Day 1 of 84 - The Honeymoon Phase
We all know it! Those first few days or weeks of a healthy change are definitely the Honeymoon Phase. You're excited to get started, motivated to GET ER DONE, and are completely on board. I'm there. I took my measurements and weighed on my own scale last night when I got home. I packed my lunch, with several snacks because this is going to be a long day, and entered it all into MyFitnessPal.com already. I am definitely honeymooning!
Today is crazy! I left the house at 7:30 this morning and probably won't return until 7:30 tonight at which time I will be hounding my 4 year old to put on her pajamas, cajoling my 7 year old to do her homework... a bit faster, letting our seven month old lab in and out of the house a dozen times because he is very unsure if he wants to be outside enjoying the warmer weather or inside harassing the kids AND honoring my Poop Patrol badge with the newest addition to our family, Piper, the 10 week old Rat Terrier. Put work, a meeting for the school's Mardi Gras event, and a trip to physical therapy in there between leaving and returning and YES, I may have overpacked my lunch bag. But I wanted to be as prepared as possible!
What does the magic tote hold you may ask??
Breakfast: Special K Protein Breakfast Shake
Snack: Almonds
Lunch - Healthy Chicken Ranch Wrap (on Flat Out with a very tiny amount of ranch) with carrots and sugar snap peas
Snack - Apple & string cheese
Snack - Strawberry Greek Yogurt (either before my meeting or later tonight)
Dinner - 6" Subway Club with lots of veggies!
All of the above put me at a total of just over 1200 calories and that's actually less than I should be getting. Again... a sure sign of the Honeymoon Phase. Plus, this is day one without my foo foo coffee and I'm not feeling murderous. In a few weeks I'll be ravenous and struggling to stay at my calories and hopefully beating the caffeine withdrawals! But there you have it folks. Day one is planned and underway. I've even planned around meetings and appointments. Stay tuned for day two.... It will be just as crazy, but I've got this!!!
