I started this Transformer in conjunction with a Kickstarter to restoke my system and actually "kickstart" my success in this Transformer. My short term commitments for 30 days are (as some of you know)...
- No alcohol (aka "por favor - No Bibidas Para Michel")
- Use MyFitnessPal.com to plan and track my food (for me that is 1,200 colories)
- Eat every 2 to 3 waking hours
- Exercise 3 times a day and have some form of protein within 1/2 hour of completing each workout
- Eat something within 1/2 hour of waking up
I slept great last night, even though I went to bed "early" for me 10:00. So I was wide awake at 6 am. I tried to go back to sleep but after 20 minutes I got up.
I made myself a cup of green tea with fresh grated ginger (anti-inflamatory miracle for me). I started playing my "word with friends" and after a while I realized that my ginger probably doesn't count as "eating". Crud! I quickly rack my brain for "what can I have that won't totally throw off my plan for the day". Remember I had purchased some hard boiled medium eggs - just have 2 egg whites.
Confession - I really dislike egg white texture. It isn't so bad when you have deviled eggs or really good egg salad (both obviously not on plan now) - but just egg whites... well not so much. But they are the obvious choice for a quick, nutritious, low-calorie intake.
So, I sprinkled my egg whites with chipotle powder and pink sea salt and consumed them - as I entered then into myfitnesspal.
On a positive note, today is date day and we are going up to The Coyote Grill.
PLAN FOR SUCCESS - I have on my Cinco de Mayo plan a fajita steak salad with tortilla chips and salsa. This will be romaine lettuce and onions topped with grilled flank steak (4 ounces) with fresh salsa for dressing and 2 ounces of tortilla chips (yes I am taking my little scale with me). I am so excited for something really crunchy :)
Carpe Diem!!!
