Weekend update....
The weekend was a hit in my books....Saturday DH and I had a "Date" night, went for dinner (I had one bloody Caesar, 8 oz steak, baked pot and yummy steamed veggies) and a show. I'm most proud of myself because of sticking to my "No eating after 7pm" goal since we did not get home until after 11pm. I wasn't hungry, but one of the big things I struggle with is night time snacking.....It doesn't take much for me to polish off a 85g of microwave popcorn WITH butter and seasoning....It's FF popcorn, but after I add the butter.....Oy Vey! lol
Anyway, I was rewarded Saturday morning with a 4 pound loss for the past week! I know quite a bit of it was water weight, but it just felt really good not binging and then beating myself up about it. It's ridiculous how much time you can spend obsessing over your bad feelings toward yourself. I actually had time to really focus on my kids and DH.....wow what a concept (insert sarcastic grin here...lol)
Yesterday was OK too. Although a little more difficult (we had pizza for dinner but I stopped at three pieces....I could easily eat five or more of this particular kind). I made a great veggie soup out of a magazine.....not CE but a Canadian one. My DH and kids even liked it!
Today though hasn't been the greatest, but it could definitely be worse. For breakfast I had two small carrot muffins and a mandarin orange. I had brought some homemade soup and a WW meal, fresh fruit and kashi granola bars, but some co-workers tempted me into going for dim sum. I didn't overeat and most of the items were steamed not fried but when I got back from the office I inhaled the jelly beans I had leftover from like a month ago....WTF? I was craving something sweet and didn't even enjoy them but for some reason I needed the sugar rush.....well I'm not feeling good now, that's for sure. I'm coming down and my pants are tight...lol
Dinner will be something light and as long as I stick to my "no snacking after 7" I should be ok.
