... long live the fruit salad! I made a HUGE fruit salad at the beginning of the first week - who knew 2 pieces each of apple, pear, banana, nectarine, peach, some strawberries & a kiwi would make SUCH a big salad?? - and finally finished it for breakfast this morning. And amazingly, it was still delicious - the apples still crunchy, the banana still looking / tasting fresh... Shall have to make another one soon!
I'm feeling good about food today - although it's just as well I had no cause to go to the supermarket, or I wouldn't be feeling quite so good! I did go to Target for a few things, and found that the cookies were just JUMPING OFF THE SHELF to get at me - those soft-baked, Peppermill Raisin Oatmeal cookies were just crying out for me to rip them open and devour them... and the bags of potato chips (of which I've had exactly none in the last 8 days...) were begging me to give in and munch on them! I resisted though - with great difficulty and greater will power - and managed to escape the store without turning it into a feeding frenzy first!
So food today: fruit salad & half an orange for breakfast, chicken salad (1/2 chicken breast, 1/4 of an apple, 1/4 cup of pasta, 1/2 handful of raisins & some slivered almonds held together with 1/2 tbsp of salad cream & 1/2 tbsp of mayonnaise), a slice of buttered bread & a sugar free rice pudding (70 cals & quite edible!) for lunch, and 2 diet cokes... My entire calorie intake for today has to be about 1200 calories. Not bad!
Oh, and I bought a pedometer this afternoon - and discovered that I walked the equivalent of 1/2 mile at work this evening. Nowhere near enough... REALLY have to start exercising (hint, hint, Eileen - bicycle?? Please???)
P.S. I do have to confess... I was so disappointed with the weigh-in results yesterday that in a fit of pique I went to McD's and chowed down on a large portion of their fries... Tasty, but disappointingly not as satisfying as I had hoped - probably because I felt my guilt level grow with each one I put in my mouth... !!
