Good Morning All...
I was looking over my weight loss history, and I've moved from angry at myself to sad. I'm back where I was last year in June. When I think about how optimistic I was then about this journey, and then look at where I am now, it's really upsetting. I worked so hard through the summer last year, and I let all that work amount to nothing. This isn't a pity party, but maybe something akin to grief at what I took from myself.
I am hoping that by this June I have things far more in hand than I do now.
Monday recap: Minor victories, minor failures. I got in all my water, and did my morning walk as well as walked for fifteen minutes after both breakfast and lunch. I'm struggling with getting in a short walk after dinner. Must try harder. Food wise, my only poor choice was to share in my kids' snack yesterday morning (goldfish crackers... I'm a sucker for salty snacks). Breakfast was Red River cereal with a few dried cranberries, a teaspoon of truvia, and splash of milk. Lunch was some raw veg (grape tomatoes, carrots, celery), 1/3 of an apple, and a chicken salad wrap. Dinner was a roast beef wrap (horseradish cream cheese, roast beef, lettuce, sautéed peppers & onions), a few fries, and salad with 2 tbsp Italian dressing.
Today should be another normal-ish day. It's Shrove Tuesday, so dinner is going to be on the heavier side. Pasta with peppers, onions, carrots, chorizo, and chicken in a cream sauce. I have a plan for lightening up the creaminess, but there is also dessert to deal with. A variation on King Cake.
If there ever was a day when I needed to make sure to get in an after dinner walk, it's today!
