Sunday day 41

Wow has it already been 41 days!!!!

Thursday I had a hard time blogging after therapy. My therapist is working with me on some of the reason why I eat emotionally, and how I can learn to curb that. And how I can make better choices and not let the environment affect my eating. Ok so back to Thursday. The things we talked about really upset me. I left there around 8 in the evening. I hadn't eaten dinner yet. I needed to use the restroom and started to pull into a McDonalds and run in to use the restroom. Knowing I was upset and that I would make bad choices, I instead pulled into a grocery store parking lot. I ran in used the restroom and purchased nothing. I instead drove home. Once getting home I decided it would be better to calm down and deal with my emotions before eating, since I knew that I would eat unhealthy because I was upset. I did calm down after an hour or so and finished off my evening with a tuna salad sandwich, and baby carrots. I total of 8 points. By calming down I made much better choices, and felt better about the whole situation.

Friday was crazy busy with back to school, I skipped breakfast, and at lunch out... BIG mistake, I paid for it all afternoon. I ended my day Friday with 42 points, not bad, but I did go over my goal.

Saturday was pretty good, until dinner. I am working at educating my family on portion sizes and what I am willing to eat. Casseroles are big around here, lots of mouths to feed and the are cheap and easy. Only they are costly when I am counting my points. I ate with everyone else but I really over did it with the casserole. I ended my day with 38 points but really didn't feel good, too much casserole for dinner. I only took part of my supplements, I missed my noon dose.

Sunday I have had a rough day, I think I am still feeling the affects of too much casserole last night. I was nasty grouchy this morning, also stayed up too late. Breakfast I did good, Special K cereal and milk. I crashed before lunch not enough protein for breakfast. We went to Subway, the breads and the meats really add up, I came home and slept for 2 hours, partial tired but more food over load. I had a muscle milk for snack, and for dinner I had a ham and swiss sandwich. I have ended my day with 32 points. I feel really good. I feel full.

Tomorrow is the first day of school, and is looking to be a very hectic day. I will also be starting back at the gym in the morning. I am ready to really get back on board with everything.

Tonight I worked on my menu's for the next 2 weeks. Breakfast is mostly unplanned, but easier to make better choices. Lunch is a frozen ww meal, snack will be muscle milk. Dinner I eat with the family. I planned our menus they have a main meal, a green veggie, and a starchy veggie. I entered the recipes into my ww online and came up with the points per serving and serving size. I added this information to my menu's that are now posted on the fridge. I think this will help a lot. I have really been struggling with dinner time and not knowing what to eat or how much. This tends to be a very busy time of day, and I can't get away to go look up points so this will help a lot.
