I need to learn to be more aware of the times of day I tend to go off plan...basically night time. I did great til i got home yesterday...I could have done worse...so...i guess I am slowly improving. I am still maintaining anyways, And as I said thats my new goal for the holidays...If i lose great...but my goal is not to gain. Once xmas and new years are done and gone I am grabbing this bull by the horns much more tightly. There is too much I want to do when I get to goal, and I dont want to be my own worst enemy. Maintaining may be small baby steps for me...but I need to learn them. Tomorrow I start my workout schedule... 1 hour....really that isnt much...if i do it after Weigh in...i think that would be great...as well as motivating...right after my meeting and all.
I may have missed weigh in last week...but I have not given up...and if I have not given up I also haven't failed.
In other news...my bento box got here last night. I immediately, after a quick rinse and dry...packed it. Granted I didn't make any cutsie stuff to put in it just yet, but I definitely will. I packed spaghetti squash with sauce and parmesan cheese in the top tier, and in the bottom i have 2 morningstar sausage links (NOT REAL MEAT HEHE) and carrot sticks. I also have about 4 small clementines in my bag. Those are the only things I packed extra, since they are yummy fruits. OH! and I also put one of my pretty napkins in the little utensil spot on top of the top lid. I bought a pack of these black napkins with with white dots going in a circle from IKEA for i think a dollar and change. I have been wanting to use them...so last night i thought why not have special napkins to go with my yummy lunches.
Another thing to note is Bento boxes are WAYYYY smaller then they seem to be in the pic...but then again there was nothing to compare it to scale-wise in the pic. I emailed the lady i bought it from to see if thats the standard size since im curious :). I was definitely not dissappointed in it...It just amazes me how large portions for an american lunch box can be in comparison and to me feels like lesson well learned (PORTION CONTROL!) hehehe.
Well I will post when I hear back from her. I am sure Ill be buying more bento stuff regardless! My bento box has already gotten nice comments from co-workers. one wants to get his daughter one for lunch. great way to teach kids healthy habits early on, such as portion size :).
this baby definitely isnt carrying a supersized meal :)
