I am very nervous to start my new job Monday! I'm hoping I can stick to my new plans with all the stress and change in schedule. I've got my fridge full of some great things, though. Double fiber bread, a light herb/garlic cheese spread, lunch meat, spinach/lettuce mix, tomato, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, avocado, unsweetened almond milk, etc. I figure if I have just as many good options in the house as others are bringing in bad ... maybe I'll find it easier to choose the good.
I know it isn't the best, but I also realized those prepackaged smoothie mixes make the whey powder we have MUCH more palatable. As it is, I find it revolting. :/ But with that smoothie? I felt genuinely full, satisfied for hours without the desire to much. And it was nice to get more protein in me, esp. in the AM. Not perfect, but for now with how I'm "spending" my calories, it doesn't seem that bad. Later on when I hope to scrutinize my carbs/fats/proteins/sugars a little more? Ehh, probably not going to love this option.

I had a LONG day, it's been stressful and busy. (But hey, I got a new job!)
I wound up getting a Luna protein bar before I left, then not eating until 4:30pm. I caved and got Taco Bell to be cheap and easy. :p You'd think I enjoyed it, right? Instead, I have the worst headache from the stupid soda drink! I've not had it in a bit, and being kind of dehydrated from the day as it is ... yikes. It was not a great meal, it felt like the biggest waste of gnarly calories and fat/carbs/etc. I'm sitting here thinking "Lesson received." :p This feeling is what I hope I remember next time I consider TB to be quick. :p

Ugh, is it just me or has instant oatmeal gotten worse over the years?
I love oatmeal, but I don't always have the time. I was kind of excited over the high fiber and weight management instant varieties, but dang ... it's like they don't dissolve well these days. (I used boiling water.)
Bummer! I guess maybe I should consider if I want oatmeal for a work-week of mornings, and making a batch up on Sunday night.

So don't think my McDonalds dinner was some kind of reward. :p It was more of an unavoidable fate when I agreed to help a friend who had no food, on my way over she called from McD to ask what I wanted. I know, I probably could've done better but I didn't want to tell her I was "dieting" and just went with it. I was full (lots of water!), satisfied, and going about things pretty normal. So hey, not bad! Partly my fault for not yet deciding what to do about fast food. It's like a necessary evil of my life. At least CarlsJr has a grilled chicken no-bun option.
Anyway, I was pretty glad I made it near my goal calories :) I'm guessing before FatSecret I'd pack on an extra 1k minimum if I grabbed McD with a friend on top of who knows how many other cals. Eek.
Oh, and all this salt intake might be a lesson in itself. I want to be more aware, but I'm not ready to nitpick my intake yet. Learning about how much I should be eating every day is going to be step one for me.
I'm doing great with the water, my first little goal. I'm getting used to having more of it, and for reaching for it vs some other kind of drink. Can't say I'm missing whatever else I had been drinking.
Now I'm going to browse FatSecret for a bit. My stress level is climbing so fast, it's all I can do not to munch on something! Maybe I'll go make some ice. :p

1 pound
Yeah, just a number. And with a few pounds, I always think water weight (plus or minus).
But ... then again ... 1 pound!
I'll take it. I'm going to try the weekly thing for a little bit, but if it makes me start to focus on numbers I'm quitting that in favor of monthly. I can see and feel my weight, I think that matters more to me than the scale.
