7:00 a.m. came too fast on a Saturday for me. But I was up and ready for a full day of activities with the Onalaska Jaycees!
Waking up:
(✓) Probiotic Restore Packet
(✓) Water
(✓) Banana for breakfast
Lunch: (Came later after the Easter Egg hunt, but I was HUNGRY by then!)
A couple of us went over to Grizzly's to find something to eat for lunch. Another obstacle in my 24-Day Challenge! But I was ready to make conscious correct eating choices!!! Bring it on, Grizzly's!!!
So, I was actually feeling like a salad and I saw their "Apple Pecan Salad" I read the ingredients and I was hooked!
(✓) 2 servings of ice berg/romaine lettuce
(✓) GRAPE HALVES!!
(✓) APPLE HALVES!!
(✓) Raspberry Vinaigrette on the side!!
Wow, I tell you, this salad was AH-MAY-ZING!!!!! Who would have thought that grapes and apples on a salad would be good?! Oh my goodness, with a little hint of the Raspberry Vinaigrette, it was perfecto! I loved it! YUM YUM! Even though I got a couple of "scoffs" from the boys I was eating lunch with... saying "I want the Apple pecan salad, without the pecans, and cheese, and other items". They just don't know what they were missing! Although the smell of their smothered fried chicken sandwiches with cheesy hash browns was enticing, I enjoyed my salad to the FULL extent!!
Snack:
(✓) Cherry tomatoessssssssssssssssssss! AHHH! I LOVE THEM!!!
Supper:
So, supper on this day was our infamous steak fry put on by the Onalaska Jaycees. MMMM... Steak. I was so excited to find out the my Mom & Dad were coming up to the steak fry along with Rich & Rose! WOOT! That was exciting! But, time for me to make good choices with foooooood again!
(✓) Salad with romaine lettuce
(✓) Cherry TOMATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
(✓) French Dressing (just a dab.. that was pretty much the only decent dressing we had! :))
(✓) Steak! (I was thinking it was probably 2 servings worth... SO DELICIOUS!!)
(✓) Water
(✓) 4 OmegaPlex with dinner
Oh my goodness, I was full after I had eaten my meal! I was REALLY proud of myself when I chose my items for my salad. I LOVE loading my salad with cottage cheese, shredded cheese, bacon bits, sunflower seeds, and a several ladles of dressing! I knew what I had to do and I just did it! I enjoyed my salad with just tomatoes and lettuce! I still find myself wanting to add the yummy extras to my salads, but once I have the salad in front of me, I am good to go!
I had another great day of making good choices!!! It's not as hard as I thought it was going to be! :) I know I had eaten slighty more than what is suggested, but they were all good choices!
Later night snack: (I was hungry :))
(✓) apple
(✓) baked potato with pleasoning seasoning
(✓) herbal cleanse before bed!
Pecans are good. Nuts could have been had on the salad & would have fallen well within the 24 day challenge suggested meal plan. Be glad that you didn't have a smothered fried chic, sand. You would have felt physically like crap having it afterwards. Steak was fine, I had prime rib (fat cut off) & was a yummy treat I'm sure! :) A serving of meat is usually defined by the size of a deck of playing cards (according to WW) I hope that might answer your ? regarding the steak servings.
ReplyDeleteYa, I saw the nuts on the challenge grocery list, but I think the pecans were glazed & sugared? I think that's why I didn't have them on my salad :) I also saw on the grocery list that the meat is the size of the palm of your hand, but the deck of cards makes that whole idea so much easier! THANKS BECKY!!
