better day
had a much better day yesterday:
wednesday 1.31.07
weight: goal + 9
breakfast: yogurt with almonds & honey, coffee with splenda & skim milk
snack: big coffee with splenda & creamer, 4 slices pineapple, 5 strawberries
lunch: palak paneer with rice, diet coke
snack: 2 more slices of pineapple
dinner: shrimp risotto (wow- so tasty! i am a rock star!), glass of wine
what i learned: drinking lots of water during the day helps. we had a day-long training yesterday where they provided breakfast and lunch- and i took a certain (ok, a large) degree of satisfaction from watching everyone else stuff their faces, while i ate my lunch from home. there were two enormous plates of cookies and brownies (have i mentioned that i have a particular weakness for baked goods?) but i resisted completely. it is definitely true that it is easier to resist the cravings in the first place, than to give in a bit and try to not go overboard. the other thing that was helpful yesterday was at about 3:00 when i was DYING for a snack, i had a piece of gum instead. didn't banish the cravings, but enabled me to make it through.
went to the gym yesterday as well and ran for a bit, nothing too strenuous.
