Still feeling great, but didn't do as well as I should have today. I was kind of in a funk and pretty bored so that led to eating some things that I shouldn't have, but it's ok I'm ready to move on from it. Let me just say that this whole "accepting my mistakes and moving forward" thing is really refreshing. It has made such a difference in my drive and motivation to keep up my efforts. Instead of letting a mistake drag me down, I accept that I'm in no rush to lose weight and the worst that can come of a mistake is that it will be losing weight 1-day slower than I would have. For the first time I feel in control of my weight loss instead of it being in control of me and it's a beautiful feeling! Even so, I have to keep myself in check and not get carried away and not be TOO accepting of my mistakes. I need to learn from them and try to keep them few and far between. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-1 plain oatmeal packet with some blueberries
*I seriously notice a difference between quaker brand and shoprite brand...shoprite tastes better! Also the water-to-oat ratio is a little off with the quaker brand.
-1/2c almond milk
*only kind of getting used to it
Snack:
-1 decaf coffee with 1/4c fat free milk & 1 sweet and low
*would not have gotten this except my coworkers made me go on a coffee run for them. But while they were getting lattes and pound cake, I felt good knowing I got regular decaf coffee with skim milk.
-1 sugar-free vanilla pudding cup
Lunch:
-2oz whole wheat penne with some fresh marinara sauce & 1/4c fat free mozzarella cheese.
*delicious!
-2 bites of kielbasa, 2 forkfuls of fresh sauerkraut, 2 cheddar cheese perogies
*a new polish deli opened up a couple doors down from where I work and their food is sooooo good and so fresh. I haven't eaten anything there for a while since my healthy eating started so when my friend brought a small sampling of food back to work I just had to try some. I shouldn't have eaten it but I enjoyed it whole-heartedly. Those are the best kinds of mistakes.
Snack:
-6 Auntie Anne's pretzel sticks (3 cinnamon sugar and 3 regular)
*Was at the mall. A friend offered to buy and I was STARVING since I didn't anticipate going to the mall after work so I didn't bring food with me. I looked up the nutrition facts on the auntie anne's site and what I ate amounts to 405 calories...so essentially a whole meal. I didn't want to overdo things so I pretty much made this my dinner. I'm at least glad I didn't go ahead and eat another full meal in addition to this.
Snack:
-1 peach greek yogurt
*Wanted to eat something around dinnertime so I didn't succumb to other cravings
Well nothing really more to add. Already made my meals for tomorrow, tried some new recipes and I'll try to take pictures!
