Day 1: Success!

Based on the first day picture, I'd say the diet is going pretty well, wouldn't you?

All kidding aside, Amy covered the early morning. I've realized that bedtime probably needs to be moved up to 6:30 pm for me to get the amount of rest I need. Just kidding. But seriously, 4:50 am is just.... WOW.... early.

So, as with all normal adult coversations, I am going to tell what I ate today:

Morning: 1 large banana cut in half longways with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top (thanks to momma Barbi for that brilliant idea- lifechanging). I also drank a coffee- not great, but there are worse things.

Afternoon: vegetable soup, 1 dinner roll, salad with italian dressing, and 2 chocolate chip cookies provided by our reading specialist at school today. Yes, the cookies are a no-no, but I checked weightwatchers to make sure it wouldn't mess me up, and it checked out good! I also drank a Special K protein shake (chocolate) and I must say it was great. It curbed hunger and also gave me a little something to appeal to my sweet tooth.

Evening: I plan to eat one of my SmartOnes 5 point meals- Cheese ravioli anyone?

All of this added up to be 5 points over my daily points total. However, there is also a weekly bank of 49 flex points that can be applied to times when I go over. Weight loss jargon interpretation? Day 1 was a success.

*One major note: I have stopped drinking carbonated beverages for the time being. I'm not religiously opposed to it. I just despise acne and those silly sodas seem to trigger it.

Thanks to all our sweet friends who are commenting and texting us throughout the day. Your encouragement means so much! It is also such a blessing to know that this is motivating others to get healthy too! Keep it up!

For His glory,
K
