Dinner
Bean Thing (*)
Mexican rice (basically rice with seasoning and a can of chopped tomatoes, 1/2T Parkay per serving)
(*)Bean Thing: Chop up an onion, green pepper, red pepper. Saute with garlic in olive oil. Add 1 jar salsa, 1 can red beans (drained), 1 can black beans (drained). Add 'sazon goya' spice. Stir.

For some reason I just ate and ate and ate today, but I mostly made sure it was semi-healthy things, at least. I don't know why I was so hungry, maybe I just was. Or maybe it's because I'm weaning myself off caffeine.
Scuttle - no, I did not journal while on vacation and I should have! Luckily I got a 'skinny post daily' about vacation today that made me feel lots better.
Okay. I'm frustrated at journaling. I've eaten a ton for emotional reasons and it just seems silly to record all the food I've eaten, but anyway.
Monday 7/12

1 oz cheese
4 oz LF yogurt mousse-style

Huge steak fajita (homemade, about 1/4 pound steak, peppers and onions, sauteed in 1/2 T oil, on a 10" fajita, with about 1 oz 2% cheese and 2T light sour cream and some salsa)
(Now, at this point I'm pretty sure I was full but I had cravings and kept eating) Munching
1-serving bag 'ultra butter' popcorn
1/2 oz peanuts
Hot fudge sundae from McDonald's
Another bad day. And Wednesday isn't much better. Okay, it'll be better when I get off this business trip and 16-hour workdays locked in a room with food shoved iin periodically!
Breakfast
Oatmeal
Veggie breakfast patty
Lunch
Turkey on rye bread, with mustard, tomato, and thin slice of swiss cheese
1/2 cup potato salad
1/2 cup cole slaw
1 1/2 chocolate frosted brownies (3" by 4" rectangles)
Okay, this is all psychological now. There were plenty of healthy choices but I'm just feeling like I've blown things the past few days, I might as well continue. Ugh.
Breakfast
Cinnamon roll
Lunch
Portobello mushroom burrito (fairly small, or at least, not huge) with a dab of sour cream
1 brownie
Snack
1 cookie
Dinner
Horrible ceasar chicken salad -- only ate a little of the dressing-drenched leaves and the chicken
Snack
1 - 1.5 oz peanuts
And to continue the trend of tempting foods, they're catering lunch tomorrow at work. I've decided that if I have to work to eat treats I won't, because I don't keep them in the house. But if someone sets them in front of me, man, I'll scarf them down. I have the willpower of a gnat...
Aha! Better. We still had pizza lunch and sorry, 1 slice doesn't satisfy me for lunch. And there was birthday cake, but I asked for a smaller slice than what I got which was more normal-sized, and just ate less of it. That's a personal victory for me.
Edited to add: And there was the late-night grazing.
