Lose My Muffin Top Challenge: DAY 1 of 30
Day 1
My Thoughts: Wow I really get to eat A LOT!!
Total Calorie Intake: 1587
Today was great! I spent all day on the 13th preparing my menu for the week (trying to keep it under 1900 calories) I really enjoyed finding filling foods within my calorie range. I think I went to school for the wrong thing. I so should have been a diet menu planner. I LOVE doing this. I haven’t been hungry yet! My energy level is up. I just have an overall good feeling. It’s amazing what exercise and an improved diet will do for ya.
Here’s my schedule
**WORKOUT: 30 Day Shred
Drank 8 oz of water
BREAKFAST= 440 Calories
Baked Spinach & Salsa Omelet and Small Fruit Smoothie
This was VERY filling. I use this recipe with these adjustments ( I adjusted the cooking time. Use 2 eggs, 2 T. soy milk, 1 T flour, 2 T. cheddar cheese, 1 cup chopped baby spinach, 2 T. Salsa, salt & pepper.) I sauteed the spinach first. This was so good. My toddler said it was egg lasagna. Next time I’ll add some fresh garlic. For the smoothie, I blended 1/2 cup yogurt, 2 T. soymilk, 1/2 frozen fruit.
Drank 8 oz of water
SNACK:
Strawberries & Cool Whip = 94 calorie
I ate 9 strawberries with a 1/4 cup of cool whip. I was so hoping I could find that chocolate cool whip, but this was still a good snack and very filling.
Drank 8 oz of water
LUNCH:
Grilled Turkey Avocado Sandwich, Veggie Chips & Chocolate Chip Cookie=356 calories
I used whole wheat bread, 2 slices of roasted turkey, slice of tomato, couple slices of avocado, spinach and sliced cheese. 1/2 a serving of veggie chips and only 1 soft batch cookie (toddler at the the other one) This lunch was so good, even though I wasn’t even hungry.
Drank 8 oz of water
SNACK:
Salt Lime Popcorn = 95 calories
I ate half the bag of lime & salt popcorn (mini size). So yummy!
Drank 8 oz of water
DINNER= 502 calories
Grilled Chicken, Tomato Pasta Salad, Green Salad
I was pressed for time so I just threw a plain chicken breast on the Foreman, boiled a half box of angel hair fiber pasta and added a can of salt free Italian seasoned chopped tomatoes to it. Along with some salt, pepper, parsley and Parmesan cheese. The side salad had cucumbers, cheese and a couple mists of salad dressing.
Drank 8 oz water
DESSERT
Skinny Cow White Mint Truffle Ice Cream Bar= 100
These were so good and hit the spot.
Drank 8 oz water
***WORKOUT: No More Trouble Zones
I’m curious if you completed the 30 day challenge myself. And if it worked. Please tell us. Your meal plans do look wonderful and if you list how to do it, I will try it.
wow this was so long ago! I probably crashed and burned!
Hey girly I am at wk and just scanning through your site. Are you going to start this healthy meal plan thing back up cause I am quite sure u have prob lost the muffin top since its been 2 yrs since u posted something about this. I would love to see your mealplans cause the food you post looks GREAT. I am a very picky eater but I think I can handle what you did for week1.
Hi Monique these look great! I was wondering what size pan you made the omelet on?? Since the original recipe was twice as much in a 9×13.
Thanks!!
Please continue to post on about your challenge with recipes and videos updating us on how it goes! I have started to try my own weight loss challenge and your blogging would be so motivational!
You can do it!
Wow good job, that grilled sandwich looks great too
