Dodging Obstacles
Journal May 17th, 2008Today is a challenging day. I have many food obstacles today but so far I have done well with dodging them.
Breakfast: We went to Chick-fil-A, but instead of eating something bad, I ate…. w/w bagel and w/w cream cheese!! I brought my own!! I did get some fruit, but that is a good choice! So breakfast was a total of 4 points.
We went to volleyball so I got some exercise there. Then brought the kids home and had LUNCH: w/w fiesta quesadilla - 4pts, cheezits - 3 pts, 1/2 banana - 2pts
So far so good!! I took the kids to the park to meet a little girl in my son’s class and her mom. We were there for about an hour, and although I didn’t “play”, I did walk around with them a lot. No sitting on the bench here.
I just did a marathon cooking session for a party tonight. That is my next challenge. Parties are tough because basically if there is food in front of me, I’ll eat it. No matter what. To me food = eat. But it’s a potluck so to be sure I had something healthy, I made a veggie lasagne. I also made a vegan refried bean dip (with tofu instead of sour cream) and a Roasted Tomato Bean dip that is SO YUMMY! I also cut up some carrots and celery and broccoli to take with me to eat the dip with instead of chips.
That is my PLAN!! I hope to God I stick with it. I have to get a handle on my eating.
