I have been doing really well with eating well. I am not really on a diet, because diets are short term. What I am doing is for life. I had a bit of a challenge today. For breakfast instead of the regular oatmeal and peanut butter, I had scrambled eggs with basil, parm and tomatoes. I also had a wee portion of hashbrowns and a half a piece of corn bread. I had small controlled portions of each. Then for lunch, since it was the last day of work, we ordered chinese. Well the last few months I have had only healthy choices for chinese. Chicken and broccoli, pepper steak, etc... Nothing fried, breaded, etc.. But today, I had General Tso (MY FAVORITE) and about a 1/4 cup of the fried rice. I even had 3 quarters of a spring roll. YUMMY. Then when I got home I had 2 chocolate chip cookies and some guac and corn chips. I also had yogurt(low fat), milk (skim) and a jonagold apple. I ran my food through my food journal analyzer and it told me I exceeded my calories by about 150 cals. No biggie, but I consumed 40% fat over all and had way too much sodium and cholesterol. Well I went over about 40 mg with cholesterol, so no biggie. I didn't make the best choices today, but I have done really well over all the last few months. I did spectacularly for Thanksgiving. I will do well again tomorrow and Christmas day. I just really want to do well. I want to be healthier, not just look better. I have felt wonderfully. I am noticably losing weight. Everyone tells me that. I do need to exercise. I am doing horribly at that. But plan on going to a gym starting in January. I want to go twice a week at first and then build up to 4 times a week. It's hard with a little one and I have a part time job for tax season, plus I work full time to boot. My hubby is in school for his Master's. I am determined to do well and have life long results this time.
Thanks for reading.
