17 Day Diet - Day 1

I woke up today feeling very encouraged and energized.  I weighed myself so that I would have a starting point to measure from for the next 17 days and I was pleasantly surprised.  I was down 2.4 pounds!!

So I am about to do something that I have never done on my blog before....I am going to tell you how much I way. {for the sake of keeping it real}

Starting Weight  180.4
wooo....I am about to have a panic attack!  I will not be weighing myself every day but when I do I will make sure to update to track my progress.

Breakfast

• 2 scrambled egg whites
• 1 cup of pineapple
• cup of green tea

Snack

• fresh fruit

I did not eat my morning snack.  I wasn't hungry, even when I went to eat lunch so I decided to skip it. 

Lunch

• Large green salad topped with chicken. I put lots of veggies on my salad today.  Cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, red bell pepper, and button mushrooms.  I used Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette. 
• cup of green tea

Snack

• Danon Greek Vanilla

Dinner

• grilled chicken with sauted yellow squash and zucchini
• cup of green tea

Exercise

• 30 minutes on the elliptical alternating between resistance. 

Day one went off with out a hitch even though one coworker brought in cupcakes and another brought in cheese and bacon scones!!!  I did not partake because  I am prepared in advance and making sure that I have my healthy options accessible to me.  Last night I laid out each snack and labeled which day I would be eating it.  It might be a little OCD but it will help me to keep track.
