I didn't completely blow it yesterday. I was definitely over my intended max calories (1,000), though. I think I stayed below my absolute max (1,500), so that's good. It was a mercy eating, I swear! I didn't think I would be going to my friend's house, so I ate a little something - a piece of sprouted grain bread w/ cream cheese & a cup of brown rice. Then, plans changed at the last minute, and I ended up going. I walked in the door, and she had burgers already prepared, on plates, ready to eat. I didn't know how to say no. I guess it's good that it was whole wheat bread instead of buns? And veggie burgers instead of real? I don't know. I don't feel like a complete failure, but I certainly don't feel like I did my best.
Today, I'm going to eat celery most of the day, and have something around 200 cals before my tattoo appointment. I'm probably going to sit for 2 - 3 hours, and I don't want to pass out!
This eating breakfast thing is really throwing me off. Experts all seem to agree that one of the keys to weight loss is to eat at least 250 calories for breakfast. So, I've been trying to incorporate that into my day. I'm breakfast-skipper, normally (maybe that contributed to the weight gain in the first place?) Anyway, having that many calories that early makes it hard to keep the total for the day under 1,000 sometimes. Like if bf wants to cook. Then I have to eat like nothing during the day, because his food is rich.
Okay, back to work. It's so boring. Obsessing over my food is more interesting.

ReplyDeletefor the breakfast thing i either have a granola bar(about 140cal) and/or a small glass of orangejuice(? cal)
both are very good for you and not extremely high in cal. the orange juice will give you energy too. just an idea ;)
stay strong!
