I’ve got to start being accountable to myself. I was doing so good and then I had a few slip ups and I got away from being as close to 100% accountable as I can be. I started leaving things out of my food journal that I had binged on and that weren’t part of my planned eating for the day. All I’m doing when I do that is lying to myself. It doesn’t mean that the calories weren’t consumed. Far from it. It just means that I don’t know the full extent of what I did on those days.
Yesterday I started fresh. I’m going to stick to my calories and the “right” types of food. I will be eating the foods that are more beneficial for me. For instance, for dinner tonight, I will have a 4 oz ribeye steak, some baked zucchini, and some sautéed mushrooms and onions. I’m really looking forward to eating all that. Also, for my lunches, I bought some whole wheat bagel thins (less than half the calories of 2 slices of bread), some ham lunchmeat and some reduced fat cheddar cheese for making sandwiches for lunch.
Today, I will go do some grocery shopping after work. Nothing fancy because I still have to get in a workout. So, just what I can get done in 10 minutes or less. I’ll need some veggies and some protein and some yogurt. I want to start making baked veggies to go with my protein for dinner. And I want to take fresh fruits and veggies with me to work to snack on, also Greek yogurt to mix with berries for snacks. I think I’m going to eat whole grain oatmeal for breakfast for a while.
On Friday or Saturday, I’ll start back up with cooking for up to 6 days worth of meals at a time. Portion control is so much easier when you cook up a dish and then divvy it up and store it in the individual serving sizes. I don’t know yet what I’ll make. Maybe a meatloaf for dinners and a casserole of some sort with chicken for lunches. I will have to flip through all my recipes that I have and figure something out.
