Well, this weekend did not go well as far as eating but went very well for exercising. On Friday afternoon as anticipated I went home and ate hummus with pita bread (2 pieces of pita bread) and then also had some potato chips. I ended up falling asleep before eating dinner. So, when I reflect upon my day, I would say, snacking on something that I already know is not a good choice lead to a second poor choice. I need to figure out a better snack after work. Also, because I was running around with Megan later than I expected, I ended up getting so tired, I didn't exercise on Friday either. So, what can I learn from this. First off, I should have exercised before I ate. I had plenty of time to go for the walk I wanted to do before I picked up Megan but choose not to. I can learn from that.
On Saturday things didn't go great either for eating but I did exercise. On Saturday morning I walked for 5 miles when I woke up! That was great work on my part. I came home and had some breakfast which was a scrambled eggs with vegetables mixture. Then everything went downhill for the remaining of the weekend. Starting with lunch at Burger King with a fried chicken sandwich and "low fat" french fries. Then dinner at El Palacio which I started with chips and salsa and then had a full order of chicken fajitas. On Sunday things were not that much better. I walked around noon for five miles with Mike and then had a good lunch of salad with turkey BUT then had humus with one pita bread and doritos. Followed by a snack of the remaining wheat thins and then dinner of spaghetti with 2 pieces of bread. Seriously, I don't think I could have fit in more carbs. Wow, not a great weekend for eating.
Today is starting out better. Breakfast of oatmeal, fiber one bar and soon to be an orange. I really am hungry. I think about my hunger a lot. I need to figure out something to curb my appetite. Ate a small package of skittles. Hmm, didn't even think about that orange that I can eat. Will eat that now. Plans are to go to trainer tonight at 5pm. Kids will be home tonight so will have grilled chicken with elk steak tonight. Peeled orange, eating it now. Definitely curbing my appetite even though it's not very tasty. Oh yeah, and I still haven't weighed myself, not even once. Need to figure out how to get in the routine. Would like to see some results. Interesting, I am working along and am thinking that I'm hungry, but in actuality, when I really think about how I feel, I am not feeling hungry at all. I just see the snacks and think I would like to eat them. Interesting. Not a good idea to have the candy on my desk. I just put the candy out of sight. Should help out.
Just finished the salad part of my lunch at 1:59pm. Hungry, but not famished before I started eating. Did take some of those pills before eating. I think that has helped with my hunger quite a bit and did NOT give me a stomach ache nor has it made me lose focus either.
