It's amazing what a day off will do for you!
Today I did some grocery shopping and stocked up on some healthier alternatives for the kids (Kashi bars), whole wheat tortillas, fresh broccoli and mango to name a few. Got home, made grilled chicken and roasted butternut squash for dinner (Megan wasn't impressed with the squash and didn't eat it), but it tasted so good. Made it to the gym for a little cardio before our first meeting with the nutrition guru. I'm not feeling overwhelmed but optimistic. She wants me eating 1,700 calories a day, Megan 2,000 and Matthew and Ben 2,300. I have to admit that number seemed high to me but I'm a black or white kind of person and when I think weight loss I automatically think reduce reduce reduce...count count count. Hey, that's what I'm good at, you know! I'm either dieting or not dieting. I've never in my life been able to find an in between.
So, I came home and had a snack...
This weekend is going to be extra busy so it will be interesting how I'm going to fit in our nightly workout. I have a white chicken chili in the crockpot now for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Kids won't eat that...I'll have to come up with something quick for them...maybe some chicken and cheese quesidillas on whole wheat tortillas for dinner. Getting veggies into them is going to be tough, tough, tough. Megan will eat broccoli and carrots. Ben likes veggies such as pumpkin, squash and maybe peas. Matthew will eat broccoli, cucumbers, maybe carrots...maybe maybe cauliflower. Me, I'll eat just about any veggie other than brussel sprouts and lima beans (EWWWWW). I'm going to have to get the sneaky foods book!
Zachy is a picky 2 year old who will eat one thing one day and then refuse it the next. Got to love 2 year olds.
All in all I'm sore but feeling good. I'll feel better once that number on the scale starts falling...I know, I know...don't worry folks. I'm doing it right this time.
