I fell of the wagon this week. I've been consuming too many calories in a day and not following the plan. I guess I was getting frustrated at being hungry. Time for me to man up and do this.

Today my boyfriend wanted a sub from Papa Gino's for dinner. Since the plan only allows approximatly 300 calories per meal this was WAY off limits for me. I went next door to Shaws to see if they have any healthy alternatives and came upon Amy's meals. Amy's meals are organic, delicious, and perfectly portioned. They also come in a number of delicious varieties. I had Palak Paneer with Caraway Basmati Rice and Bean Korma. All of that was only 270 calories and SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD.

Today my whole days worth of food and drink was 160 Calories under the recommended 1300 ( Including Dessert!). This is amazing because I have found through my food journal that my days worth of consumption is normally about 300 calories over ( This is my first whole week on the plan). But, that is what the journal is for so I know what to do so that doesn't happen anymore.

I use the Slim Fast menu plan as more of a calorie guideline. For example, most Slim Fast snacks are anywhere from 50-100 calories each depending on the day. So if I have 3 50-100 calorie snacks in a day a 180-200 calorie breakfast and 200-300 calorie lunch and dinner than I know I'm staying with the plan due to the caloric content of each meal item.

I think I may buy more Shake Mixes. There are a number of simple recipes for shakes to make at home with milk, fruit and Slim Fast mix that sound REALLY good. For example, Pina Colada Slim Fast Shake: -1 Scoop Vanilla Slim Fast Mix -3/4 cup fat free milk -1/2 cup pineapple juice Blend. Voila! I would so drink that on the weekend for breakfast.

Today I began an "Accountability Journal" or "Calorie Journal". Whatever you want to call it, it is a notebook where I log what I eat everyday and the calories consisted thereof. I am using Thedailyplate.com as a resource because they have an extensive listing of foods and thier nutritional values. At the end of the week I am going to write an assessment of said week and see exactly where my weakness's lie. I am already seeing patterns in the two days I have recorded.
