Good morning everyone!
Yesterday was not a good day! Not only did I have to work last but I got up late yesterday morning, did not eat breakfast and went grocery shopping! I stayed within my calorie limit but still missing breakfast just threw me off. I really have started enjoying cooking myself a beautiful breakfast of wheat toast, one egg (fried or scrambled but always with 0 calorie evoo spray!) and 2 slices of delicious turkey bacon. I thought I was doomed to eating yogurt and toast for breakfast every morning for the rest of my life but Im not. This morning I even added a little bit of cottage cheese in. I don't think I ate a whole 1/4 cup of a serving though. Either way, I feel better this morning....like I actually got a good start on the day by eating. Hoping I can find the time to work out this morning....have to be at the stadium at noon today so probably not. However I do have two healthy choice meals in the freezer to take with me. yes, I realize they have more sodium and preservatives than a home cooked meal, but they are better for me than eating concession stand food!
Grocery shopping yesterday was an experience. I bought things I've never bought before...more turkey bacon, turkey sausage, turkey burgers, ground turkey, asparagus and more than a few servings of chicken breasts (boneless and skinless! Also got talapia and salmon fillets. I am bound and determined that I am going to learn to cook healthier foods! Being from the south and having grown up eating biscuits and gravy, sausage, pot roasts and other assorted comfort foods that really stick to your ribs (and your ass!), I am having a hard time. But I know I can do this and I want to do this!
My fiance likes foods that are really quick to cook...things like hamburger, chicken, and tuna helper. All of which are ok but contain a lot of sodium and preservatives. I have tried explaining to him that even though I am counting calories, I also have to watch sodium intake because it does cause me to retain water. He of course is 6'2 and less than 200 pounds....SKINNNY guy with just a small pot belly so he doesn't get it...thinks that just reducing what I eat will help...And he is probably right. I probably could JUST reduce my calories and still eat all the foods I was eating, but I want to make changes that I can keep and not just lose weight, but get to a healthier place.
And then, I want to quit smoking. However, I am not strong enough to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time. Im already bitchy and cranky enough.....going to leave the smokes until I am sure I can maintain the changes in my eating habits on a long term basis.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!
