2 weeks off...Back at it

So after 2 weeks off the wagon, (aka MFP and logging things in) I am back at it. My weight this morning was 191.2 (I gained 3 since my weigh in for DietBet on Wednesday) In all honesty, I saw that coming. I cut my calories down to 1000 per day to "make weight" and as soon as I did, I went back to "normal" eating. I will still be counting my macros this week, but next week I am starting a cleaner diet program. Here is what my daily intake will look like:

Meal #1
Oatmeal (Night Oats: recipe to follow)
2 hard-boiled eggs

Meal #2
1/2 C Brown or Wild Rice
5 oz Chicken, Turkey or Fish
Dark Green Veggies

Meal #3
1/2 C Brown or Wild Rice
5 oz Chicken, Turkey or Fish
Dark Green Veggies

Meal #4
Protein Shake

Meal #5
5 oz Fish
Dark Green Veggies

So, I have room to play as far as what veggies I eat, as long as they are dark green, and what meat I eat. I can only use sugar free sauces (yuck) and no added salt. I can only season with Mrs. Dash or herbs. My water goal is 1 gallon a day... ONE GALLON! UGH! I'm not really sure how this new diet will play out, but I am willing to give it a try. I might be back to counting macros after a week or two.

So, here we go, on to the next chapter...

Here is the Night Oats Recipe:

In a clean glass jar (with a lid) add:
1/2 C rolled Oats
Cover the oats with milk (almond or soy milk will work here too)
1-2 t of honey
1 t Chia Seeds
1/4 C raisins

Put in the fridge and let sit over night. You can add anything you like really: fruit, maple syrup, cinnamon, whatever you think will taste good!
