I saw a post from someone who has been wuite successful so far who said she's going to begin eating multiple 200-calorie meals throughout the day. Here I am "grazing" all day long--why does it have to be on McDonald's, donuts, and other junk? It's time for some hard-core planning, and it starts this week!
I'm going to make a bunch of sandwiches (I bought bread that has 35-40 calories per slice) and some salads that have calories marked on them. I also have 70-calorie cups of chicken n' stars soup. There's no reason I can't eat a good amount of calories throughout the day in healthy foods rather than all the crap I've been eating lately.
Oh, and all the times I've told people that eating healthy doesn't really cost more, I lied I went grocery shopping yesterday and spent $122, and it's just me and my boyfriend! I do have enough money to buy the good stuff now, though, for which I am grateful. I bought:
- light, whole-grain breads at over $2.50 per loaf (and the loaves are smaller than regular bread loaves that are like 99 cents)
- seedless red grapes (I like them frozen as a snack)--i bought 2 large bunches at $1-something a pound, and it came to over $9 at the checkout...for grapes!!
- 2 lbs. fresh strawberries--$5.99
- 2 bags of romaine lettuce--on "sale" for $3 per bag
- Natural fat-free yogurt (Stoneybrook Farms)--about $4 for 6 small cups
So anyway, here is my re-dedication to ME. The leftover pizza and Chinese food in my fridge will NOT be a factor during the week--strictly calorie-counted sandwiches, salads, soups, and other healthy treats. I could sure use a sprinkling of that good ole . I'm just so tired of seeing the ads for theme parks and thinking how much I want to go on those roller coasters and then having to face the reality that I probably won't fit I'm too young to let my weight control my life (not that it's good at any age, but you know).
