View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Today marks another milestone for my lifestyle changes. We have decided to have stuffed shells for dinner tonight. I prepared them last night and noticed that one serving is almost 600 calories. Since they are loaded with cheese, they are high in fat and sodium.
I logged them last night in my food diary and then worked the rest of my food today around them. My original planned meals would have been double my fat and sodium allowances, so I made better decisions. I am still over in fat and sodium, but I can't remember a day when I have not been. I just didn't want to be over by double! Not only that, but my fiber and protien are almost right on target, as well, because of the planning.
I am very pleased with myself. I didn't have any negative emotional reactions, either. I didn't feel deprived that I couldn't eat all that crap in one day. I didn't feel like it wasn't fair. And I didn't justify it by borrowing from yesterday's workout calories, either. Yay for me! And, we still have half of that cake left, and I know that I just can't have any today. I am okay with that, too! I made my decision to pick the stuffed shells over the cake. No one forced me. It was MY decision. I am in control of my body and the foods I choose to feed myself.
Update: Hmmm...peanut butter sandwich for lunch. I was a little disappointed by the sandwich watching hubby sit there and eat risotto pepper jack cakes. I did take a very small taste, though. They were very good. Note to self: next time I think a peanut butter sandwich will be good for lunch--MIX IT UP A LITTLE. I am grateful that I am satiated. It will hold me over until dinner. Oh man, I am looking forward to dinner. I LOVE cheesy, stuffed shells!!!
Oops. I forgot to bring my grapes with lunch. I'll get rid of those bad-boys from the food diary! Maybe I'll be able to have a small piece of cake since I didn't eat my grapes?
Maybe I should eat my grapes when son and hubby are eating the cake? 
LOL.
Hmmm. Didn't feel like having my granola bar just now. Now I am down a bunch of calories for the day. It's okay, I'm sure I'll find SOMETHING (cake) to fill in the rest of the day's calories....(mmmm...cake).
On a side note, BIGVINCE has been on my mind for a few days now...I wonder how he is doing? I am going to send him a PM and give him some encouragement.
