I have had an emotional day. I seem to carry the problems of the people I care about and my brother who has had a rough year, had some bad news today. I turned to food for comfort, but......I did not eat the food. I just fed him! We went for mexican at lunch and I ate a taco salad with shredded chicken. I took half the sour cream and guacamole off , and added lots of salsa. I watched him eat the chips and cheese dip and I didn't eat even one. I wanted to, but once I made the decision not to eat it, I was okay with it.
For dinner I had a Kashi veggie pizza. It was very yummy. I wasn't sure it would be. It had broccoli on it and although I love broccoli, I wouldn't think about it being good on a pizza. I was wrong. Charlene even liked it. Also, more good news, I ate the pizza after cooking salmon patties, biscuits, and gravy for Mike and Dad. I really wanted to eat that too but I only tasted a tad of the gravy to see if I had seasoned it correctly.
So....it was a good day. Emotional, but good. My brother loves me, I was able to be here for him and hopefully make a difference in his day. And I stayed on my diet! Woot!
Oh, and for breakfast I had a cup of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal. The was my first cereal since I started my new eating plan and I dont' know how I feel about it. The calories are okay, and the carbs didn't send me through a spike and crash cycle and cause me to get hungry. I'll see what the scale says in the morning before I decide to eat cereal again, but I did buy some Kashi cereals for Charlene. (who has lost 12 lbs and I am very happy for her and proud of her).
Oh and one other thing I am happy about tonight. I have found out that there are people reading my blog who I don't know about....welcome Runelle! It really makes me happy to know people are out there cheering me on and just so all of you know...you were there at the table with me today when I didn't eat the chips and queso, and when I didn't eat the biscuits! The blog is definetly helping me stay on course.
Have a great night, say a prayer for my family, and God bless you all.

Kashi cereals are the best!! I love the Honey Flax Seed Crunch. Lots of protein and fiber. That's great you followed your eating plan at lunch. When I was loosing weight I would cheat everytime I ate out. I'm trying to loose again but it's hard in the evening for me. I'm back to excercising but I realize I can excercise like I use to. I don't have the time anymore so I try to do my DVD 4 times a week.
ReplyDeleteI do good in the evenings so far as long as I plan for dinner. I don't eat anything except my yogurt after dinner and sometimes I don't eat that. I will have coffee or tea for some taste. I used to eat half a lemon for some flavor at night when I lost weight before.
