Day Five

Started out strong, then lost it all after work. I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Breakfast - 8:00am
2 slices of white bread
Margarine, did not measure
Smuckers blackberry jam, did not measure

Lunch - 12:00pm
Salad from salad bar at Safeway. Included spinach, romaine, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumbers, and croutons, did not measure any of it out.
Honey Mustard dressing, did not measure

Dinner - 6:00pm
1 Burger King whopper
1 small order of fries from Burger King
1 Hershey Sundae Pie from Burger King
1 small Sprite from Burger King

Snack - 10:30pm
1 glass of Sunkist soda

As disappointed with myself as I am with what I like to call the "Burger King Incident" of today, I truly think journaling this stuff is actually helping. All afternoon, all I could think about was what I was going to eat for dinner and I really wanted to get a giant order of nachos like I had earlier in the week. I knew that would be a bad choice, so then I thought just about making myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner but the idea of doing that on a Friday night was a little sad to me. So, then I rationalized the salad I had for lunch and the fact that it IS Friday night and I should treat myself (there I go again). So, I made a bad choice but this time it wasn't as mindless as it might have been this time last week. Progress?

Journaling is also helping stave me off of eating at this time of night, like I mentioned in a previous post. I super duper want to go raid the fridge right now, but am settling for reviewing my other food choices from the rest of the day.

The next step, after getting off of these meds (just a few more days!) is to make get that blood work done and make some sort of official plan for myself. I just want to get to the point where I've lost a tiny bit and have seen some downward movement in the lbs department. I would hope that would motivate me to keep going.

FitBit for the day: 8,177. Meh.
