Day 3

Day 3! Today was our "Cheat Meal" day...and we just got back from dinner, but I'll get to that later. Today we had something new for breakfast. Trying to occasionally switch things up so we don't burn out on the same things every day.

• 2 egg whites with onions
• 1 slice of turkey bacon
• 1 slice of whole grain toast, with less than 1tsp. of smart butter spread on, and a little bit of cinnamon. 
• Green tea
• water

It was good, We've been discussing how we haven't felt like we have much energy lately, and maybe the toast would give us a little kick. For me, it didn't. Maybe because I was worn out from working all night, and then waking up at 5:45. I tried to nap after and couldn't ever go to sleep. I guess my body was fueled up and was saying something different than my brain was thinking. I SHOULD have gotten up and moved around, but I let the lazy Lindsey take over and chill till I had to get ready to go to work. I had my snack before I left for work, oatmeal with mixed berries and cinnamon. Then headed to work.

The working while dieting thing has been stressing me a tad bit. I'm always worried that I wont be able to get to my food in time, esp when working days when the lunch rush hits. I ended up getting to eat it right on time today! Good thing too b/c i was starving. I had

• 4 oz. grilled chicken
• 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup of broccoli, green peppers, and onions
• feta cheese
• cherry tomatoes 
• 2 tsp of raspberry vinegerette 

I can't express how much I LOVE my lunch salads!! I Look forward to it, its a highlight of my day!
Had 1/2 cup of kashi cereal at 4 with mixed berries in it. It's also yummy. So now to dinner....
Now I had great intentions. I ordered red fish and wild rice. I even made the waitress throw the bread away after she brought the food out. So I did good on that part, but it had a creole sauce on top of the fish. with crawfish, and shrimp which are not bad for me, and I didn't get much of the sauce on my fish while eating it. But I still over did my portion. And I feel guilty about it. Really guilty about it. Even more guilty about it when I expressed to Jason after we were home how I feel like I have more energy now than I have all day, and he replied b/c I over ate...sad face. Oh well....Tomorrows another day and I am OFF from work so I will do some cardio and make up for it.

I'm still loving this diet so far, I haven't missed any of my old go to foods, and after dinner tonight we talked about how we should have just eaten a chicken salad and splurged with ranch dressing. So I think I'm in a great frame of mine to continue on and work out the kinks quickly. I want to see some pounds shed by the end of the week.
