Note to Self

Not eating for 9 hours and then eating an enormous Roti Wrap = TERRIBLE IDEA.

9:00 AM: cinnamon rolls and a sliced peach and tea

10:00 AM: 2 mile jog

2:30 PM: iced coffee and banana

5:40  PM: chicken marsala and roasted vegetables.  I had a hair appt and so got home really late.  I need to figure out, too, why I always end up feeling sick when I eat after a long break like this.  Is it just too much food in my stomach at once or something?

A day late, but at least it's getting done, no?  Hurray for Jenny menus for easy reference!  Also, one little win: I walked up to the box of mini shortbread squares, thought "Oh, they're so tiny, I could have one!" and then thought "No, there is no way on earth I will ever have just one".  So I didn't.

2:00 AM: bagel with tsp of peanut butter and sugar free apricot jam

Sep 8

Some pictures today, but not a ton.  I am bad at that.  Also, an interesting little self-insight.

8:15 AM: orange, tea and sunshine sandwich with salsa

12:25 PM: 2 slices of turkey, 1/2 of a homemade bagel and a shortbread square (about 1/2 square inch)
--Interesting little note: everything went wrong this morning.  I was late everywhere and stressed out of my mind. I had to stop by home and pick up my lunch and shoes for work (even though I wasn't even supposed to go in today...) and I had about 3 minutes there, in which time I ate the above items.  I was starving.  However, I have made it from 8 AM to 1 or 2 PM pretty much daily without a bagel or anything else.  But in my mind, I told myself I deserved to eat those things because I was stressed and my day wasn't going well.  I need to get into the habit of saying I deserve to reach my goals and be healthy instead.  Helpful note though: the bagels are 180 cals each (so 90 for half) and the shortbread square really was tiny.  So of all the stress-induced eating "binges" to have...this one was pretty small.  And I'm done now.

1:20 PM: tuna salad with crackers and peaches

3:30 PM: Anytime bar and tea

6:45 PM: soupitizer

8:00 PM: Classico Chicken Parmesan with roasted zucchini

9:30 PM: honey mustard pretzels...and 3 more "tiny" shortbread squares.  So hard to stop once you start...
