If I eat any more chicken [which I will] I will fly away! By the end of the week I'm sure I'll have grown feathers, wings and will by flying away with all the chicken I'm eating.
Minus the mess up this morning and the awful chocolates my job had lying around I stuck to plan.
Breakfast- Peanut butter crackers and 100% fruit juice (woke up too late to make my eggs or eat my cereal.)
Snack-chips..awful I know but Ionly had a handful so that was about 170 cal :X
Lunch:grilled chicken, yams & green beans
Snack: Granola bar
Dinner: Baked chicken, yams and an orange
Today at work we had an employee come back from Hawaii and she brought chocolates back and my co worker had a whole box..She doesn't like milk chocolate and offered me some...4 pieces later I decided I'd had enough. Sad to say it was about 400 calories :( I also fell victim to chips in the breakroom. Crazy thing is I didn't even think about what I was putting into my mouth until I realized I was enjoying it too much and so it probably wasn't good for me. What's with this thoughtless eating?? I put so much effort and thought into my menu ONLY to be victim to thoughtless eating of breakroom snacks, ugh! I understand they're being nice but it's not good for people like ME!
Anyone else battle with this??? Please say I'm not the only one!
Tomorrow's menu will include chicken SALAD for lunch and hopefully I'll get up early enough to make breakfast cause I sure didn't today. Oops!
Wins for today:
Sticking to my menu
Opportunities:
Say NO to break room snacks!
Drink 64oz of water, NOT 20!
Find more variety to eat before boredum kicks in
Exercise
Although I only had 1 win for today, it was a big one for me so I'm happy. I'm going to stop by Ross and see if the have any work out tapes. They have good diet books and dvd that are inexpensive. Which reminds me, I'm going to bring out my diet book I bought from there and USE IT! I'll update you guys on that tomorrow. I was too tired after 8 hours of work and an 1.5 hour of driving to stop by the store today. I'll do some plyometrics in my living room for exercise tonight.Tomorrow I'll get a tape to do some work out. I have carmen electra's strip tease work out DVD's from when a friend burned them for me years ago...Maybe i'll bring those out! Laugh if you want but they are a good work out..And the moves can be used ;) JK..Ok maybe just partly, LMAO.
Ok, I'm extremely tired...Now I see why I was in no rush to go back to work...I had 50 cases on my desk waiting to be completed and sent off. Nevermind doing others work they never find time to do *rolls eyes*
Hope you guys had a great day. I have to remember to make my doctor's appt. tomorrow.

NOT the only one!
I struggle with the mindless eating too. I think a lot of us do. What I read is that you will get much more enjoyment out of LESS food if you really pay attention to the textures and smells. And chew until it's liquid. Really enjoy the flavors. Okay, that sounds too much like work and it sounds like I'm molesting my food now. But, whatever works, huh?
I've wanted to try the Carmen Electra strip tease tapes. But I just know that the one time I try it, somebody will break into our house and see me doing it. OMG! I'd NEVER recover from that!
is evil!! I mean, normally we wouldnt eat it but we do since it's so yummy and free and so so tempting.
I actually stopped eating with my friends during my lunchbreak and now go workout at the gym instead, eating at my desk afterwards. They find it boring but hey, my health comes first...I know I'll be able to join them once or twice a week after I hit goal and workout 3 times instead of 5 times a week.
Can you bring your breakfast with you to work? I bring my cereal, milk, and banana to work with me in the morning and then eat it at my desk. I am never up in time to eat breakfast, but this way, if I pack it with my lunch I know I’ll eat it.
I eat tuna for lunch with my veggie soup every day. You may want to stock up on cut celery/carrot bags for afternoon snacks. If you have access to a fridge at work, you can throw in some yogurt, too.
I hope your week is better than your weekend, and that you've worked things out with your roommate.
YOU ARE DEFITNITLY NOT ALONE IN THE MINDLESS EATING AREA..ITS A PART OF THE WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY THAT CAN ONLY BE CONQUERED BY PRACTICE ...IT TAKES TIME . YOU JUST STARTED YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY AS YOU "MATURE" IN YOUR HEALTHY LIVING YOU WILL LEARN TO EAT BETTER, AND THATS NOT TO SAY THAT YOU CAN'T FROM BLUE MOON TO BLUE MOON A PEICE OF CHOCALATE..OR CHIPS..ITS NOT WHAT U EAT ALL THE TIME ITS HOW MUCH YOU EATKEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
I think most of us are guilty of mindless eating these days. If I see one more platter of cookies on my breakroom table, I'm gonna scream! After I finish eating one, of course! Just kidding! I have got to do better!
I had a bit of that going on last week. I don't know what came over me. At least you where able to stop and recognize what was going on and get back on track! About those strip tease tapes are they really worht it? If so I might have to try them although I wouldn't be getting them for the workout!
We have all done the mindless eating thing. It is really tough when you only eat 4 pieces of candy and realize how many calories it is you have wasted. (ha ha) I had a typo.....I had spelled wasted.....waisted!!! But that could be right also.
Get through the holidays with having a major food train wreck and then start kicking butt the first of the year......it's only two weeks away.
Holidays are a tough time to resist temptation, especially when it is all around you.
Blessings to you for wealth, health, success and peace. Chargail
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
