Day 1 for T - 21DSD

My breakfast:

Black coffee with two eggs, sliced fresh mushrooms and chopped chives

Feeling ok. Not deprived. Full and happy so far.

I could go with some creamer in my coffee, though. And I just found out that Week 1 allows FULL FAT dairy. So tomorrow...heavy cream in the coffee!

(Will update snacks and other meals later in the day.)

I definitely need to incorporate some kind of exercise. I have a treadmill and elliptical that I can use. I went to bed early last night and still couldn't get up before 6am. If I'm going to workout, I need to do it in the morning before the kids wake up. I must try harder tomorrow! I can find time to do things that I feel are important. So I just need to make this a priority.

*Update*

Ok, so much for the workout priority. It's 10:23pm and I just went to bed. I chose to watch my DVR shows over going to bed early so I can get up early and walk on the treadmill.I clearly have issues.

Anyhow...The food.

I had a handful of smoked almonds for a mid-morning snack. Yipee. 

For lunch I had 3 boiled eggs and couscous. Big boo boo! I won't bore you with the quinoa mixup...which I can have. But didn't. The couscous was delicious! But a no-no.

No afternoon snack.

Almost ate a pouch of gummies with the boys. I felt so sad...like I was betrayed somehow.

Dinner...

While I made the boys' fav (cut up hot dogs in mac & cheese), 

I made my own little dinner...

1 diced chicken breast in a pan with oil, a cup of frozen spinach, 2 large sliced mushrooms, 5 chopped chives and lots of garlic and pepper. Served with a romaine salad with vinegar and oil dressing and a green apple that I later sprinkled with cinnamon. Filling and yummy!

After the guys were asleep, I went to the pantry looking for a snack.

Nothing.

Wait! All natural peanut butter!

Dang. Sugar is the 3rd ingredient.

There's the mint fudge Oreos.

And the vanilla wafer cookies.

And wheat thins.

And pretzels.

Mmmm...chips and salsa.

Noooo!

I ran to the fridge. Boiled egg? UGH...no.

Aha! I grabbed a handful of roast beef and shoved it in my mouth.

Yes...now I'm full again.

And then I realized what little heavy cream I had left, I used in the mac & cheese since I ran out of milk. So no cream in my coffee tomorrow.

I may cry myself to sleep.

Can I use powder creamer? First ingredient...corn syrup.

Seriously?

Praying for a better food day tomorrow.

And that I can live another day without gum.
