Day 2

Well, I know right NOW it's technically day 3, but I didn't get a chance to post yesterday.

Day 2 went pretty well. At work on Tuesdays and Thursdays they have someone come and we do Yogilates (a combo of yoga and pilates) for just under an hour. Meals went great...well, except for dinner. I ended up with all my points, but it was a struggle. Just believe me when I tell you that straight up olive oil with salt and pepper does not make a good salad dressing. I saved my 100 calories for our niece Alissa's first birthday party. And Remy just shared a few bites of his pie and ice cream with me.

The water...the water yesterday was also torture for some reason. So this is how I have my 3 liters divided: I figure if I can get at least 1 liter down before lunch and 1 before I leave work, that leaves one to be had at home. Day 1 I barely finished my first liter as I walked into the break room for lunch. Liter 2 I think I finished on my way home from work, and liter 3 I managed okay only because I was exercising.
Day 2 I had my first liter down an hour before lunch, my second liter I think I finished right before I left work, maybe on my my way home. But the last liter, oh that last liter...water torture. I forgot to bring it with me to Alissa's party and it took me until right before I went to bed at 10:30 to finally suck down the rest of it. I told Remy I think I'm going to develop an aversion to water.

BUT...

Today is day 3 and I would like to declare to you all that I finished my first liter of water at 10:33 this morning! That's 2 1/2 hours before I go to lunch! Whoop!

I think I'll start sharing a few of the things we eat for our meals, in case any of you out there are interested in Game On and can't figure out what to eat. Today, I shall share our yummy breakfast. It's super quick, easy and YUMMY!

It shall be called The Breakfast Sandwich. (clever I know)

Here's what you need:
Oroweat Whole Wheat Sandwhich Thins (100 calories)
1 Large Egg (~72 calories)
1 Piece Turkey Bacon (~35 calories)
Alfalfa Sprouts (you can have as much as you want!)

That's it! Just toast the bread (they're thin so it's important to not over toast or you'll be eating crackers), put the egg on a small round saucer or in a round container of some sort, sprinkle with pepper and cook for about a minute or so. Heat up the bacon for about 30 seconds then put it all together and add as many sprouts as you want!

Here's how it breaks down. The bread of course is your serving of carbs, the egg and bacon are sharing the portion of protein, the egg yolk is the healthy fat and the sprouts are a bonus (you can have as many green veggies with each meal as you want, but you must eat at least 2 portions of veggies with at least 2 meals per day).

Now, this game isn't necessarily about counting calories. I'm learning that if you follow the portion size of each item then you should be getting , but if you aren't losing then they recommend you should start. Amanda and are counting just so we know what we're eating. So I included the calorie count as well.


And I would like to say that I'm already down one pound from Monday! Here's to a great day 3!
