I am just glad today is over….
Daily Meal Journal No Comments »Today was not a great day. Went to a luncheon and they had Panera box lunches. I grabbed a box with a turkey sandwich, chips, and a great big cookie. The sandwich was good - I ate the smaller half. The best part about it was the bread, which was focaccia (spelling?) and it was so soft. I ate a couple of the chips - but then came the cookie. A great big cookie the size of an open palm. I ate the whole thing. The WHOLE thing and it was great. And a great big splurge. And quite unnecessary. But it was great and I never would have purchased a cookie to eat under any normal circumstances.
Oh if it could have just stopped there. I ended up staying at work until about 7:30 trying to get some things done. As it got later I just got hungrier and so happened to venture into the break room - where I tried some cheese popcorn (gift from clients) and then had a coke. What is wrong with me? How many calories are we up to now?!
Then I came home - and with my time of the month, lack of sleep, a headache that just won’t go away, and lack of any sort of patience - I ate some tortilla chips and cheese dip from a jar. Not a lot but enough. Dinner was some leftover spaghetti (I did measure a cup of this) and then some more chips and cheese. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
It is only one day and I should just let it go and go on. I can easily be back on track this minute - just keep pushing forward - forgive myself and go on.
So to sum it up here is my calories for the day:
Breakfast: Weight Control Banana Bread Oatmeal (160), 1/4 cup FF milk (20), WW English Muffin (with a bit of oleo and honey (140) (Total of 320 calories)
Snack: Granny Smith Apple (80) and 100 calories Cream Cheese Fruit Dip (180 calories)
Lunch: 1/2 Sandwich (400 calories), a couple of chips (60), and the cookie (450 calories)
should I keep going??….
Dinner: I cup spaghetti with 1/4 cup sauce and 1 oz of 99% fat free ground turkey: (250 calories - estimate)
Snack: Tortilla chips (140) and cheese dip (45 - for 2 tbsp), a coke (140), and cheese popcorn (60)
And the GRAND TOTAL: 2045
YUCK. But I wrote it down so that is a positive.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
