Not Doing So Well

Today is my "get on the wagon" day. Last night I had cookies and milk and polished off the remainder of Ruffles. I do okay during the day...but come night I am a snacker. I crave both sweet and salty snacks.  I have to figure out a way to satisfy those cravings without eating or over eating in calories.  Maybe I could make some of the 94% fat free Kettle Corn I think even a 100 calorie bag should settle the cravings as well as the added benefit of fiber....I think I'll try that tonight if the munchies set in. Have a lemon or cucumber water handy too.  It is time to move on and get healthy...

Trying to Remember

What I have eaten today....

Breakfast was coffee (2 cups) and a ham sandwich made with lean ham off the bone, 2 slices whole grain 45 cal slice bread and 2 teaspoons mayo and an orange.
Lunch I had guacamole made with a tad of lite sour cream, onion, garlic, a splash of lemon juice and spices and I used a 1 1/2 taco shells to scoop it up.
Supper was a made up casserole with Italian sausage, potatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic, tomatoes and cheese with whole corn.
Throughout the day I have has 2 cups herbal tea and 16 oz water.
Need to do better on fluids

Weekends Are Killer....

...This weekend we had a women's get together at church...so many yummies to choose from.  I tried to eat as well as possible...but when it comes to food like this, it easily puts me in binge mode.  Last night I went to my friend, Paula's house to welcome her middle child, Alec home from boot camp.  Again, delicious food and fellowship.  I think my issue is portions...I hate to throw food away and I find myself over eating, being a member of the "clean plate club".  Also if something really tweaks my taste buds it can cause harsh cravings...
It is Monday...the beginning of the work week and I have used my elliptical for 33 min...burned 300 cals and have had an orange...
I am going to have a healthy breakfast and get on with my daily schedule....

Father God,
I ask you to help me be mindful of the foods I choose today.
