Day 2

Day 2 has begun and we are rolling! Because I didn't have to work this morning, I couldn't decide if I wanted to get up early with Jason and eat breakfast together, or sleep in. Any other day, I would have chosen to sleep in, but since we are in this together and I want us to do the best at it, I got up. Before I got to the kitchen he had already started boiling water for our tea. This morning we had a feast for breakfast..

• 3 egg whites a piece ( he wasn't crazy about the eggs yesterday so he diced tomatoes to throw in with them, i took it a bit further and added green peppers and onions)
• 2 slices of turkey bacon
• 1 orange
• h2o & green tea

We both really liked it. And unlike yesterday we didn't even add sea salt. Which for myself is a miracle. I loooove salt. Anytime I ever had something sweet before it had to be followed by something salty. I have always had terrible eating habits. Its not that I didn't like fruit or vegetables, I just never made them available to myself.


While having breakfast Jason and I had an interesting conversation about our "cheat" meal tomorrow. We discussed what we wanted. We threw out some foods we would normally go for, So we talked about it.. "Hamburgers? No. Pizza? No. How about grilled chicken salad and we can have ranch dressing? Sounds good, but we don't need to ware ourselves out on chicken"...so We decided on either fish or filet mignon....wow. Funny how with only 2 days of actually caring about what we put into our bodies, the second we get a chance to go all out, we don't. And for that, I am proud of the both of us!!

I had oatmeal again for a snack today with green tea and lots and lots of water. I took a glass of water with me to bed, had one when I got up, had another throughout breakfast, had some more while I was waiting for the bank to open, grabbed a bottle out the door on the way to the bank, refilled it when I got back home. I already pee'd a lot, now its just ridiculous! But I know its good for me.

I'm about to start preparing our lunch. salad with grilled chicken. I'm really excited about all that flavor. I have never craved feta cheese, now I cant wait to eat it.
I will have to eat a snack before work, and prepare and take my dinner with me tonight at work.

I told myself I was not going to weigh in until I felt like I had lost an substantial amount, but I sneaked in and did it anyway. 2lbs. TWO POUNDS!!! It's not much, but it is super exciting to me. To have taken that chance of stepping on the scale after only a day, and seeing a result, no matter how small, it was a feeling of huge satisfaction, and motivation to keep it up.
