Well, I consider my Day 1 a success even though I ate more points than I thought. I was still on program. My attitude is much more positive today! Yesterday, I was rather soberly going back on program, just knowing I had to. But today, I feel back on the wagon and much more determined.
I started right off the bat logging some steps since my FitBit is charged and on my wrist. I reached 7300 steps by midnight.
Food today:
Breakfast
2 small bananas - 0 points, oatmeal - 0 points, 1 oz 2% milk - 1point
Lunch
Small red potato with salt only - 0 points, 1 1/2 oz. chicken breast - 0 points, 1 1/2 oz lean steak - 2 points, 1 tsp oil - 1 point
Dinner
Brown rice - 0 points, 1 tsp oil - 1 point, chicken breast - 0 points, Birds-Eye Stir Fry vegetables with small amount of the stir- fry sauce - 1 point, grapes - 0 points
Snacks
Grapes, banana, 1 c Reese's Puffs Cereal - 7 points (not worth it!)
2 scrambled eggs - 0 points, light mozzarella stick - 1 point, light Thomas English muffin - 3 points
That totaled 17 points, all of my dailies. Calories add up to 1513. Less points today but more calories than yesterday. I used more free foods today. My daily calorie goal is 1600 or less. 7300 steps burned more calories. I'll take it.
By the way, I remembered to weigh first thing, and it gave me a baseline weight loss of 17.3 points. That means I gained 20 pounds during the pandemic. Boo on that! I've got to put an end to this roller-coaster dieting. I still have about 84 pounds to lose, I think, to reach lifetime. Here's hoping for a good Day 3!
