It's a "cinch"

Day 2 on my non-diet diet actually went very well!
I felt a bit hungry when I went to bed last night, so I downed a large glass of water and nibbled on a few carrots and sunflower seeds (my weakness!)
I was feeling great when I got up this morning, but I looked at my menu and saw what I was supposed to have for breakfast and thought, there is NO WAY I am going to make through my morning on that alone!

breakfast
I made the Berry Almond French Toast (approx. 200 cal)
- 1 slice whole grain bread
- 1 whole egg, 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp sliced almonds
- sprinkling on cinnamon
As I was making my meal, I thought, hmmm, I wonder if it would be ok if I snuck some syrup on here, this is probably going to be pretty bland... nope I was wrong again!
This breakfast was PHENOMENAL! And it kept me FULL until lunchtime (breakfast was at 9 a.m. lunch was at 1 p.m.)

lunch
I had leftover Turkey Mock Tacos for lunch (approx. 300 cal) and 1/2 cup of fresh gooseberries (approx. 35 cal).

I ate a snack bag of rice crackers when I got home around 3 pm to hold me over till dinner time (85 cal)

dinner
I made the recipe Chcken Pesto Pita (approx. 450 cal), I don't think I'll make this recipe again, or else I will omit the balsamic vinegar and replace it with lemon and white vinegar or something else I like better, it just had a bit of a funky taste!
- 1 regular sized or 2 mini whole grain pitas
- 1/4 cup cucumer
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- tomato
- fresh garlic
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 oz chicken

If I get hungry later I plan on having either the Sonoma Snack again, or a mini bag of lowfat popcorn (approx 100 cal).

I love it when I prove myself wrong! I was so skeptical looking at these recipes and I always think I will never be able to follow through with my plans, but I am so far (ya, ya, I know it's only day 2!) BUT, I have tried to convince myself that it is only 1 month. 30 days. that is it, if I can stick to it for 1 month and lose 10 pounds, then I will stick with it for longer because I am seeing results!
