Today was a success, and I think it's because of the positive outcome of last night. I know I keep saying this, but seriously, I think I've really changed my way of thinking with food! I feel like I can still love food, but I don't want to eat as much of it like I used to. Once I get a taste of it, I'm good to go. Can we just all say this together? IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
Earlier today I had set a goal of playing on the Wii, well that didn't happen. Instead Mom and I went shopping (and you know how we shop. If you don't, then watch Confessions of a Shopaholic. Powershop much?) and I really think shopping should be on the iTouch as exercise! At least for us it is!
Food wise I did great today! Mom made a very healthy but filling breakfast. So much so that I didn't need to eat lunch - just a snack! She made egg beaters (about a cup), bacon (probably turkey bacon), and hashbrowns. To get in my fruit I had grapefruit with it instead of my usual juice! As a snack I had grapes and lots of water. We had the Seyfrieds over for dinner (including Ashley!) and had a big dinner which filled the rest of my calories for the day. Ham, baked carrots, mashed potatoes, peas, applesauce, and apple pie! YUMMMMMMM! But at the end I was putting my calories into my iTouch and Uncle Larry yelled at me for playing at the dinner table! HOW RUDE! lol
I know I never really fully wrote about yesterday, so let me tell you a few of my highlights from yesterday. First of all, I had a small breakfast. I had eggs this time! I had eggs over easy, but instead of having 2 eggs, I had 2 egg whites and 1 yolk. I made lunch since I was at work, and I had a sandwich, melon, and yogurt (oh my goodness! So good! Kraft Yogurt Parfaits, I had the cherry chocolate... Amazing! And only 100 calories!)! The dinner was a little rough, it was all finger food. But I stuck mostly to chicken and vegetables, so that was good. There were a lot of like chips and dips, but I only put a little bit of that on my plate, and it shows on my calories that I didn't over-do it! So proud of myself! The worst part of my day was drinks. Usually I drink water, but with the party last night we had all kinds of wine and alcohol. So I took an occasional pudding shot (too too strong, probably shouldn't have had any at all, but that's ok.) and stuck mostly to wine. Let's just say that after seeing the caloric intake on alcohol, this won't happen again! Not to mention the headache in the morning. Yikes!
So my first successful weekend! Very proud of myself. I'm on my way! :) Thank you again to everyone for all of your support, I really appreciate it! Especially my parents, they have been awesome about my change of habits. Probably because they've wanted to see this for a long time. But still! Keep the comments coming, they remind me that I have this support system!
Tomorrow is my last day of relaxation, but it's still going to be pretty busy! I have my student teacher conference tomorrow morning, then Kylee and I are going out to lunch (no worries, I'm confident now!), then I'm going to gym (maybe take a class?), then guard practice! Can't wait to see the tarp in our gym! Wahoo!
Stay strong!
