Day 1, The Beginning

Oh the start of it all. Hopefully I can look back in 30 days at the peak of this small journey, proud of my efforts and wanting to climb the bigger mountain of sustained eating well. Today was good, I was never hungry, I was able to control the caffeine cravings with tea.

I can't believe I didn't take a single picture, and my dinner was so good; a shame.

Today started with a tiny little cheat, I had about 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt left and I couldn't throw it away.


Breakfast: (Honestly my least favorite meal of the day)
Smoothie which consisted of the last of the Greek yogurt, a cup of frozen strawberries, a frozen banana, 1/2 TB of honey and 1 cup of coconut milk. Morgan and I shared the smoothie as we headed out the door. She ate cereal and milk before we left.

Boiled egg, ate  this about 9am after the 6:30 smoothie started to wear off.

Late Morning Snack:
2oz probiotic drink from Costco
Vanilla Chai Tea with a tiny swish of honey

Lunch:
Grilled chicken breast, salted and peppered
Salad with spinach, kale, chard, a carrot and about 1/4 of a jicama
1 TB of homemade honey mustard dressing

Afternoon Snacking:
Celery stalk with about 1 TB of almond butter
Green tea with lemon

Dinner:
Broiled salmon, sprinkled with lemon, salt and peppered
Acorn squash with a little coconut oil and sprinkled with cinnamon
Sauteed spinach with a splash of of olive oil and chopped garlic

Morgan loved the acorn squash and dinner was also cat approved, he begged for salmon and squash, getting a couple of bites out of us.

Lots of water too, never a problem for me, I drink it all day at work.

Yay for day one!
