slowly...
4.5.07
weight = goal + 12.5
what i ate:
breakfast: yogurt with honey & almonds, coffee with splenda & skim milk
snack: big coffee with splenda & creamer
lunch: 3-egg omlette with tomatoes, swiss cheese and avocado, breakfast potatoes, a slice of whole wheat toast, and a diet coke.
snack: luna bar
dinner: grilled salmon, grilled veggies, a glass of wine and 3 peanut butter cookies
so we are heading in the right direction. the things i am learning form the beck book:
only eat while you are sitting down. this helps you (me) be more conscious of what you are eating (as opposed to, say, standing in the kitchen with a bag of chips talking to dad)
give yourself credit. instead of always criticizing yourself for what went wrong (ach! i shouldn't have eaten that! bad! bad!), praise yourself for what went right (yay! extra veggies! yay! used skim milk instead of cream!) and for what didn't go wrong (yay! didn't eat that cupcake!)
i always am disappointed when i start to make an effort to lose weight and nothing happens... but this time i am trying to remember, slow and steady wins the race.
long weekend, so i am hoping to do lots of active things, and not so much lots of eating things. so.
