My daughter Nisha has tried to get me to apply to the Biggest Loser Show. I'm not afraid about showing the world my fatty, sweaty body. After giving birth to 7 kids, I have no pride left. But, the thing that really scares me is Jillian! She really scares me!!! I'm not used to adults yelling at me! I'd be the only one on the history of The Biggest Loser show to seriously hide from her!
Before I went to Nisha's, I have to admit I caved into my husband's suggestion of eating out Thursday night at the new Chuck-a-rama. He said it would be along time before I ate real food again! I have to admit, I enjoyed every bite!
Saturday was my first day of my journey. I learned a lot! Nisha used some online web sites to calculate my BMI, BMR and nutritional needs. Nisha has perfected her meals to be lots of volume for little calories. Seriously, I thought I was cheating all day. And I had a hard time reaching my calorie goals for the day. I was so stuffed!
This morning, I started out with scrambled egg whites with Broccoli, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. Very filling, yummy and only 122 calories! I will defiantly keep this on my favorite list.
Then, I exercised on the elliptical. I was never able to go more than 10 minutes before, but Nisha scheduled me with intervals to make it easier and less boring. I can't believe I went a whole 30 minutes!
Then, I had my morning snack of Baked Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal. Usually oatmeal is too high in carbs for me, but Nisha puts in egg whites and cottage cheese to increase the protein. Wow, it gives it almost a custard fluffy taste. I could eat this all day!!! And it's only 204 calories. And I had a Raspberry Cheesecake Shake at 120 calories.
For Lunch, I had two small portions of leftover soup, Pumpkin chili and Taco Soup. Both were very good and filling and only came to 228 calories total.
For my afternoon snack, I had Delicious Cottage Cheese Pancakes with raspberry jam and walden farms no calorie pancake syrup. Oh yeah! This goes on my favorite list! Two pancakes, only 176 calories!
For Dinner, I had Coconut Chicken Soup, only 199 calories.
For evening snack, I had a Peanut Brittle Crepe, 213 calories, cottage cheese & almonds, 76 calories and a chocolate rice cake with chocolate PB2 spread, 83 calories.
Yes, you read that right! I ate 6 times! I sure was stuffed by the end of the day and yet I only had 1421 calories total for the day!
I called my husband up and told him...I'm eating good!
