It’s finally Friday!
I had a bit of a rough night and woke up running a bit behind for work!
Rolled out of bed at 6:05am! Crud!
This is the basic run down of my day…. Wake-up/coffee/make-up/hair/clothes/drive/gas/drive/work/drive/vitamin store/drive/ wal-mart/drive/dollar tree/drive/krogers/drive/home/blog!
Coffee: 1st cup 2TBSP of sf French vanilla creamer + 2 sweeteners 2nd cup 1TBSP non-dairy creamer+2 sweeteners
Work was interesting today. I work in an office building next to the military airport... Tomorrow is the PGH Air show... The planes were loud and flying close all day... this caused me to have great panic... I kept thinking I was going to dye... I know that sounds crazy, but planes scare the crap out of me! All day I was a bit on edge!
Breakfast: 1 Dannon Light & Fit yogurt + 2 TBSP of SF apricot jam with fiber 1 whole wheat English muffin with 2 TBSP of SF strawberry jam….
I was starving today…. No matter what I ate I felt hungry…
Snack: 2 cups of watermelon
Lunch: cucumber tomato salad, 4 oz of chicken, and 1 cup of cantaloupe
Snack: 1 TBSP of PB with 1 Blueberry Nutri-grain Bar… oh this was amazing…. I mean seriously the PB/Nutri-grain bar combo was amazing!
Snack: 1 bag of 100 calorie popcorn
Gym: skipped…. I wasn’t feeling it today…. Instead I went shopping and that was ample amounts of walking!
Vitamin Shop: 1 bottle of FRS concentrate in Apricot Mango…. Oh yes its back to my tropical smoothies!
Wal-mart: apples, yogurts, bananas, chicken, frozen veggies, and canned soups.... I definately saw some serious NO NOs here.... I think it's kind of funny how they keep saying that more and more people are leading towards a healthy life style and eating yet the majority of 'new' products you see are the same unhealthy garbage over and over again... Today the shocker I found were croissant buns... 160 for 1 small bun... this made me think how many people will see this and think 'yum!' grab a pack and feed them to their family with out even looking at the calorie content or the crazy amount of fat packed into these little buns. If you take anything away from my journey regarding food please let it be portion control and reading labels!
Krogers: whole wheat gnocchi, frozen veggies, and apples
Dinner: 8oz of chicken with 2 TBSP of BBQ sauce + 1 cup of corn (I forgot to take a picture!)
Here is where I ended up for calories:
Today was a bit of a struggle for me… I’m having feelings of hunger I know I shouldn’t and I seem to have a difficult time deciding if its real hunger and I should give in or if it’s emotional hunger… I decided today it was definitely real hunger… I drank water… waited… more water…. Then I realized I need some sustenance… I tried to at least pick some healthy choices…. I’m sadly still kind of hungry however I doubt I’ll give in at this point… I may if I do I’ll keep it healthy… *sigh* I guess we’ll all have days like this.
Praise: I’m thankful today for prayer…. I know that seems silly, but I was reminded today how important it is. I was feeling down and vulnerable. I asked my friends on MFP to pray for me. Many of the prayed and gave me great words of encouragement and support… I prayed and asked God to help me. I knew I couldn’t continue today on my own. I was feeling a little better spiritual by the end of the day, but I’m still feeling weak and vulnerable. I know continued prayer and support will get me through this rough patch and I’ll be stronger on the other end of this bumpy road.

Honey,,,I love you to death.You really need to think about eating cleaner less processed foods.That is what is making you so hungry.Eat plain like eggs,spinach,salsa chicken breast or fish and large servings of veggies for example the whole head of broccoli or cauliflower,green beans.Soups and yougurt are not so good.Get you some plain greek yougurt and add sf jam and sweetner to it.FF Cottage cheese.No noodles! brown rice and fish grilled or baked in foil pack in the oven.Your cravings will go away.No bars like nutri grain too much sugar.Eat as natural as you can.It makes a huge difference :)
