Motivation Challenge Day 3

Friday's Food:

  • Breakfast was kind of pathetic, as I hadn't been grocery shopping. Still tasty though! It ended up being a McGuiver of a cereal bowl with about 2/3c All Bran flakes, 1/3c Kashi Honey puffed rice, and a small sprinkling of vanilla granola on top. Added the last few blackberries in my fridge and 1/2 a banana, and 1c of vanilla almond milk. Used 5 Points, got 1 Fruit/Veggie and 0.5 Dairy GHG. [Note: I'm counting my almond milk as a Dairy, as the nutritional info on my carton is the exact same as that of my skim milk (calcium, Vit D, etc)]
  • Lunch was a huge salad, again, because I hadn't been grocery shopping. 2c of mixed greens with 1/2 a chopped up bell pepper, 1tbsp of crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4c of steamed edamame, topped with about 1tbsp of olive oil/parmesan dressing. I also had a WW 1 Point Fruitty Nutty bar! Used 3 Points, got 2 Fruit/Veggie and 0.5 Lean Protein GHG
  • Dinner was INDIAN FOOD!!!! Ed and I ordered in from our favourite neighbourhood Indian restaurant. I got to do the ordering, so I tried to pick the most points-friendly-yet-delicious options, and had smaller portions of everything rather than stuff myself full unnecessarily. Despite this, I was STILL crazy full! I ordered dal, aloo gobi, lamb palak, basmati rice, naan, and a mango lassi. Used 15 Points, got 1 Dairy (in the lassi), 1 Whole Grain, 1 Lean Protein and 1 Fruit/Veggie GHG
  • Snacks were 1 packet of 2 Point WW pretzels with 2 Laughing Cow wedges, and a baggie full of veggies (about 2c worth) with 1tbsp white bean and garlic dip. Later in the evening, I got some low-fat frozen yogurt with berries. Used 7 Points, got 2 Fruit/Veggie GHG

Used 30 Points Soooo, I went a little bit over my Points allowance. But hey, that's what the weeklies are for! So long as I keep tracking everything honestly, I'd say that I was still successful! (Used +7 Weekly Points)

I also drank 1.5L of water and 1c of coffee.

GHGs!

  • Liquids: 6/6
  • Dairy: 1.5/2
  • Fruit/Veggies: 5/5
  • Oils: 0/2, unless I get to count what was in the Indian food...
  • Lean Protein: 1.5/2
  • Whole Grain: 1/1

Friday's Activity

Immediately after work, I went out to the grocery store because damn, I was desperate for some real groceries. I walked to the store and back since it was SO NICE OUTSIDE (20 degrees :D!). That was about 30 minutes of walking, uphill one way and heavily laden with groceries the other way! My boyfriend and I also went for a huuuuuge walk after Indianfoodpalooza, I guess in a vain attempt to aid in digestion of the delicious rock in our stomachs. That was another hour of walking! I would have loved to go running today in the sunshine, but unfortunately, my muscles still aren't happy with me today. Errgh... maybe tomorrow I can get out for a run!

In summary,

  • Tracked food: Yes!
  • Got in my GHGs: missed oils and half dairy and lean protein
  • Got moving: Yes!
