I woke up to a song playing in my head, from the hit musical, Newsies. The words are as followed:
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us give our rights away
Arise and seize the day
Somehow, this was just the kick start of encouragement I needed to get back on the program!
I survived through today, eating more of the "hearty" meals...ones you actually have to cook in the microwave, let stand a while, etc. Most of the meals that I had today were left over from our last orders of food. I figured we should eat the older stuff first, and the hearty ones when we are at home. Although we do have hundreds of the more portable meal replacements (bars, and shakes) I thought those are the perfect solution to eating healthy while we are at school. They can be easily eaten during our 15 minute breaks in between classes. I did have one meal replacement from our new batch of ordered food, it was a new item all together on the program... It is called Ziti Marinara, and it tastes EXACTLY like spaghetti. It was quite tasty!
A small victorious moment for me today is that I went to Costco, and I didn't get even one of the smallest samples, of anything! I stayed completely on plan.... okay, I might have cheated a little bit... I went to the Costco business center, where they simply don't offer samples.... but nonetheless, I went to Costco, and did not get any samples!
I'm not sure what we are going to eat for our lean and meal green meal, but we have all the ingredients for most of them in our fridge. We just got to whip something up to eat... having healthy items on hand, make healthy eating easier!
Oh yeah, I thought I would post a picture of the little basket thingamajigs that now host our meal replacements in an organized fashion!
I predict that we will purchase a few more orders by the end of the month... The company is running a super great deal, and their variety packs are currently $40 off....when you have multiple people doing the program, that adds up to a lot of (much needed) savings! I think we might buy a few of the variety packs, to ensure that we get to participate in this great deal, and to ensure that we will be on plan continuously (we got our tax refunds recently, so we do have a little extra wiggle room for expenditures).
Over the last few days I have thought about special events that are coming up this week, and I want to be rocking an awesome body for those events when I see people I haven't scene in many years.
I'm excited to get rid of the weight, look and feel awesome!
