So the husband and I went and saw a dietician and
nutritionist last Friday. When it came
time for the appointment, husband needed a little push, but I’m ready to get things
started and figured out and start meeting some of my goals.
I did successfully complete one of my tiny goals, which was
to not drink soda for the month of January.
And after meeting with the nutritionist, I’m just going to try to keep
that up.
What I learned was that I don’t eat enough. And I definitely don’t get enough protein (as
a vegetarian).
After coming up with a plan, one that we were kind of
already doing, just not enough, we went Saturday to Costco and spent nearly
300$ on fruits and vegetables.
The plan is two have two meals and two meal
replacements. This isn’t like Optifast
or Medifast or anything like that. We
were already eating protein bars for breakfast, so we get to continue
that. And so I can have either another
protein bar, or a protein shake throughout the day.
On top of that I have to eat two meals that consist of two
cups of vegetables, 30 grams of protein that I get from Morning Star Farms
veggie burgers or cottage cheese, and also some type of 100-calorie carb (like
a low carb, high fiber tortilla).
ANNNND I have to find some room in there for two fruits. Annnnnnnnd
plenty of water. And keep it all under
1100 calories.
Seems like math to me. I hate math.
But yeah, I was super full from lunch today. Hopefully this is a good plan for us and I’ll
see some changes soon. I’m also
considering signing up for Zumba… not sure yet.
