together. Not that I want you guys to be suffering, but more like we've got something heavy to push and we're all pushing together.

Yes indeedy - misery DOES love company! LOL!

Hey Laurie...You are going to do well!!!

You really have variety for breakfast that is great. me, it's cereal with fruit or oatmeal with fruit, or eggs toast and fruit...not really much variety. half the time I dont' get to my fruit till snack time. (yes, I know that is defeating the purpose of the diet )

Tell, me, how did you make your squash for dinner? or did you just bake it?
I am looking for squash dishes...I want to try it. Cant wait to see what you eat tomorrow...keep it goin!!

I took one of the big butternut squashes cut it in 1/2 long ways, cleaned out the seeds, then took a fork and made some slits down the middle (keeps it from drying out) then I sprinkles some Molly McButter on top of it and baked it for about 45 mins on 375. After it was finished baking I scooped some out of the *shell* and mixed alittle more Molly McButter into it along with alittle cinnamon and YUMMY! Since cinnamon is free, the cinnamon gives it that kind of a sweet potato taste. Its really good!
