I'm not going to lie, today was not so easy. We woke up at 5:20 am so that we would have enough time to eat. On the menu for me were 5 egg whites, with veggies and 1 serving of oatmeal. I was a little disappointed that I could only finish 3 egg whites and 1/3 of my oatmeal. I just knew I would puke if I had to eat another egg white! I have NO CLUE how anyone could eat 5 egg whites in one sitting (probably because I don't really care much for eggs in general).
Moving on to my mid-morning meal I had plain Greek yogurt and raspberries topped with Stevia and cinnamon. This was probably the easiest thing I ate all day! At lunch I had 6 ounces of grilled chicken on romaine lettuce, mushrooms and broccoli topped with a little balsamic vinaigrette. On the side a slice of pita bread.
Jason and I went to work out together at lunch and as expected I needed a little encouragement. Today was triceps and chest. I can probably count how many pushups I've done in the last...well EVER...on my fingers and toes. My workout today may not have looked pretty, but I concentrated on keeping my form and made sure to complete each set even though it crossed my mind several dozen times that it would be easier to quit. After my workout I had about 1/2 of a protein shake and most of a banana.
I ended the evening with 6 ounces of lemon chicken with brown rice. According to the plan I am supposed to eat 5 egg whites before I go to bed, but I just don't think I can handle putting any more food in my body. It's not that I'm too full (honestly I'm kind of hungry) but that I just don't think I can physically put any more food in my body.
Even though I felt discouraged several times throughout the day, I really tried hard to push myself mentally to reach my goals. I wasn't 100% successful but I can honestly say that I feel good about my start.
Jason seems to be doing okay with the food, but I can tell it is still a little much for him. I'm looking forward to things getting a little easier to do as we go along!
