Lunch out with co-workers at one of my favorite places. I thought about going and sticking with a side salad... but knew that once I got there I'd end up blowing it. So I stayed in the office and ate the healthy food I brought! (saved money too
WOW Look at us powerful chicks! I said no to stopping at Tims and grabbing an iced cap on the way home from errands this morning! AAARRRGGG! That wasn't too fun!
Today I realized that I am short a lot of calories every day (several hundred) and for a split second I thought - "I could eat a couple of candy bars. . . " but I didn't. I stopped at the store on the way home and bought some almonds and walnuts so I'm adding in some healthy calories.
My mother and I went to Panera Bread for dinner, and instead of a a whole sandwich AND soup in a bread bowl, I had half a salad and half a sandwich with an apple on the side and water to drink. =]
Today I went to attend a group on my old college campus. (I'm graduated now.) I was walking back home and realized I was hungry, and on the main road with all the food places. When I was a student, if I was hungry at ALL (and sometimes even when I wasn't), between classes, I'd stop and eat something... it was a habit then. But I kept walking... past all the places I used to eat... and I told myself... "yes... I'm hungry... but I don't want to fill up on junk." And I honestly didn't. I waited till I got home, then made myself some oatmeal with fresh fruit.
My eating has still been a little off the past couple days, but remembering things like this help me keep feeling strong.
I had to make my elderly mother a peanut butter and marshmellow sandwich today, it was so hard not to stick a couple spoonfuls of both in my mouth. I resisted, I'm so happy I did cause I would of kept going til it was almost gone!
