Day 4... What is going on?!

This is the breakfast that ruined my day.  A quarter of a cheese muffin, a small piece of a banana nut muffin, and a quarter of some fruit pastry thing...
My nice and healthy lunch - that I was too full of crap to finish.
Why... why did I eat half this cupcake?!
Whoops... that's how this morning has gone.

I am so much better if I just dont eat any crap.  If I eat a little... then I keep wanting more... and I have a hard time saying no.  Those muffin things at the top... I kept snacking on more throughout the day.  I didnt take a picture of every bite.  I probably ate double what you see.  I ate half my lunch.  Then I ate half that cup cake.  Ok.  Done.  My stomach feels gross... and I'm getting a headache.  I swear the more healthy I eat the more I can directly relate eating crap to feeling crappy.  OK... the rest of the day I'll be good.  If I can manage to just eat veggies for the rest of the day, I have derby tonight, and it should burn off enough of the crap I ate this morning to make this day ok.  Lets hope I sweat at practice tonight!

Dinner Day 3... and snacks... eek.

I forgot to take pictures of the food I ate last night... it started off fine for dinner, and then I got bored while watching tv and started snacking. *sigh*  I didnt end up going over my calorie goals since Kelley and I went running after work... but it definitely was a lack of will power day.  Did I need 2 ice cream bars and a small handful of dark chocolate?  No.  Definitely not.  But... I ate it.  I definitely need to just not have these items in the house.  Even if they're the lower calorie options and eating 1 is ok in my calorie restrictions, I apparently do not have the will power not to eat them. 

I think it's because when I'm alone, and I'm watching tv, throwing food into my mouth is a habit.  I get bored even though I'm technically doing something, but my hands aren't moving and eating just seems to be the thing to go with watching tv.  Anyone have any advice because I predict in the future that Wednesdays are going to be my challenging food days - my only alone tv night of the week.


Bolani for dinner, with sauces.  I didnt eat as much as this picture shows.  I had 1 bolani and a bit of the sauces.

Pretzel sticks and spicy mustard.  Again... I didnt eat this size portion, but close enough.

I had 2 of these suckers... delicious.

Snack

Looks appetizing doesn't it?   1 of those sweet potatoes was a snack for today.  They taste much better then they look.  I'm lucky I enjoy the flavor of sweet potato without any additives.  Bake and eat. :)

Gala Apple and coffee (not pictured, but it was black with 1 splenda) for breakfast.
Butternut Squash Soup and half a Spinach Bolini for lunch.
Woke up this morning HUNGRY.  We worked really hard at practice last night and because of it I think I was more hungry then normal.  I managed to ease my hunger pains with a shit ton on water. :)  Then I had my breakfast when I got to work.

I'm already seeing results on the scale and this is day 3.  I love it when I see results that quickly because then I have the motivation to continue.  Eating right and exercising... quite an easy formula for getting healthy - why did it take me so long to start this again?

Dessert was dried Mango
The last of the curry left overs for dinner
Wheat Thins for a snack - probably should have skipped them, but I feel like it could have been worse.  I ate 16, 1 serving.
Another snack - I was snackish today.
Kale chips again.  I dont know what happened to the picture...
Finished off my eating for day 2.  I'm mostly satisfied with how I did... but I would liked to have snacked less.  The longer days at work always seem to be the hardest for me.  I have to go through breakfast, lunch, snack, and late snack with the kids and my will power needs some work.  The Wheat Thins were the item I would have liked to have skipped.  Still not horrible,  I'll do better tomorrow. :)

I have derby tonight so I'll be burning off the extra calories I had with the Wheat Thins anyways...
