Hi Friends!!
My second day of tracking has been great! Truthfully when I begin something new, the first days are always great. It's the later days that are a struggle. I just hope that I can stay committed and upbeat later in the game :)
Last night after I posted, I ate my M&M's for my snack and didn't even want anything else. That is big for me! Tonight, I have my M&M's ready but I am already am thinking about sneaking a mini Nestles Crunch bar to watch TV with me. Did I mention that hubby Greg also is a chocoholic and we have candy everywhere in the house? :) I am determined not to eat anything else after my snack later. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow :)
Here is my food diary for today. Again, going way over on my sugar, but this time a lot of it was my grapes so that's not all bad :)
I ended up going over just a bit on my calories, but I think that is OK :) I think sometimes when I'm really watching what I eat, I don't eat enough, and my weight drops to fast, then when I eat just a little to much I gain it back so fast. Dose that make sense? It doesn't to me either, but that seems to be the routine I get into.
I am off to watch Dance Mom's which makes me so mad, but I just have to watch. Then Housewives of New York, which is one of my guilty pleasures :)
Have a wonderful night!!
xoxo

For the record, I've always thought M&Ms are insulin worthy! Just my two cents though, it might make sense to have a bigger breakfast with more protein to keep you fuller - just saying. I've been doing a protein challenge where I eat 30 grams of protein at each meal, and I find that I am not even thinking of food in between meals because I am so full.
ReplyDeleteI found you through Shelley's blog :D
You are doing great! I suspect that with tracking for a week, you'll be able to look at what you eat and figure out if there might be different options - but hey, if this is working for you now, then keep doing it! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a chocolate lover too. I have to be super careful about what I keep in the house or I will eat it all!! Right now I have Brookstone goji and raspberry dark chocolate. So so good and I don't overeat.
