Day 2 - Feeling Encouraged

 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!
