Week 1 Day 2

For all you "Day 1" junkies who proclaim today is the "first day of the rest of my life" every couple days after starting something new, you know Day 2 is a big deal.  I made it without cheating, without complaining (too much), and spent the entirety of my morning cooking and packing todays meals.  I also made a special, more indulgent breakfast for my friend who was with me so she wasnt forced into dieting with me.  Willpower!  My coworkers thought it was pretty funny that I was eating lettuce and shredded carrots out of a Ziploc bag for dinner yesterday.  My excitement for this diet and its results probably means that this week is the honeymoon phase.

Nom.

Also, for your info, the meals are timed as such: 

What that means, for those who dont wake up at 7:30am, is that you have snacks an hour and a half after your meal, and meals 3-4 hours apart.  Today so far looked like this:

Meal 1: 1 Vitamuffin, 1/2 champagne mango, 5 black grapes, 1 Applegate sausage link. Glass of water with lemon.  (I am skipping the green tea because my dentist is whitening my teeth and prohibited tea/coffee)  This was my favorite meal of the day :)

Snack 1: 2 Turkish Figs (at 120 calories) and 2 celery stalks (15 calories)

Snack 2: 10 baby carrots

Meal 2: Was supposed to be the awesome spicy black bean kale soup, but I was wrapped up in work and missed the time frame, so Im passing it and moving on, as advised in the book.

Meal 3: Green Salad with 4oz grilled chicken. 

1 Hour Workout (I use the Nike Training Club App - its effing phenomenal)

Meal 4: 6oz Salmon with steamed kale sprinkled with salt, garlic, EVOO, and nutritional yeast. 

I am having Meal 3 in about fifteen minutes.  The beauty to this diet plan, and meal plans in general, is that although I may have hunger pangs, I know exactly when I can eat - so I have something to look forward to.  My favorite part about today was the figs.  Chewy, nutty, and sweet.  No more eating out!  I will have to bring my food to NYC tomorrow.  Restaurants will always be there.
