Day 79

Well today was "day one" and I feel like I did pretty well. I weighed this morning, so i will post my results next Wednesday after I have a week under my belt. We had a field trip to a museum today so I had to pack a lunch, which always proves to be more challenging for me. Plus they have a Bill Grays in the museum, which is the home of the most amazing cheeseburger joint EVER, so the smell of that is enough to make anyone cheat any diet! :-)
   So, if you are wondering what "plan" I am doing, I will tell you. I am trying to do a combination of Trim Healthy Mama, and counting calories. I love the Trim Healthy Mama plan, but I know I eat WAY too many calories when I am on that plan. Eating desserts with heavy cream, dinners filled with cream cheese, and coconut oil for dessert, was not working for me. I don't blame the plan actually, its just how I execute the plan. For instance, they would probably suggest for a nice S lunch to be something like, a bed of lettuce with salmon on top, sprinkle of cheese, and a healthy oil dressing, with a piece of skinny chocolate for dessert. What do I have? Oh I don't know like a mixture of cream cheese, chicken, cheddar cheese in a tortilla, dipped in sour cream, and then for dessert 1/4 cup of heavy cream mixed with peanut butter and sweetener. Delicious? Yes! BUT, probably like 1,000 calories. I was probably eating up to 3-4,000 calories a day, and I just feel like I can't wonder why I'm not losing weight. So, I have decided to try to follow THM as much as possible, all while counting calories. My goal is to stay on THM, but if I have to "cheat", it's ok as long as I count the calories. My goal is to just try to stay under 1,500 calories a day. I will start with that and see if I can lose, and if it doesn't work, I will have to reevaluate. Anyway, there is my long story! Here is what I ate today!

Breakfast - THM waffles - E  - 235 calories
Lunch - Egg salad on 1/2 Joseph's lavish and Zevia drink - S - 250 calories
Dessert - 1 Sugar Free PB cup - S - 80 calories
Snack - Quest PB Chocolate Bar - FP - 160 calories
Snack - Couple slices of rotisserie chicken - FP - 110 calories? ( not really sure )
Dinner - Turkey sub from Subway - Crossover - 410 calories
Dessert - 1 Sugar Free chocolate - S - 75 calories

Total Calories - 1,320

That was my day! I'm pretty happy how it turned out! Trying to not eat after 6 each night, so I'm STARVING right now, but I'm going to push through and try to go to bed. I have a 6 month old who is getting up 3 times a night, and a 9 year old who is sick and throwing up, so I'm thinking there will not be too much sleep tonight. :-/ I will be back tomorrow!
