So day 14 is here....that is 2 weeks on the new eating and exercise program!! WOOHOO!!!! Today went well, the pulled muscle in my back is improving(and the drugs help...lol!) so today I was able to hit the road again for my walk. I know on Friday night I always want to eat out, but did not want to blow the day completely......so I stayed good all day, wheat toast for breakfast, salad and grapes for lunch....and supper....JOE'S!!! Love the place, and have not been there in so long! I got just what I wanted...pasta in cream sauce with shrimp, clams and mussels....awesome!!! I ate less than half my dinner(but I did have a roll.......and a half) and feel totally satisfied! The craving is gone....now it is back on track! I realize that if I build this bubble and never go out into the world and eat those "forbidden" foods I am sure to fail! SO I am trying to live with moderation, plan the times when I will splurge, and try to balance them out with healthy meals and exercise! I am also trying to learn my triggers for over eating and dreaded snack attacks! I know that working at the store in the afternoons makes me crave CHIPS!! I could hurt somebody for a tiny bag of Lays....lol!!! So now I bring a snack with me to work, makes it easier to resist the quick walk over the Skip's for junk food! I also want to eat while watching TV in the evenings, and it does not help that I love to watch Food Network...HELLOOOOO????? So if I can't pass up that snack urge, I try to reach for things that are not too bad.... like fruit. And it helps not to have things like chips and cookies in the house! I have also discovered Blue Bell Fruit Bars...the lime is oh so good, and will not do near as much damage as a big ol' bowl of Blue Bell ice cream...lol!!!
There was no movement on the scale today....holding steady at 9 pounds :)
