Phase 1 Day 1

Wow. Day 1 was actually a lot harder then I thought. I did great during the structured work hours of my day, but when I got home all I wanted to do was eat everything I couldn't!!! The thing that makes the South Beach successful is successful planning. Unfortunately I didn't get to plan the next couple days meals until this afternoon which means I haven't gone to the store yet... which means I only have bad snacks in the house!!!

So today I ate:
Breakfast:
scrambled eggs w/cheese

Lunch:
Pesto Chicken w/ moz cheese
Green beans

Dinner:
Grilled Chicken Strips

I obviously didn't do great...need to get some more veggies in there for sure!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddddd I had a few bites of the ginormus cookie Levi got at his preschool open house...I just couldn't help it...it was calling my name...M&M's and all.

What did YOU eat today???

Plumpton's Phase 1 Fajitas!
