Today the sun still shines
Uncategorized March 17th, 2009Sometimes it is hard to find time to blog, but I’m trying.
Yesterday was NOT the most successful food day I’ve ever had (oh sarcasm). Breakfast was fine – English muffin and cheez whiz and coffee. Lunch was a turkey subway sandwich and I even bought some celery and carrots for a snack… and then the wheels just fell off my day. I also had a yogurt that turns out wasn’t low fat – with granola… and ate that with cantaloupe then I bought Sun Chips from the machine even though I wasn’t even hungry. And then had too much pizza for dinner. It’s like I am possessed by some sort of self defeating spirit. Omigawd.
Today is another day, though, and I need to let it go and move on. Breakfast (EM + CW) was the usual before going to the gym. I went for a walk at lunch because I had to go to the bank to deposit my pay cheque into my business account. And I got a small chicken shawarma for lunch. Oh and I had an apple for the 10:30 I’m starving hour. There will be no recurrence of the Sun Chip incident – in fact, the vending machine is dead to me for now on, though I really need some gum to kill the garlic from the shawarma. I had a pear to have later when the boredom of the day drives me to eat. Frankly, I think that is my problem – that I get tired and restless around 3 and then I end up eating.
This wouldn’t happen if I just planned out what I was going to eat and then stuck to the plan. I even know I shouldn’t do it as I’m putting the coins in the machine and I do it any way.
Am I serious about this or not?
The new plan is to have a plan. Plan. Plan. Plan.
If I want something later I can have my pear… or some tea… or some sugar free gum. I don’t NEED anything else. I’m not hungry and I can’t keep feeding those inner demons. They have already overstayed their welcome. Feeding them only makes them stick around.
On an up note, it is a lovely day out and I plan to enjoy as much of the sun as I can. Have a good day, fellow chicks!

I’m impressed with your diligence and planning. My *hunger* hours that feel like boredom turned out to disappear when I started eating more real protein at the previous meals. YOU are DOING THIS! Enjoy that sunshine! Delita

Your post could be my life. Planning food choices seems to be a stupid stumbling block for some reason for me. I can plan everything else…retirement, family, etc., but no food plan on a daily basis which is consistent. Why? Still the million dollar question. If you get it figured out, please, please post it.

I find myself eating at work if I am bored or tired!
