THM Day 1


The next (many) posts are going to be really boring...just me talking about what I'm eating.

It amazes me how far I've really come since I started this blog. I used to C R A V E sugar and carbs. I no longer drink cow's milk, rarely drink soda, don't eat chocolate like EVERY day, very rarely eat bread at all and I eat a ton more vegetables!

I started THM meals today! Just breakfasts this week, but I am quickly seeing how easy it will be to incorporate the plan with my salad. I'm just plain tired of making my salad, so I'm going to switch things up a bit.

This morning:
tiny smear of coconut oil (my new favorite food!)
egg whites
wedge 1/3 fat laughing cow cheese swiss
broccoli
spinach
garlic, salt & pepper

What a delicious breakfast! I think it is a Fuel Pull, when I thought I was going for E. So much to learn. So I added Fiber One to the meal for E.

Lunch I did some fancy footwork with my salad recipe, but I was counting the carbs from the veggies, so it wasn't satisfying at all, very low carb. I was really hungry after eating it and had a bit of Skinny Chocolate. Still hungry, so the 1/2C of 2% cottage cheese and a few raspberries finally took the edge off. I have a long way to go to figure this out!

Tonight I'm making my husband's favorite "lean and green" meal Dijon Chicken Broccoli, which happens to qualify as a Fuel Pull as well, unless in a sweet potato or something for the carb (maybe cheesy cauliflower)! I might just have a big plate of it and call it good. Fred Meyer was OUT of bulk quinoa, I wanted to come home with some.

(This photo almost doesn't look real! These sweeties were on my walk, I've been waiting a long time for them to bloom!)
