A couple of days ago I started the 100 day challenge, which is intended to serve as a “daily motivator to work with any diet plan”. I completed day 1 yesterday and will be working on day 2 tonight. One of the exercises was the “reframing” in which you take a belief about yourself and previous failures, and re-write it so that it is past tense and you create a new possibility for the future. Here are a few that I came up with for myself.
- I used to think planning ahead, counting calories and measuring my food was too much of a hassle, but now I find it to be very rewarding.
- I used to worry that I would have to give up my favorite foods if I “went healthy”, but now I have replaced my old favorite foods with healthier options (some of which are healthier, tastier versions of my former faves).
- I used to be afraid that I would regain any weight I lost sooner or later, but now I know that should not stop me in my efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Its not about the weight on the scale, so much as the food I choose to eat and how much.
Today’s Food Journal:
Breakfast: toast, butter, an early morning double espresso with milk, a midday espresso with cream, and a danactive.
Lunch: 3-bean vegetarian chili with mozzarella cheese and sour cream (and 5 life savers)
Snacks: grapes, string cheese, and celery
Dinner: Ahi Tuna steak with 3/4 cup basmati rice & soy sauce (pictured below)
Dessert: Jello pudding snack (choc & vanilla swirl)
See picture below. I made a tuna steak from Trader Joe’s, and it was delicious. Lots of protein, relatively low in fat and calories. And there was enough left over for dinner tomorrow too!
