Day One- This is actually going really well

So yesterday was Day One of my seven day meal plan. Here's what meals looked like for me:

Breakfast:

1/4 cup real, old fashioned oatmeal with 1/2 cup rice milk and 1 scoop EAS protein powder; 2 egg whites with half slice of American cheese and 1 tsp ketchup

Snack:

1 cup fresh berries blended with 2 scoops protein powder, ice and 1/2 cup rice milk plus 2 tsp Benefiber

Lunch:

1 serving (56 grams precooking weight) whole wheat linguine; 1 skinless chicken breast from a rotisserie chicken, 1.5 cups fresh organic spinach, 1 slice fresh mozzarella, 3/4 cup chunky marinara sauce

Dinner:

8 oz Haddock filet sauteed with 1 tbsp organic vegan canola butter, 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup chicken stock and 1.5 tbsp lemon juice; 10 stalks of fresh asparagus (the skinny ones) with 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper.

Tons of water. Total calories: 1300 (per sparkpeople.com)


And while I was positively ravenous this morning, I wasn't hungry yesterday. I did fine.

Of course, this meal plan isn't new to me. This is how I ate before I got pregnant. It was very easy to slip back in to it, especially since I've been eating a modified version of this plan for weeks. Not bad at all. Let's see if my body responds the way it used to. Pre-pregnancy jeans by Christmas? I hope so.

I admit, I do miss alcohol, but not terribly. Having been dry for weeks, this really wasn't a change. We don't go out to eat very often and if we did, I could easily make this plan work. So far, so good. Wish me luck.
