Day 1

So, it's the first day of the challenge. I weighed in this morning, and the number reflected my bad choices. It's okay though, I'm confident I can work it off within the next week or so. I'm pretty pumped for this whole thing and even with it being Super Bowl Sunday, I was determined to make some good choices.

I went back to my parents' house on Long Island last night and spent most of today there, which was hard to start the challenge when I wasn't in my regular routine, with my regular scale, or my regular fridge.

Anyway... my menu:

Brunch (went to the diner with Dad, because apparently I like to start things off with a real bang) --- 5 points out of 22 total.

• Egg whites (I ordered two, I'm going to guess they made about 8. I ate half.) --- 1.5
• 1/4 cup ketchup --- 1
• 1.5 slices of whole wheat toast (dry) --- 1.5
• 1 cup steamed broccoli on the side --- 0
• 2 cups of coffee --- 0
• 1/2 cup skim milk (in the coffees) --- 1

Mid-day --- 3 points out of 22 total.

• 1 medium apple --- 1
• 1/2 cup 2% fat cottage cheese --- 2

Dinner/Super Bowl --- 13 points out of 22 total.

• 2 slices of high fiber bread from Trader Joe's --- 3
• 2 oz roasted turkey breast --- 1
• 1 wedge Laughing Cow light swiss --- 1
• 2 tbsp honey mustard --- 1
• 16 (ok, I'm guessing) Ruffles potato chips --- 5
• 1 cup of onion dip made with 0% Greek yogurt --- 2
• 2 cans of seltzer (no beer! I know.) --- 0

(Tip: for dips and such, I use 0% Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Big points saver, and tastes basically the same, just a little thicker. I also use it on burritos and tacos.)

So that's 21 of my 22 points, and I'm calling it a day.
Definitely didn't get my 8HGs in, but considering the diner this morning and the Super Bowl going on right now, I am SHOCKED I stayed within my daily points.
Also no activity today. I did Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred yesterday, and today could barely walk. My mom actually had to push me out of the car. I'm not kidding.
