Well, I made it through the first week. For the most part, it wasn't too bad. The biggest help was planning!! I had pretty much planned out my meals Monday - Friday.
I tried some great new recipes and I'll admit that it was good to get back into the kitchen and cook "real" food. I had gotten into the habit of using so many frozen foods that I wasn't really cooking very much. I definitely need to make sure to plan for the weekends too - even if that means a trip to the grocery store on Friday to stock up for the weekend.
Like I said, for the most part it wasn't so bad. Unfortunately, by Friday afternoon I noticed that I had gotten a bit grumpy. My friend asked if it was because I missed my favorite foods - could be. I think that as long as I have plenty of options stocked up here at home, I should be OK. I know that I don't have to deprive myself but I DO need to make better choices.
Three of my yummy choices this week:

That's great Julie! I too love Skinny Cow. I have not gotten on the band wagon quite yet. Have meals planned but, no weigh in. Tell you the truth I am afraid to see what the scale would say. I know I have to just go for it.

Good doing i am back on my journey too lol finding the momentum is hard i had several weeks where i was sooo good and lostnothing but i know i have to keep going.
ReplyDeleteokay, I am starting today...I promise!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls!!!
ReplyDeleteMomentum is a hard thing! I'll admit that I thought of just skipping a day or two this week but I know that I've got to stick with it! Sometimes it seems too hard - it would be easier to just eat an enitre bag of Cheetos for lunch then actually "think" about what I'm going to eat! All I have to do is look in the mirror and realize that I HAVE TO CHANGE!! I don't want to be like this anymore. I know that the longer I do it the easier it will get. So, hang in there with me ladies... WE CAN DO IT!!!

I love the Skinny cow chocolate peanut butter sandwiches- well, I used to. Since my WLS, no ice cream for me!
