Reflection of day one.

So today, I went over to a friends house and we discussed my weight loss goals. She does meal replacement drinks and it works well for her. I know that I have to eat something otherwise I will not feel well at all. So I took her information and then we went shopping. We went to Mother's market, Trader Joe's and even Walmart. I was able to find the protein and fiber supplement that she drinks and grabbed some oats and mango's to make an oatmeal grab and go breakfast. I also grabbed a wrap sandwich and a salad for my lunches for the next 2 days. I am looking forward to trying things out and finding new ways to eat healthier and change my metabolism. I am excited to try this. When I came home I started to make my breakfast oats and my oldest son (22) said that he would try this with me, so I made 3 breakfast oats ( I made mine for tomorrow and Friday and 1 for him). We shall see how it goes.

The recipe is as follows:

  • 1/4 cup uncooked old fashion rolled oats (mother's market - by the lb)
  • 1/3 cup low fat milk
  • 1/4 cup low-fat greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp dried chia seeds
  • fruit (it says 1/4 cup but I noticed that I didn't have a lot of space in my half pint mason jar, so I put in what I could. This one has mango and raspberry)
variations:
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
or 
  • 2 tsp of strawberry jam

Calories - If you use the jam it is 230 calories. If you use the maple syrup it is 215 calories.
