Hmmm. I haven't been here much this week, though it's been not too bad.
B - cheerios w/skim milk, 5 walnut halves, ww toast with smear currant jelly,
S - 1" square of homemade shortbread...
L - going out with a visiting friend. I'm planning on soup/salad.
S - fruit or yogurt
D - salmon, broccoli, and ?
Grrrrr. I need a good talking to. I'm RAVENOUS today and I opted to stay and work at home rather than going to the office. In retrospect this might not have been a good idea. I made a giant salad with shrimp to have for lunch today and I'm using half my available mental energy to convince myself that I should indeed eat the salad waiting in the fridge and NOT go into the kitchen and make mac n' cheese from scratch. I've been having the conversation with myself for hours.
It's my period, I think. It must just be around the corner.
Baffled, what I tell myself when I feel like that is "Go eat the salad. If after eating the salad and drinking a big glass of water and waiting half an hour, you are still hungry, then make the mac and cheese." Usually after eating the planned thing I'm not hungry anymore (but not always).
After posting, I decided to kick my own *** and went to get the salad. Enough with the negotiations. I'm eating it now, and actually, it's very tasty. It's not mac n' cheese, but there are croutons in it, which ain't nothing.
Final count for Thursday:
S - the candy binge I mentioned before (396), but I did not eat the yogurt (-150)
S - slice of ww toast (100) w/jelly (40)
Total: 1610, not too bad considering
Exercise: 15 min walk on treadmill (3.0-3.3), 15 min elliptical, leg lifts/strengthening, lower back strengthening, pectoral fly (man I suck at this, I wasn't even able to do 2 sets of 10 at the lowest weight!)
Friday so far/plan:
B - quaker multigrain instant apple cinnamon cereal stuff (150), glass of skim milk (85)
S - apple (80)
L - woefully small portion of leftover pasta (180-ish)
S - orange (60), two yogurts (300 if I eat both)
D - ...probably leftover chicken (260?) with pasta (197).
S - half pomegranate (50)
Total (plan): 1362
Exercise (plan): 30 mins elliptical, upper back exercises

Yesterday was some off, as I ended up having a rueben sandwich for lunch instead of soup/salad, sigh. But the rest of the day was as planned.
Friday
B - oatmeal w/skim milk, 5 walnut halves, few craisins, ww toast with current jelly

S - yogurt? fruit? I have both at work
