I've decided to weigh myself on Sundays for a couple of reasons.  First, it's exactly one week from the date that I started, so it's naturally the best day to track results, week after week.  Secondly, by weighing in on Sunday, it will set the tone and help with motivation and goals for the remainder of the week. I cheated a bit this week and weighed myself on Thurday night.  I was down 4 lbs at that point!  Yay for first week and loosing a ton of water weight.  I also weighed myself this evening and I was down an additional 3 lbs.  So that's 7 lbs for the week.  I'm proud of myself for being sucessful this week but I have a long way to go and would like to improve the quality of food that I'm eating.  Fast food has to be eliminated almost completely.  Saturday was just out of control. 

Today's meals:
Breakfast: Cereal w/Almond Milk (140)
Lunch: Chicken Teriyaki w/rice (350), Salad (100)
Dinner:
Snack: Greek Yogurt (120), 20 Almonds (150)

My weightloss goal for this week is 2 lbs. 

Bring it on, week!

Horrible food day.  Sigh.  I'm feeling the urge not to post what I ate yesterday because I promised to journal each day, I have to do it.  We left the house around 10am and didn't return until 4pm, so we at both breakfast and lunch on the road and guess where we went?  For both meals?  McDonald's.  Yes we did and I was totally disgusted. 

Breakfast: Egg McMuffin sans Ham (270), small orange juice (150)
Lunch: McDouble without cheese (300)
Dinner: Green Monster Smoothie (370) - I needed something to balance the crap!

I'm disappointed by this day, but I definitely saw myself making better choices when faced with a fast food menu.  I ordered items that I had never ordered before and omitted (cheese, ham) items that I knew would add additional calories.

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Coffee with nonfat milk (65), 1/2 of a breakfast bar (60)
Lunch: Other half of the thai food I ate the day before (405)
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken (150), Pirate Bootie (130)
Snack: 1 dark chocolate sea salt caramel (75) - worth it, yummy!

I'm thinking of making a quinoa with cinnamon apple recipe tonight...hmmmm, I think I will.  I can then reheat it for breakfast in the AM.  I pinned it here. Go now and then come back, I'll wait. 

Okay, doesn't that look soooo good?  I really think I'm going to make it tonight and I'll report back if it's good.
