pleased with my food choices today

  • This is the first day in a while that I can post that.

    I intended to get a corn muffin and latte before running errands. That didn't happen. I didn't expect my errands to take as long as they did, and they included a lot of walking. 4 hours later, I rethought the corn muffin and latte and instead figured I'd save the $ and make an egg, english muffin and coffee at home. While on the way home, since it was just after lunch, a greek salad came to mind and I felt that would taste even better, and I had all the fixings for that at home too.

    Greek salad it was. Delicious.

    For a snack before dinner, I had some grapes and a cup of coffee.

    Dinner at the family's request (and perhaps they were trying to indulge me as I love pasta) was linguini (regular and whole wheat mix) with fresh tomato sauce, clams and shrimp, and whole wheat garlic toast.

    I'm under budget calorie wise and I hit all the food groups today. This brings me great satisfaction.
  • That sounds delicious!
  • Isn't is great to do that? I find that my biggest downfall in terms of food choices is impulse eating. If I can resist whatever it is I want for even five minutes, I often forget about it. I contrast that to when I give in and the guilt doesn't go away nearly as fast.
