Don't get me wrong, I have been eating very healthily on WW. But I wanted to have tons of variety so as to not get bored easily on the challenge. Apples and clementines are fine when mixed in there with pretzels and popcorn...but take away my processed snacks and I need to replace them with SOMETHING! Mangoes, strawberries, pistachios and almonds will hopefully keep me from biting people's heads off, lol!!
Now to figure out how I get my chocolate fix!!
Much of my preparation included bagging up my vitamins and supplements for the 1st phase of the challenge. So I have baggies labeled days 1-10 for both myself and my husband (Yay!!! I got him on board!!). This way we just work from one bag each day and don't need to think too much about it all.
I drank my Spark, a vitamin-laden dose of rocket fuel :-). It has the same caffeine as a cup of coffee but it makes you feel like you could take on the world!! My toothbrush was jet propelled today!
After showering and waking the kids I had my first fiber drink...YUMMMM (insert sarcastic grin here). Actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I drank it with a wide straw and got it down in two sucks. I just had to close my eyes at one point because I kept thinking that the bits of fiber looked an awful lot like the packages of dehydrated sea monkeys we had as kids, hahahahahaha! That was as close to a pet as we ever got :-)
I ate my breakfast, 2 eggs scrambled with 1/4 cup of whites and some chopped spinach. I did this in the car while driving to my carpool. I wouldn't recommend that though! I've been sipping on water all morning. I just ate some snap peas as a snack.
For lunch I'm having a salad of mixed greens and tuna (1 can) made with olive oil mayo (1 T) and some dill. I eat that pretty regularly on WW so it should be much different today.
For dinner, I'm making a chicken fajita bake recipe that someone had posted on Facebook. I adapted it to make it simpler for me. Here's the basic idea...
1.5 lbs of chicken, cut into strips
3 peppers, cut into strips (I'm using red, yellow and orange)
2 medium onions, sliced
1 can (15 oz) of petite diced tomatoes
1/2 packet of low sodium taco or fajita seasoning...or make your own seasoning
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place veggies and chicken in the pan. Toss with the seasonings and water. Bake for 20-25 minutes till chicken is cooked and veggies are cooked but still crunchy.
I'm eating this in a whole wheat tortilla. My husband will have his without because he's eating his complex carb at lunch today. Here's a picture from FB...not mine but of someone else who made it
I'm sure it'll be delicious! Other snacks for the day include strawberries, rotisserie chicken without the skin and some almonds.
My total WW points for the day: 31
My usual is 32 so not bad at all! And I'm on target with the 24 Day Challenge guidelines. Let's see how this all pans out!!
I took my measurements last night and weighed myself this morning. The following numbers and corresponding before pictures could prove frightening for some. If you have small children near your computer screen you may want to cover their eyes, lol!!
Day 1------
Weight: 210 lbs.
Dress Size: 16 (sometimes 16W, sometimes not)
Waist: 42.5 in.
Hips: 50 in. (AHHHHHHHH!!!!)
Neck: 14 in.
Thigh: 35.5 in.
Upper Arm: 15.5 in.
Calf: 17.5 in
Chest: 42.5 in. (please God, don't make me lose it all here, lol!)
Shoulders: 42.5 in.
Forearm: 11 in.
Trust me...I look much better in less form-fitting clothing!!! But for the experiment's sake I took pictures in my yoga pants and a tank top. I would never, NEVER, go anywhere in that outfit. Not yet at least. Maybe 23 days from now? We shall see...
