First Loss

I woke up knowing that today would be a glorious day no matter what I did. Today was scales day and I was looking forward to seeing how well my plan was working. I started the day with fish, veggies, and some celery with peanut butter. Weird breakfast you say? Not at all. In fact, if you really think about it if you ate a meal like at 7am it would keep you full until 11am when you can eat again. Granted my day started at 1pm...LOL but I'd rock this after working a night and not think much about it being early morning. Never mind that the food is considered a 'dinner' meal, it actually made me feel good to start my day this healthy.

Took  my sister to The Rack for her birthday and had a cooked scallop sushi roll and a martini with olives. Yummy lunch I'd say. I'm feeling very powerful. I am in training for something, like I have a major accomplishment coming up just around the corner....my healthy lifestyle!!!

At 5:25 I showed up for the WW meeting. Lots of people there. We had a great discussion and lots of feedback on what's a healthy plate for eating. This simply means that eating equal portion sizes (a portion is approx. the palm of my hand) of fruits, veggies, protein and whole grains at my meals. This way my body is getting everything it needs to work until the next meal time.

My sister wanted to go to the movies since we were celebrating her special day. Although she busted out with popcorn and a soda I had a water. I wasn't even tempted by the butter smell like I would have been in the past. I just decided that later I'd treat myself. Dinner was  great, I managed to eat a chicken burger (actually pretty good) with my usual mini-salad on bread and some berries after. I topped off the night with a Menchie yogurt cup, no waffle cone this time.

So what's my first loss amount to you ask? 1.2lbs!! That's great and means that I'm on target to getting to my goal as planned! Let's see how I manage this weekend coming up, as I am working three nights in a row and I get bored and want to eat. Oh, I also need a larger lunch bag to take more veggie snacks with me.
