CHOICES!
Man today was a difficult day food wise. Breakfast, lunch and snacks I made it through but tonight I made Cube steak and mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese for Keith and the kids. Keith has had little to no beef products in the last three months so I gave in and fixed them a very unhealthy dinner.
I chose to take one bite of his cube steak and gravy (ONLY one bite), have a half cup of mashed potatoes and a lean cuisine for myself. I know I probably could have gotten away with eating A SERVING of the cube steak and gravy but I won't. Yes, I know the prepared foods have their own drawbacks but I was pushing it with my calories today. Before dinner I had taken in over 700. Not bad considering but I really try to stick to right around 1200...no less but not a whole lot more either. I know I could probably get by with about 1500 but this isn't about getting by.
Anyway, I think I made the right decision. And tomorrow night is salmon. I can't wait. I have never really cared for salmon but have learned to really like it and learn new ways to prepare that make me feel good about eating it. However, talapia is not something I think I want to eat a whole lot of. I will buy it and eat it again but not like we did last month LOL!
Anyway, I noticed I am eating a lot of carbs so going to have to watch that. I realize that I am counting calories, but my carb intake has been really high with my protein intake kind of taking the background. Seems that happened when I moved to eating those Fiber One muffins for breakfast instead of turkey bacon, egg, and wheat toast. That being said, those muffins are really awesome :) 190 calories is a lot for one muffin, but with all the fiber, I usually feel full for 3-4 hours after eating one. Going to finish out the ones I have and try not to buy anymore...I really need the protein I got from eggs.
The fudge apparently did kick my butt as the scale suggested this morning. However I realize my weight flucuates a lot during the week so not going to have a cow...yet. I do realize I've been slipping a lot and that's fine. However the slipping has to go. I am doing this for a reason and I want to continue being successful at doing it.
How are you all?
Anyway, got a final to get to working on and some homework to do! Time to get off here and get busy :)
