Tuesday's Journal
Today I did pretty good. I forgot to exercise, oops! I was so tired and my darling 2 year old woke up early and was really groggy still, so I took her to my bed to snuggle her warm. And well, we both fell asleep, lol! Then when we woke up so did the other children and then the day was started and before I knew it the day was over and I had forgotten. The lesson learned is that I HAVE to exercise in the morning before all the children wake up or it ISN'T going to get done, lol!
I also was in mourning today. You see, I learned that I am going to have to bid farewell to Costco's chocolate and poppy seed muffins. This was a very sad day for me. I love those muffins but haven't bought any because I couldn't find the points for them. Today I found out that they have 16.5 points (at Dotties Weight Loss Zone), and I just can't justify that. I know you are thinking just eat half or a quarter of one, but come on I have issues with food. I don't know how to 'Just Say No' to more than my part of it. So I sadly admitted that my days of pigging out on those muffins are gone, sigh. I know it is for the better, but it does seem so sad.
My sister and I had a thing for a while about going to the movies together. It was fun, but we haven't gone really since I have been dieting. It has been for a couple of reasons like health issues, and life busy-ness. But it has also been because I haven't been as motivated to go. It hit me today that part of the reason I loved those dates with my sister is that I got to pig out. We would grab some yummy food either from fast-food or occassionally from a restaurant and then we would pig out on popcorn, candy and icees at the theater. Of course I would always leave sick, but I didn't care. That was a lot of the thrill for me. Now that I am committed to changing my life, the pigging out part isn't an option and it REALLY makes me sick now. You see, I live in a small town with not very many eating out options and I am also the chef for our family. So having yummy food I didn't make and not having to share with six eager little people was a big thing for me. So now going to the movies isn't nearly as fun as far as food goes, but it can still be fun, as long as it is a decent movie. I also need to learn to bring some healthy snacks, but more importantly I need to learn to not associate watching a movie with eating. They are separate.
Okay enough rambling. Here is my journal for today:
1 slice ww toast with butter and peanut butter: 4
hard boiled egg: 2
cocoa: 2.5
1/2 cup mashed potatoes and gravy: 2
1/2 cup cheddar/potato soup: 3
muffin: 3
brocolli: 0
egg salad sandwich: 6
cocoa: 2.5
1 cup vanilla yogurt: 3
This totaled 28 points which was my target for the Wendie plan today.
