Day 1 MFF 21-Day Challenge

Woke up this morning for my date with the bathroom scale.  It had been awhile and let's just say I was not pleasantly surprised.  My first task of the day was to drink the liver cleanse.  It is not something to look forward to, but easy enough.  The recipe used to include 12 oz of water which just prolonged the misery.  Better to just keep the amount to a minimum and get it down.  The vitamins were next.  Nine big, smelly pills.  Swallowing pills does not come natural to me and the biggest of the bunch needed some assistance in the form of my finger shoving it down my throat.  By the time I was finished my eyes were watering and I had consumed 12 of the 80 oz of required daily water.  I get to do it all over again at lunch.  Oh joy.  Sorry, don't know how to turn the picture.  A little help, Lauren?  On to breakfast...


This morning's first meal of the day was Migas.  It bore no resemblance to the fluffy egg, potato, cheese, tortilla strip Migas I'd had in the past.  I'm hoping my little container was the last one they filled and all that was left in the serving bowl was onions and spices.  If not, I can't say this is a meal I'd order again.  The onions and red peppers could have used a little more cooking as they were pretty crunchy.  Lots of spice--that's my overwhelming opinion of this dish.  The good news is that when I was done I didn't want to keep eating.


Part of this plan is you eat every 2-1/2 to 3 hours.  I'm getting close to my next "meal" which is considered a snack and I'm not hungry.  More than anything I feel water-logged from my attempt to stay on top of my daily requirement of 80 oz.  Maybe that's part of the plan?  I'm already dreading the pills at lunch...
