Here we are on Hump Day of Turbo TakeOff. I'm adjusting pretty easily to the drastic drop in caloric intake. It's definitely easier during the work day. I am, however, counting the days until Sunday when I get to eat more food.
I'm pretty excited that I'm done with the muffins at breakfast and the bars at lunch. At least for this Turbo TakeOff Week. I did this by design. You know I'm a planner, right? The next four days will be bars for breakfast and soups for lunch. Feels more like real food that way, don't you agree? In addition, my company has a cafeteria where I can get a big salad to supplement lunch. Sadly, these "salads" are veggies only with a little lemon juice and/or balsamic vinegar. No good stuff like cheese, eggs, croutons, and beans or chickpeas. Definitely no yummy, creamy dressing. But still, the bulk helps with the hunger.
I was also thrilled that this morning's breakfast bar was the first bar I've had (out of six) where the first ingredient isn't "soy nuggets" or "whey protein crisps." Praise the lord, the first ingredient in the Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar is rolled oats. Yeah, I was prematurely excited. It tasted like cardboard. However, I'm counting myself lucky that this is the first item that I felt this way about.
In addition, I've chosen today to have the extra Chili with Beans dinner they sent me as a replacement for the Chicken Noodle Soup lunch. This may not sound like a big deal, but "dinner" items pack about a 250 calorie punch versus the 150 calorie "lunch" stuffs. It's gonna be a party in my belly today!
Breakfast - Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar
Snack #1 - Chocolate Turbo Shake
Lunch - Chili with Bean (technically a dinner option but as you may recall, they gave me an extra instead of Chicken Noodle Soup)
Snack #2 - Peanut Butter Chocolate Crush Bar
Dinner - Chicken Pasta Parmesan (again, with added roasted mushrooms. I could eat those all day man!!)
Height: 5'5"
