Yesterday--attempting to eat less white stuff
Breakfast: Banana with PB2, wheat bagel thin with ICB, milk
Exercise: walk to work--good kettlebell workout
Snack: 6 slices deli ham with fat free cream cheese
Lunch: Whole can progresso tomato soup. Brought 15 kashi crackers (very healthy), got derailed by co-worker who brought the most magnificent pretzel rolls--the crackers didn't stand a chance. Had pretzel roll about 1 to 1.5 oz cheese and 1 cookie (I had brought two but was done)
Snack: sm drk chocolate
Snack: plum and some of those crackers
Dinner: New reciepe: Polenta--never made it before, just fried it up in a little canola oil. Had spaghetti sauce on top. 1/2 pretzel roll. Cabbage salad with feta and olives.
Miracle---didn't finish all my spaghetti and polenta. This is the plus side of not counting calories. I have only a rough idea of what last night's dinner was worth calorie-wise. I could have easily finished, but I realized that I was done both physically and psychologically. So I threw away what I didn't eat. When counting, I would have been darn sure to finish the whole thing.
Dessert: two cookies. Didn't need them. Ate them out of habit---although habit is here because I really like dessert, so yes, I wanted it. Could have eaten 10 but I really don't usually do that kind of thing (4 or 5 yes, but not 10).
Note---the day was really heavy on the tomatoes, but it didn't seem to be a problem. It would have killed Dave.
Question? So was this a good day? I don't think I will lose weight. In fact, I'm afraid it caused me to put on a little weight. BUT I think the food was pretty healthy overall. I was full and content. I was mindful enough to not eat both lunch cookies and not finish dinner, and not all of the kashi crackers either. But what it it was too much and I'll gain weight? SHUT UP SUE ELLEN! What if I do? I am happy and beautiful AND because of that was able to make some good choices. Today I am happy and beautiful too and therefore am more likely to make good choices.
