Ok so I finally got on the scale this morning and it wasn’t pretty… I am back up a couple of pounds for some reason. Weirdly enough I barely ate a thing at Christmas yesterday! So I have no idea what’s going on, as usual.
Anyway, I’ve discovered through recent culinary adventures that soup, meat and veggies really tend to fill me up. So from now on, those will be the main staples of my diet. I’ve put together a plan that goes something like this:
1st meal: Either brown rice & berries or plain oatmeal & berries
2nd meal: Thick veggies soup – either butternut squash, broccoli or red pepper/tomato, plus a piece of fruit
3rd meal: grilled fish (shrimp, salmon or scallops) & veggies & some salad
4th meal: chicken or egg whites, veggies, piece of cheddar, piece of fruit if I’m hungry
Snacks if needed: small handful of raw sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
Lots and lots of water (to make up for the extra sodium I’ll be ingesting)
The 4th meal and snacks are optional and will only be eaten if I am hungry enough.
Anyway, I’ve begun this plan today already. It’s pretty much a low carb plan with the only real carb meal being the first one of the day. We’ll see how it goes…! Thankfully I enjoy most of the foods on this plan. There will be a little increased sodium from the soup, but I will offset it with extra water.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
In other news I am having major sinus/throat problems again. My boyfriend is too. Taking Claritin helps a bit, so likely it’s some sort of allergy. Who knows? Who cares at this point? I guess it’s just going to be something I am going to have to live with until it decides to go away.
