I feel pretty good today! I weighed myself and I have lost a whole pound...might not seem like much, but the longest journey and all that...it has been a long time since I have seen the number on the scale go down! I guess it inspired me, or maybe I just found the trick. I made an egg beater and turkey sausage sandwich and ate it on my way to work this morning. I took a salad along for lunch and was only hungry enough to eat half of it. I didn't have anything else to eat till I was on my way home...an apple at about 4:30. My stomach has been bothering me a lot lately, indegestion...I don't know what it is caused by since I can't narrow it down to any particular food. I had a string cheese when I got home since I was waiting for DH to arrive so we could have dinner. I am thinking the protein for breakfast today helped keep me full longer so I didn't want as much to eat for lunch. That may seem like a no-brainer to some people, but it never really helped me in the past.
Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
