Sorry for not posting yesterday, I came home and pretty much just passed right out, I was really tired...so I'm including both days in tonight's post.
DAY 30
So yesterday I worked half of the day then went out to dinner. I'm proud to say that I did really well regardless of the fact that I went out to eat. I also didn't drink any alcohol either so that's a plus! I did have a bite of brownie but I'm not concerned about that. Here is what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast:
-1 packet plain oatmeal with half a macintosh apple chopped and a sprinkle of cinnamon
Lunch:
-1 Trader Joe's personal pizza: Garden vegetable (whole wheat crust, eggplant, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, basil & spinach)
*This was so good (albeit i'd give it an "F" for presentation) and really filling.
Snack:
-2 spoonfuls of minestrone
-1 Greek Yogurt
*I had originally just wanted the cup of soup to be my snack. But somehow when I poured it out of the can all I managed to get was broth and the remainder stayed at the bottom. Realizing there wasn't much substance to just broth I threw it out and opted for the protein-rich yogurt instead.
Dinner:
-1 cobb salad (romaine lettuce, blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits & hard-boiled eggs) with very small cup of vinaigrette with grilled chicken
*I don't think this was a bad choice at all. I opted for the vinaigrette instead of a creamy dressing, the eggs were good, romaine is good, blue cheese is fine, the bacon wasn't great but it was a small price to pay, and I made sure to add grilled chicken on top for substance.
Snack:
-1 bite of a home made brownie.
*it was delicious and worth it.
DAY 31
Today I filled in for someone at work and definitely had a workout while doing it. I was in a building where I constantly had to go up and down 3 massive flights of stairs and carry heavy loads around. I did that from about 9-12, and followed a mascot running around for another 3 hours. I actually also planned on going to the gym, brought my gym clothes and everything, then realized i forgot...sneakers :-( I was really bummed because I did want to go workout and I was totally ready for it! So instead I just went to shoprite and got Chicken Sausage, Turkey Burgers, low fat swiss, low fat deli ham, fat free mozzarella, fat free cheddar, sugar-free chocolate puddings, veggie burgers and almond milk. Tried to buy stuff that was versatile and would last me a couple weeks so I wouldn't have to constantly be spending money! So I'm happy with my purchases. Now as far as my eating today, I didn't do well at all. But you know what? I wanted to indulge myself today so that I wouldn't go completely bezerk and binge later on, and I really thoroughly enjoyed everything that I ate today and didn't take any of it for granted. In fact, eating like I did today just refueled my fire to eat well and exercise! Tomorrow is another day and I'm ready to take on the world again! Here is what I ate today. Beware, it's a lot. But I'm so proud of myself for being able to just move on after a day like today. That's a huge behavioral improvement for me!
Breakfast:
-1 kashi cranberry walnut bar
*Started off fine...
2nd Breakfast:
-1 strawberry croissant
-1/2 chocolate chip bagel w/ butter
-1c mixed fruit
-1 small apple juice
*Sugar much? So delicious though.
Lunch:
-Remains from the cobb salad from last night
-1 cup diet iced tea
*Wasn't so bad. Could have had water instead though.
Snack:
-1/2 raisin bagel (plain)
- A couple hot tamale candies
*This was because it was in front of me, not because I was really hungry.
Dinner:
-1c turkey chili (tomatoes, beans, ground lean turkey, jalapenos, spices) - home made.
-1 tbsp home-made guacamole
-A serving of home-made nachos (trader joe's veggie flax tortilla chips, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos)
-4 cocktail weiners
*Aside from the hot dogs, my friend tries to make healthy food...I think she definitely succeeded with her dishes! They were definitely healthy alternatives to normal superbowl sunday foods.
Dessert:
-2 glasses sparkling wine
-some strawberries with organic sugar on top
-1 italian "S" cookie.
*We toasted to the superbowl...even though we both dislike football.
You know what? I really enjoyed myself today. I don't feel guilty, I don't feel fat, I'm not upset with myself. I had fun, enjoyed myself with friends in a social setting and I didn't get angry or feel left out like I sometimes do when I'm trying to lose weight. I'm ready to move on to tomorrow and just keep on going!
