My first day
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 11:23 AM filed under Weight Loss postings
Im off to a good start. Today is my first official day with this lifestyle. Im careful to use the word lifestyle and not diet. Yesterday was the day I signed up and figured out the website. I got settled. Toyed with the meal plans, tried to find some dinners I can make that my family will also eat. That was tough.
So this morning I got up early before work and went to the grocery store. Im typing this as I am eating a cup of cottage cheese and some grapes for breakfast. It feels weird bc I dont normally eat breakfast, too busy, not even hungry, why waste the calories on what could be used for lunch?
I did realize its easier to find healthy calories for breakfast. I dont know about you but lunch is tricky for me, its got to be super fast, and super delicious because im at work and need a pick me up. I have trouble with bread, so im not a fan of sandwiches. Salads are hard to make at work. We have a refrigerator here so I can make whatever if I bring my own ingredients, salad doesnt keep well. Basically the best choices are soups & frozen meals. If its not fast food thats about all I can swing for lunch, unless its leftovers from dinner the night before.
If I eat something I like and is good for me for breakfast, it seems like a good way to get my mind set on making good choices. I cant remember the last time I started my day by eating grapes. I dont wanna ruin that by getting nuggets for lunch, ya know?
It will be interesting to test my will power this afternoon against the Hershey Kisses that are taunting me. I cant remove them from the area cause that will mean they have won. I have allowed for them in my "diet". Ive actually worked it all out so that I can eat 20 Hershey Kisses and still be under my calorie restriction. However I obviously dont want to consume those 400 calories, but I do want to consume that chocolate. I will report how few I was able to eat...Im hoping for none, but I will be please if its less than 10.
I gotta go get some coffee and take my ming off of these kisses.
