Sunday I didn't make the best food choices, but I did manage to stay pretty close to my chosen calorie allotment. I am trying to be more conscious of resisting snacking, tracking what I put in my mouth and trying to be really diligent about writing down my food intake. For the most part I am succeeding. It has helped that things have been really busy the last few days. Less time to sit around contemplating food.
As I'm writing this, my daughter Kendra looks over my shoulder and says, "When was that taken." I said yesterday. She proceeds to tell me that I don't look like that and that the picture makes me look tall. Well, far from looking tall, I am at least faced daily with a picture of myself that tells the truth - I've got a ways to go.
I am working on abstinence for the next four weeks, and as I defined in my previous post: abstinence for me is refraining from eating compulsively and eating with a healthy purpose in mind. I understand when you make the commitment to rid your self of a bad habit or undesirable trait, you must replace it with a good or positive habit or trait. I'm not sure yet what I am replacing my compulsive eating with, but I'm working on it.
Food today:
B: English muffing/egg sandwich and fruit
L: 1/2 turkey sandwich and salad
D: Potato soup
I walked in the morning, but I'm still not getting weight training done.
