Potty Breaks

I am not going to lie...today was rough. My normal routine every morning is a cup of extra hot coffee and then at least 3 days a week I will grab a skinny latte at Starbucks on my way to work. The days that I don't get my delicious espresso filled 180 degree beverage...I think about it and can't focus until I either go get one or succumb eventually to a diet Dr. Pepper. Thus my realization of the additional addiction that I have outside of carbs and chocolate...caffeine. I want to test myself this week and not purchase or drink any coffee and or diet sodas. Today was a rough one with this nice dull lingering headache and absolutely zero energy. However, I am super positive and motivated to make this happen!

My First Day of 'The Plan' Menu

Breakfast:
Four egg whites w/spinach
1 slice Ezekiel bread (toasted)

Snack:
Large glass of iced green tea
Pumpkin protein bar

Lunch:
Depressing...
Salad w/ 6oz dry, bland chicken breast
Veges

Snack:
Turkey protein balls

Dinner:
Canned Tuna
Green beans

**I have to say that the pumpkin protein bars were fabulous! It hit the spot being I was craving something a little sweet. Eating the afternoon snack of turkey balls...they were a bit spicy for me, however, they really hit the spot! I am not that impressed with my eating today. I will work on this being I will not last long eating such bland, boring food. A day eating like I did today is why people throw in the towel and start noshing on ice cream.
The plan suggests drinking at least a gallon of water and I accidentally lost count and probably drank two which had me taking several potty breaks at work. I feel skinnier already!
