My Starting Weight: 175
My Husband's Starting Weight: ??
I was surprised by my weight. I just weighed myself 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I was 165. I'm glad I've caught this now, so I can start to reverse it!
As promised, I got up at 5 to cook breakfast. I had done most of today's food prep last night, which is good, because I don't think clearly at 5 am :)
The Menu:
-Breakfast Sandwich (whole grain english muffin, low-fat cheddar, Canadian bacon, 2 egg whites)
-3/4 cup blueberries
-8 oz. 1% milk
-8 oz. water
My Response:
New to me foods: egg whites (I usually eat the yolks and leave the whites behind), blueberries
I mostly enjoyed the sandwich. Couldn't really taste the cheese, so I felt like that was a waste of calories. The egg whites were okay. I didn't object to them like I thought I would. Same with the blueberries. They were just okay. Not something I would run out to pick and eat.
His Response:
New to him foods: none
He seemed to enjoy the sandwich. I asked if he missed the yolks, and he said no. He has always enjoyed blueberries, but not necessarily in a bowl by themselves. He ate most of them. He refused the milk.
The Kids' Response:
#1 (12) - she is away at camp this week
#2 (9) - he tried one bite of the sandwich and (with my permission), took the egg whites off and ate half of his sandwich. He's not a big eater, so I'm not surprised. Tried one blueberry and didn't like it. Didn't drink the milk but had some orange juice.
#3 (5) - she has vomited several times this morning and will probably not each much today. Didn't even touch her breakfast, but had a small amount of orange juice.
#4 (almost 4) - He also vomited sometime in the night. I made the mistake of telling them it must have been the hard-boiled egg they ate last night (They were the only 2 to eat it. They were the only 2 to vomit. Logical conclusion.) He refused all of his breakfast, on the grounds that "eggs make me frow up." Requested Silk instead of milk.
The Workout:
Because this is a jump-start program, there is exercise 6 days a week. Today's cardio was 20 minutes, plus a series of 5 mobility exercises (1 minute each, 2 sets). I intended to use the treadmill but can't find the key anywhere, so I had to use the elliptical, which I hate. But I got through it and I'm glad I did. The mobility exercises were not at all worthy of discussion. I'm sure they will get more interesting as time goes on. Looking ahead, it seems like they mix those exercises up pretty nicely.
