A Good Start

This morning I woke up remembering every word my sister and I talked about last night. She even called me last night after I got home from work and yelled at me when I told her I had Taco Bell AND soda for dinner. Going to the fridge, the first thing I wanted to take out was Pesto Pasta left over from the other night. Although it would have been alright by my sister because it was whole grain, I decided to try not to have carbs for a while unless I was in dire need, then to use the ones she wants me to eat. So far today, and what I plan to eat for dinner, is all under 800 calories. I feel fine and full currently and it's amazing how better things will fill you up for less calories. I'm fighting hard right now because I do have temptations and I just need to get over it. I got a salad from Jack in the Box with grilled chicken and the balsamic dressing. It, plus the side salad for dinner, came with crutons, so I threw them at my boyfriend to get the temptation off my desk. The salad was good, but it's weird because I usually get the Southwest salad and use everything. Dressings are totally different and no crutons. I just have to keep reminding myself that I need to stay strong and that this will only help me in the end. I can do this! What I have planned for dinner is the Jack in the Box side salad. I decided I'm going to mix the Quinoa into it and then break the tilapia and mix it all together under the dressing. I just hope it keeps me going at my second job tonight, and then I can go home after 9 something pm and relax.
