Well today went pretty good. Before I went home for dinner I was sitting at only having consumed about 450 calories. I thought I was going to be in for a struggling night but I ended up doing okay. I was able to have some mac and cheese which I had been hungry for and didn't feel guilty having it.
Boss comes back tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to it!!!! Oh well - will get through it.
Here's how I did today:
breakfast very berry fruit and oatmeal bar
lunch ham sandwich on Wonder light wheat
1 TBSP fat free mayo
2 pickle slices
2 cups mixed melons
1 tomato - medium sized
fat free yogurt
snack cheese stick
dinner 1 ham steak
1 cup mac and cheese
1 cup green beans
snack 1 cup frozen yogurt
1 TBSP carmel topping
1 TBSP choco topping
2 TBSP light cool whip
Totals are: 1479 cals, 35 fat grams, 230.9 carbs - not bad but carbs a bit high
So I think I did pretty good today. Got a bit light headed in the afternoon because I hadn't eaten enough but I wasn't really hungry. The good things so far in the last two days - boss brought in salt water taffy she brought back from Colorado and left it in the lunchroom over the weekend - haven't touched it and I LOVE salt water taffy; had taken a bag of chips to eat with lunch but I told myself I wouldn't eat them until I had eaten all my healthy foods first - ate the healthy foods and was stuffed by the time I could eat the chips so they went back in my desk drawer. So my self-discipline that I have never had is doing well these days. I really want this weight off and I'm bound and determined to do it.
I was deeply depressed (well maybe not so bad) when I looked up what a turtle sundae was for cals, fat and carbs and I had some left to gain - just not THAT much. I LOVE turtle sundaes and haven't one since June. So dd and I went to go get some frozen custard at the local place and I guess this was a sign - it was packed, line wait was probably 15 minutes just to get to the window to order. So we headed back home and I had my fat free frozen yogurt here at home. Much better for me but OHHHHH how I wanted Ollie's!!!!! I'll feel better tomorrow for it.
Everyone have a good night - I AM going to read some journals tonight. Got started this afternoon and got interrupted with a thing called work - darned. DD has her appt tomorrow with the nutritionist. She had no fruit today and I had to ride her about it. Her totals today were 1455 cals, 51.5 fats, 167.2 carbs - just like her mother a bit high in the fats and a bit low in the carbs but good on the cals. Can't wait to see what the doc scale says!!!!
Keep on
