Had dinner after being semi good all day

Well as you saw from my earlier post I pretty much stayed on target today with my diet.  I did have a snack of microwave popcorn instead of the ice cream bar that I wanted to eat.  I'm sooo good!


I just had my dinner from Freshology of BBQ Beef (nice and tender with sweet tangy sauce) with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and veggies (corn, squash, lima beans, onion, bell pepper) with ice tea.  All of that food for only 380 calories!  AND I get to have a tiny desert which is how I was able to resist the siren call of haagan daaz milk chocolate ice cream bar!

So this is the second day of my being on my freshology diet and am feeling good about my healthy journey.  I've been better about knowing what was are portions and have been putting thought into my grocery shopping.  I think I'll be done with the program the first week of June so need to start thinking about my meal plans.  I need to start looking for a low calorie recipe book.  Something that will make my shopping easy with the recipes and a list.

I've been remiss

I'm over the diet hump I was on after my yearly visit with my doc. She said I'd only lost 2 pounds since I'd seen her last (6 months ago) and it really upset me. I've been hitting the gym strenously for 3 - 4 times a week for about an hour. I've been eating healthier (less sugar, late meals, etc) and it felt like it was all for naught.

So I pigged out for the last 2 weeks on cupcakes, pizza, pop, fries and sandwiches. But a complete miracle happened. A pair of jeans I'd bought around Christmas that were 2 sizes too small somehow are now fitting! I'd gotten them as an incentive/reward for when I get smaller.

So now think that I'm firming up and losing weight slowly so no more upset eating! Instead I'm going to think of it as a marathon. Slow going but crossing the finish line will be so satisfying!
