And a Little Bit of Chicken Fried, by Maggie

Hey Slimmies,

So, today officially marked the first day of my life’s transformation. Time to get my fat rear into gear, lost this weight and become a healthier, happier me!

What’s changed? Well, today was the first day that I was pescetarian. What the f*ck is pescetarianism, you ask? Well, it’s commonly referred to as vegetarianism but you eat fish and animal bi-products. So far, so good!

For breakfast, I had two Source Exotik yogurts. So sweet and delicious and only 35 calories per container – yums! For lunch, I had – don’t laugh! – a Gerber baby food macaroni and cheese with peas and carrots Lil’ Entrée.

After work, Becks and I ventured to Toronto for the Zac Brown Band concert. The traffic in the city was THE WORST. Not only was the concert happening but also so was the CNE and the Blue Jays had a game too! It was a serious disaster and after travelling only 1.5 kilometers in 90 minutes and being unable to find a parking spot, we ditched the concert and decided on some retail therapy instead.  Plus, Becky’s bladder was about to explode all over my car so we didn’t exactly have time to drive around Toronto finding parking for Zac Brown. Sorry, bro.

At the mall, I bought the cutest pair of pink studded loafers at Forever 21. Picture to come, I promise! After that, we did some shopping at La Senza. Both of us got our breasts measure (38D) and bought some push-up bras. These puppies don’t stay afloat themselves, you know?

After emptying our wallets at the Eaton Centre, we went to Duke of Richmond, a little English pub for some dinner. We both got the half order of fish and chips. We’re still learning how to make pescetarian choices at restaurants. Even though it was deep fried, I think we had enough calories to consumer what we did.

Day one was successful and I am certain that we are only going to get better, fitter, more determined and more committed tomorrow and the days to come!

Stay tuned, slimmies!

PEEscetarian, by Becky

Becky here. Today was a pretty good day even though it started at like 1pm. I may have slept a tad too long (like 14 hours) but yolo? Anyways, it was mine and Maggies first day of Pescetarianism and we defs succeeded. Since I woke up so late, I started my day off with lunch: a veggie “chicken” burger on a whole wheat bun…MMM. It tastes almost as good as real chicken, cooks so much faster, and is obviously healthier. Plus, you get 15g of protein in as little as 100 delicious calories.
Then before going to Toronto with Maggie, I made myself a meatless 125 calorie “Turkey” cutlet with a nice salad. I was pretty scared to try the cutlet but it was surprisingly really good. I think I may have even liked it better than my chicken burger. I love trying all these meatless foods.
Just before we left to TO, Maggie and I grabbed some Starbucks (Venti Unsweetened Iced Green Teas, obvs). It probably wasn’t too good of an idea considering we later got stuck in traffic, ate some candy (Shit...) and I had to pee SO bad. We travelled 1.5km in about an hour and a half so it got to the point where I almost peed in my empty Starbucks cup. 

Although I was sad that Maggie wouldn’t let me, she did disobey a police officer for me...YAY (Thanks Maggie). In what seemed like forever, we finally got to the mall and I got to use the washroom (after butting 6 people) Sorry not sorry. We did climb about 500 (or at least it felt like it) flights of stairs to burn off some extra calories and we went bra shopping (Ou sexy).
To end off the day, we went to a cute restaurant and got half orders of fish and chips. It was honestly SO delicious. Never knew I liked fish so much. There may have been a point where I wanted to reach over to the table next to us and steal their nachos, but I didn’t (woo).
I am so proud that I have successfully finished a day as a Pescetarian and I don’t plan on giving up anytime soon. Good night, Slimmies!
