Getting Serious about the Plan

Yesterday was a snaking day, not too good, so today I decided to get serious about this challenge. It always helps when I actually physically keep track of what I eat. This is the first day I printed out a page that I have used in the past to keep track of what I eat and I have had a lot more success today. 

Since it was Saturday, I talked my husband into walking with me. During our walk we started a detailed conversation, it made us forget about walking so we ended up walking 3 miles without even realizing it. Where I live, the weather is great all year around, we live in front of a gorgeous park and so we have access to a great walking path everyday. 

I also started a planking challenge with my kids this week. I make the official group today and I am giving them 30 days to plank 5 minutes, there are prizes. I announced the group last week so I already began. I am up to 1 minute 15 seconds. I am also doing a squat challenge with my daughter in-law. Going to have some good looking thighs.

As usual I had oatmeal for breakfast and soup and an egg sandwich for lunch. For dinner I made my own version of vegetarian fajitas. I found some pretty yummy 85 calorie whole wheat tortillas at the supermarket (1.5 points). I sauted (with 1/2 tsp olive oil, a bit of water, and a bullion cube) bell peppers and onions and I made salsa with 1 tomato, 1 onion, and some chopped cilantro. I had a slice of avocado (my husband ate the rest) and a sprinkle of cheese (probably 1 tsp). It was a lovely dinner for under 3 points. 


Since I am trying to make up for a not-so-good day yesterday, I am only having a sugar free candy and some sugar free apple cider drink (15 calories). 



A few hours after eating I was ravenous and so I made a 2 egg white omelette with the leftover bell peppers and onions and the salsa. With a sprinkle of cheese it was delish! And very satisfying and filling. Ready for bed now, no more snacking :)
