    @starfishwendy ... lame! I'm sorry you wasted your goods on a terrible smoothie! :/ How irritating.
    Hopefully you'll get some good ideas! Mine are high in sugar, so would be unpopular, but it's the best way for me to get a jumpstart on my veggies, and get all the good stuff in my diet. Aside from smoothies and a v8 juice I make, I eat salads and potatoes, and that's about it.

    @L_Master said "...has been doing about 50k steps/day average...." Oof! 50k!!! Good grief. That's huge. :) I do a measly 10-14 miles per day, usually.

    Today I had coffee for breakfast, but it was a conscious choice because I was meeting girlfriends for an early lunch. At lunch I choose a grilled salmon wrap with side salad (instead of fries). I feel good about that choice. I snacked on fruit this afternoon instead of grazing on the other high calorie, low nutritional options.

    For a day 1 I am feeling fairly pleased. :)

    Hey team, it seems like all of you guys are sleeping when i am up :P this time difference is a strange strange thing, so for monday i had omlete wrapped brown bread for breakfast with milk. I forgot to take pic, oh well. Today is my gym day, i'll be walking to my gym instead of taking metro to fill up that 1 km walk.

    @dujyandco that's and awesome start.
    @L_Master that lunch sounds yummy.
    @justrollme ive got to try that soup :)
    @HealthyGinny you're breakfast is really super super healthy. I love having fruit in the morning.

    Thanks!

    Quick question, today was the first time I even found out there was a macros tab under my daily nutrition. I see how that is useful Info for me to have. Wondering though, how do I use that to input for the challenge?

    @beeruin you need to have a macro that you're focusing on, like i focus on protein, so my target daily is to have atleast 70 grams of protein, if i hit that thats a 100% success for me on that day

    Hi Guys! Day 2 of the challenge :):):) let's do this!

    @L_Master: love your lunch yesterday!!
    @justrollme: that recipe sounds lovely!
    @sue_01 : I had porridge this morning too :)
    @starfishwendy: nice Xmas present, and yes do try chia seeds if you can! <3
    @dujyandco: awesome first day!!!! wtg :)
    @beeruin: great decision!! hope early lunch was nice!
    @night_watcher: yummy omelette! :)

    Yesterday (1st day), I was able to do the 4 challenges (had 11 glasses of water, walked a bit more than 8000 steps, had 5 servings of fruits and vegs, reached a bit more than 60% of my protein goal), and I had a healthy breakfast so I am glad!

    Today, I will walk the extra km tonight instead of taking a bus. At least, that's my plan.

    Have a great 2nd, guys!!!

    xx

    [quote=

    Today's combination is spinach, carrots, banana, blueberries, orange juice, plain, no-fat greek yogurt (my next container was in the freezer, so had to take it out and use the tillamook this morning), mango, and kiwi (most all organic, if that matters to anyone besides me).
    I eat/drink all of it, unless my daughter wants some. Usually over a few hours, depending on how much it makes. :)[/quote]

    This is beautiful!

    I forgot to post my breakfast yesterday, 3 whole eggs scrambled. I donate plasma 2x per week and I feel like having eggs before I donate makes me feel better afterwards.

    Good for you! I love scrambled eggs. And omelettes. Can't forget omelettes. :) And you reminded me that I need to make some hard-boiled eggs for a quick emergency snack--thanks for that!
    Thanks for the compliment, kd!
