It's Day 1 of my Food Foto Challenge. Here goes nothing.
Breakfast:
 |
| 100-calorie grits with splenda and a diet coke (I know - I'm trying to quit the diet coke.). |
Lunch:
 |
| Grilled Chicken Salad |
 |
| Dressing on the side |
 |
| Skipped my afternoon diet coke and opted for water. |
 |
| Gum instead of chocolate :( |
 |
| A little protein before working out |
Dinner:
 |
| Spaghetti made with Laura's Lean Beef (keepin' it healthy) |
 |
| Dessert ... again, no chocolate |
Well, it didn't kill me. We'll see how tomorrow goes ...
Can I offer some help?
ReplyDeleteI'm a diet dr. pepper addict - its crazy b/c I never drank soft drinks prior to children... If I have one I would never have more than 1 a day. All of a sudden it hit me like a light bulb - I am depending on this soda for energy and that little pick me up instead of depending on the Lord! I suddenly felt so convicted! When I did the "Believing God" study for the first time- she ask you to give something up for the stint of the book - so I gave up Diet Dr.Pepper - cold turkey - it was the best thing I ever did... I do on occasion have it, but its like a drug to me - once I have it one day I am craving it the next.
Heres some of what we do:
Breakfast - instead of grits eat oatmeal. Buy the quick quaker oats - 1 to 2 ratio for water and oats - you can microwave for 30 seconds or do on the stove (when it boils take it off) - Chris puts salt and frozen blueberries in his and Colton and I have salt, frozen bb, and a little bit of PURE maple syrup. We also have eggs.... were egg addicts too!
Before working out - eat a handful of raisins... big boost.
Dinner - if we have spaghetti, we skip the pasta or we do spaghetti squash - yummy!
Snack - brown rice cake w/ peanut butter (all natural smuckers brand), cinnamon, and sometimes we will treat ourselves w/ a little honey on it, but if you can eat it w/out it is better.
We have thrown out most packaged bars w/ the exception of Lara Bars (they have no added sugars... usually only 3 ingredients).
Just wanted to offer some food for thought!
I think this is a great idea though - it almost makes you feel like you have to be more accountable for what you are eating! We're doing something similar w/ what were spending - keeping track of every penny!
Good job Rian
ReplyDeleteHi Summer! I actually switch up my breakfast all the time. I rotate between grits, oatmeal and something random. The nutritional values of the grits I eat are actually healthier than the oatmeal. Love the other snack ideas though. I'm always looking for way to change up the menu.
