Today I started to fight myself and to feel deprived/frustrated/wanting to just eat whatever I wanted to eat. I didn't take time to eat breakfast early in the morning, so I grabbed a parfait on the way to an appointment. Then mid-afternoon, I was really hungry. When Paul called letting me know he hadn't eaten yet today and was checking to see if I wanted him to pick me up anything, I was really tempted to just go for a burger and fries. However, he suggested chicken soft tacos, which sounded good and helped satiate me. I still indulged in the last of the licorice from the trip.
In the evening, we had friends over to play games, I tried to plan food that would be yummy and still be good for us. I prepared a veggie tray, a fruit tray, and dips for each of them. Initially, I planned to do different chocolate dipping fondue sauces, but I thought it would be too messy, so I changed to dips. I had more fruit dip than I should have. :( While not as good as just sticking to the fruit and veggies, I do think I made better choices than I would have before.
You are amazing. It is so hard to eat well. I too love a huge burger and fries but I am doing myfitness pal and watching calories so I am being good also, we can do this together!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with that fruit and veggie tray for your party! Please remember that it's so important to eat throughout your day, not waiting for later. It'll come back to haunt you every time. Please make time for breakfast in your mornings, move that alarm up a few minutes if you have to. It'll really help! I may not be your trainer any more, but I'm still on your cheering squad!!! :-) GO RUTH!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. You know how hard it is for me to get breakfasts in. I'll make it a priority tomorrow. Thanks for cheering me on. :)
DeleteMo is so right Ruth. If you can get more calories in earlier in the day you will not feel so deprived/hungry later on. Remember to have plenty of protein at every meal/snack to keep you full longer. Great job in not giving in to the hamburger and fries:-) Will I see you in the morning for workout?
ReplyDeleteI know- I will definitely get in an earlier breakfast tomorrow. I'm starting this week with three workouts- MWF, so I won't be in on Saturday, but I did get my other three in. They were hard, but I did it. Yay!!
