After my binge eating from the weekend I decided to take drastic measures and tackle a meal plan that has been staring at me for months. It seemed an impossible task 6 meals in one day! Nothing but chicken, fish and veggies....this did not seem like it was going to work. Plus it had me drinking coconut oil. However, since I have taken on so many tough challenges lately I figured I would give this a try and let you know what it is REALLY like.....
Day 1: Daylight savings still has me totally thrown off. I'm not sure what time it is in my house because I still have to change clocks in places that don't automatically do it. I get my daughters ready for the day and then the boys wake up. I still have not managed to get my first meal in. This is going to be a challenge. In my life being busy is a constant and finding time to eat is really difficult. By 8:30 my Mom arrives to help with the kids and I am finally able to make my steel cut oatmeal and egg whites. I use pepper on the egg whites and cinnamon on the oatmeal and have a glass of water. I down the coconut oil and surprisingly it isn't too bad. The day then consists of me prepping my meals (chicken, fish) and getting ready to eat every 2 hours. Well the best laid plans are not always possible. Between playing with the kids and getting a quick 30 minute workout in (I love morning naps) I was able to eat again at noon (so I wasn't sticking to the every 2 hour mark). I had grilled chicken and yams with cinnamon and it was good. I felt full I didn't have a craving for anything. After the kids went in for the afternoon nap I was able to eat the fist and broccoli combo and that was surprisingly satisfying. I am not a huge fish person. I love shrimp, scallops, lobster, but fish I am just not in love with. So this was my biggest hurdle, but it wasn't bad at all. Now most of the day consisted of the same routine. However, this is where I really need to improve. I only ate 4 meals today. I ate my chicken with green beans and it was delicious. I need to make it a point to fit the other 2 meals in. I will set my alarm and try to beat the morning rush of 4 little ones asking for breakfast or in the twins case (crying) and focus on them. I will be posting my before and afters on Thursday and will give an update about tomorrow's challenges!!
