This one's going to be pretty short - but I wanted to point out that I've done well for a week and beat my first challenge. I went from holiday break to my first full week back working, and figuring out how to handle food during a busy schedule. We've made conscious decisions on what we're going to eat, we've tried to look forward, and when I wasn't able (or failed to do so) make time to schedule meals, I've found healthy alternatives. All and all, a good first week.
The next big test comes this weekend. Tonight after work I take Elijah to Boy Scout Camp for the weekend - that means that I don't control the food. I have to control the portions. And I have to be smart and log everything, even those snacks that they offer at camp. Either way, I have to be SMART, make SMART decisions and continue to keep the momentum that I've built up during the last week.
Then, tomorrow is Livi's birthday, so I'll have to make sure what whatever we eat for her birthday - cake, ice cream, etc.. I plan, schedule and eat again - SMART. Too much work the past week to blow it away in a weekend.
I'm confident that I can do this. I'm feeling better. I don't miss the sweets and the treats. Every once in a while I get hungry, and I do think about food a LOT.. but I've been able to look in the mirror and realize that the guy looking back at me NEEDS me to do this.
So, happy Friday everyone! Food log for yesterday (1/5/17) below:
