Woke up this morning jittery and excited! I weighed in to get an accurate starting weight, made some coffee (I'll explain why in a minute), and looked at my planned meals.
I had generated a short (hopefully to be expaned upon) list of appropriate breakfasts, or breakfasts I'd actually eat, in order to make the process a little easier. As things progress, I'll expand. I hope to eventually have a decent sized list to share with you all - breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks.
I picked the easiest breakfast today, because I didn't really feel like making a bigger mess in the kitchen then there already was. It was as follows:
- Three eggs - scrambled, no milk, no salt, just eggs!
- A small handful of chopped fresh spinach - a little too small, should have put in a little more
- About a quarter of a small avacado - literally only 25g of avacado, it was kind of brown, but I still went with it
Okay, now, why I still drink coffee:
I have two justifications for this. One, I only use a total of three tablespoons of half and half a day - equalling 2 carbs total. Two, I have a major addiction to the caffiene (actually true! I have experienced withdrawl symptoms when I have not had at least two cups of coffee in two days).
Okay okay, I know that half and half isn't natural, wasn't available to our anscestors, kind of defeats the purpose of this, yadda yadda yadda, I get it! BUT in my defense...I don't think it defeats the whole purpose. If three tablespoons of processed dairy product is enough to cause major medical issues, massive weight gain, and for you to not take me seriously...then I say lighten up! It's less than a quarter cup a day, less than four gallons in a year (3.6 to be exact). I'm going to take my chances.
