This morning I went shopping and picked up all the foods I think will help me stick with my eating plan that I outlined earlier. (see EATING PLAN post)
I bought some frozen blueberries, yogurt without high fructose syrup, mushrooms, lettuce, salad dressing that I really like, lowfat cheese sticks, crackers, spray "butter", diet soda-one cup every three days since it is not good for my fine-looking body ;D, and the best thing for curbing an appetite - stick pretzels! I will probably eat stick pretzels with nuts - something like 20 pretzels to 10 nuts and that will be a complete snack and together they create protein! Best part is that those stick pretzels are only about 100 calories for 53 pretzels.
So, this sounds like a mixed bag of food. But, I already have fresh vegetables and fruits and some lean meat at home. This was mostly snack items. And note to self: DRINK WATER!!!
Today will be successful! OH! And my husband fixed my bicycle, so when it warms up, I can go for a ride! Thank you, handsome.
AND HERE'S A SURPRISE: Even though I have not been following a plan closely, I have been moving more and eating less, so I have dropped 1.2 pounds so far already! Nice.
i havent really tried to lose weight before, but i heard if you right down what you have eaten and planning what youre going to eat it helps. Drinking water is hard for me to remember to do to. i have an idea to fill my large hospital mug with ice water every morning to drink. maybe then i will drink water:) good luck
ReplyDeleteHey Ashley,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to fill up your huge mug to remind you to drink water! Let me know how that works for you.
Writing down what I have eaten and what I am going to eat is a great suggestion! Do you think it would be interesting if I wrote down on this blog what I have eaten all day? Probably boring, huh?
Well, I can keep my own FOOD JOURNAL! Good idea, Ashley! Thanks. Keep those good ideas coming. . .
