Week One DONE!!!

Week One is complete!! With the exception of our dinner out last night I have stuck to the eating plan, even with our trip out for Mexican today I felt pretty confident in my choices. I did see some weight gain on the scale this morning from our AH-MAZING meal last night, but it was less than a pound.  I've heard some say that the weight gain from the cheat day or meal wouldn't show up until 2 days later so we will see what tomorrows weight in brings.

How do I feel after week one?  It is hard to explain but I am feeling better. I mean I am still not strong and my beginner work outs still are kicking my butt and I am sore.  But the crankiness is starting to leave me. Is it weird to say I feel healthier after only a week? Cause I feel like I am cleaner on the inside. LOL!! I know that doesn't make any since but that is kind of the only way I can explain it. And I have an interesting tidbit thanks to my fitbit.  I want to have another week of tracking to see if it is accurate but with my heart rate tracking fitbit I am literally watching my heart already getting healthier in only 7 short days my resting heart rate has gone down.  Like I said I am going to track it again this week and see this pattern I've noticed continues.

On to the food of the week. I didn't take pictures of everything, I should have for you guys. But I have pictures of some of the new and favorite things. :-) This first picture is the best new thing we made and that was Fresh Salsa to enjoy with our taco salads. It was SO good and went all toward our veggie quota for the day. It was so good hubby requested it again for Taco salad night this week.

                                             

Steak, Broccoli & baked sweet potato

My favorite breakfast, Strawberries, two scrambled eggs and half a min began or english muffing w/ peanut butter. 

This was a good first attempt but needed more seasoning

Now Shakeology is part of my daily meal plan.  It counts as a protein but it is also our daily vitamin too. It is a protein shake so if you are not a fan of protein shakes and that was me. It takes a little getting used to.  Now granted I've tried this before with other companies and I have been so nauseated by their protein shakes I could not continue.  I made it the whole week having ones of these everyday.  While I can't say for sure yet what effect they are having I know they are getting allot of good vitamins into my system. And I can't help but wonder if the whole "feeling clean inside" has something to do with this. I've done many diets and after weeks of Weight Watchers I don't ever remember actually feeling healthier and "cleaner".  On to next week! We'll see what the weigh in ends up being I am hoping for 4 lbs. psssttt don't tell...... but I was at -4.5 on Saturday morning but I am just hoping for 4 after Daniel's and Mexican seasoning today.
