Ideas for low-calorie lunches that are filling enough to carry you 6 or 7 hours?
I'm having a bit of trouble with my calories creeping up. I'm working out 1-2 hours a day but I'm eating more like 2200 calories and I want to be under 1800. I think my losses would be more consistent then.
I have a standard breakfast I like that is about 400 calories. Tend to eat 600-800 for dinner or so. I'd like to keep lunch under 400 too but I'm having a hard time doing so.
So I've been going crazy with my work situation. I started looking for a new job again, I have two interviews this week, one tomorrow, one thurs. I'm hoping I get offered both and can take the one that pays more.
-A good on plan day yesterday (90 %op). I pushed throught my sabataging thoughts. I wanted to eat lots of unplanned foods in the evening, but ended up going to bed earlier than usual. Some credits:
planned/measured/logged food
used distraction techniques
lots of water
did my exercises
ate seated, mostly
no seconds
left a bite
Today this came through on the Beck Facebook page:
Tuesday Reality Check: If you were driving on the highway and missed your exit, you wouldn’t think, “Well, I’ve blown it now,” and continue driving four more hours in the wrong direction. No! You’d get off at the very next exit and turn around. The same is true for dieting – the moment you make a mistake, turn yourself around and get right back on track.
Such a good reminder!
Today I am taking Mom to the doctor. I need to rehearse.
Even though I am not posting here alot. I am reading and wishing you all well.
Have a great day.
