We had a nice family day at my house today. It is strange but nice to have my husband at home all day. I still feel sickly, but i am not letting it get me down too bad. I have eaten all day. I don’t know who these people are who don’t eat when they are sick. I have never done that. I just eat right thru any ailment that i have. My husband and daughter don’t eat much when they are sick. They are both high metabolism perfect bodied people. I guess that just shows that it’s the food addict in me that eats when i’m ill.
I hate to even add up my calories for the day, but i am committed to sticking to keeping track of that if nothing else.
Day total: 2 pc turkey sausage (120), an egg (70) and 1/2 oz of fat free cheddar (22) on a whole wheat english muffin (130); i drank maybe 5 cups of coffee (25) with splenda and cream (100) then i had a pkg of ramen noodles for lunch (380); for dinner i fixed my first standing rib roast, it was delicious: approx 8 oz of prime rib (450) with 1/2 serv of long grain & wild rice (120) and a serv of peas (60), followed quickly by 4 of the last truffles (400) and then topped off with an approx 8 oz glass of arbor mist wine (170) and i am now having another 5 oz of wine (106). that is a lot of food… 2153 calories.
I guess it really could have been worse. Tomorrow i hope to get up with a new attitude. I know i’m going to have the leftover prime rib for dinner, so i will will skimp a bit on breakfast and lunch to make room for it, plus i will switch back to the fat free half n half, that would have saved me 50 calories today. I will call it quits after dinner and save my wine for next weekend (i hope). It is hard for me to resist the wine, but if i have just 1 glass i know i will have another, so it is best to save it for a week. I really need to run to the bank and pick up a few groceries tomorrow, so skipping the fast food will be tough, but i am gonna have to break that habit before spring semester begins in a few weeks.
If i put my mind to it i can lose 10 pounds and break my empty carb and fast food addictions before i start classes on Jan 12th. I believe i have just set myself a mini goal! I’ll weigh myself in the morning and start from there.
