Motivation Challenge Day 5

Sunday's Food

• Breakfast was Kashi Go Lean cereal with a 1/2 cup of skim milk, and a pile of strawberries and blueberries. Used 4 Points, got 0.5 Dairy GHG
• Lunch was leftovers from previous dinners: 1/2 cup of dal, 1 cup of aloo gobi, 1/2 cup of basmati rice, cellophane noodles with steamed bok choy and other veggies, and a spring roll Used 16 Points, got 1 Whole Grain, 1 Lean Protein, and 2 Fruit/Veggie GHGs
• Dinner was 1 taco (that's right - only ONE taco, since I had only 3 daily points left!) and a gigantic salad containing tomatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms. Used 3 Points, got 2 Fruit/Veggie and 1 Lean Protein GHG
• My snacks were 1/4 of my boyfriend's Starbucks cupcake, and a baggie of baby carrots and red bell pepper slices Used 2 Points, got 1 Fruit/Veggie GHG

Used 25 Points (used +2 Weekly Points)

I also got 2L of water, a cup of coffee, and a tall unsweetened iced tea.
GHGs:

• Liquids: 10/6
• Oils: 0/2 (maybe 1 if I count the oil that is assumed to be in the leftover Filipino/Indian foods)
• Fruit/Veggies: 5/5
• Dairy: 1/2
• Lean Protein: 2/2
• Whole Grain: 1/1

I'm noticing a trend with my GHGs... I'm really awful at getting in the healthy oils. I tend to only get them in through sauteeing my veggies, and occasionally as salad dressing. I'm going to need to find some new creative ways to get them in!

Sunday Activity
After dinner, Ed and I went for an enormous walk through the park (about an hour). It was great! We stopped at Starbucks first, where I got my tall unsweetened iced tea, and he a latte and cupcake. We walked around the pond, where we saw tons of ducks, swans, and even a beaver :D! Had a great time and earned myself 1AP on top of it.

So, let's recap:

• Tracked all my food: Yes!
• Got in my GHGs: :( Darn oils...
• Got moving: Yes!

So here's my next steps... I need to get my oils in and dairy in a creative way (because clearly, my less creative ways aren't working out for me :P), and I need to get in my first run of the Motivation Challenge! It's gonna happen people, I'm officially promising right here and now that it will HAPPEN!
