Yesterday Eats

Yesterday I had a busy day of Strength training, cardio and then some food shopping with my girlfriend Gale. So I had some leftover Summer Kale Salad and Balsamic Tofu and threw that in a container for a quick and easy lunch. It had been sitting in the refrigerator and I as worried about how it would be, it was fabulous. Love it!!

After getting home from my day I had a snack of Wasa Cracker and a slice of 2% Swiss Cheese. It wasn't quite enough food and I found that I was still hungry. Not sure if the salad wasn't quite enough food for lunch or what. At first I panicked and was going to try to hold off for dinner. Afraid of what might happen if I did that I decided on a piece of string cheese and two clementines. That seems to feed the hungry beast in me and I was able to make in until dinner. I was very proud of how I handled that situation and it gave me some confidence that I am capable of handling a situation like that again in the future.

Dinner last night was a Black, tomato omelet. I was a little nervous about having an omelet with these types of ingredients but I was so pleasantly surprised. It was quite tasty and I was able to attempt to get rid of some stuff in the refrigerator. I would definitely have this again.

I had my book group last night so I brought a mixture of Greek yogurt, cocoa powder and agave nectar for my evening snack. It was OK but wouldn't say it was my favorite.

All in all I had a great day and am feeling great. I decided that I am not going to have any meat for 7 days so I have three days to go. I am so enjoying this journey of discovery for myself.

Snack and Dinner

This afternoon snack today was two Wasa Crackers with a slice of low fat Swiss cheese split in half. It was quite good although the crackers I had for awhile and they weren't quite as fresh as I hoped. Have to add these crackers to the grocery list for next week.

Dinner tonight was a wonderful Summer Kale salad with Balsamic Tofu. Was SO good. If you haven't tried Kale you need to give it a try. I was quite hesitant to try it but am so glad I did. It is quite delicious.

I had some difficult eating and did some unplanned and uncontrolled eating this afternoon. But I am not going to let it effect me moving forward. I have to give myself credit for ending it and moving forward. Every moment is an opportunity to start over and that is what I did. I am putting it behind me and moving forward. Tomorrow is a fresh start and a great opportunity to learn and grow when it comes to food and eating.
