New week, new beginnings, new resolve...

Well, the weekend was challenging... I spent most of it hungry - and had a lot of food on Saturday to prove it, but not enough on Sunday, consequently having to eat late in the evening yesterday. Saturday morning I had @ 1 1/4 cups of Cheerios for breakfast - it made no sense to leave that little bit in the bag, after all - a whole grapefruit, and a (70 cal) chocolate jello along with a small glass of milk. Then I had a pecan-crusted chicken salad (YUM) from Applebees (definitely my favorite!) for lunch - along with 2 slices of their garlicky bread - I just really wanted some bread.... By the time I got home from work, I was hungry again, so I had a slice of bread with a little butter....

Sunday morning I had a large bowl of orange & grapefruit salad, 2 slices of multi grain wholewheat toast and a glass of milk. Then for lunch one slice of bread with the last 2 slices of processed American cheese and another of chocolate puddings. On my break, I had a banana, a small can of prune juice & a bag of (100 cal) fig newtons. By the time I got home from work, I was very hungry... I kept trying to ignore it, but gave in finally and had a peanut butter sandwich (VERY light on the peanut butter, as it is SOOOOO high in calorie & fat content!), after which I felt much, much better & slept like a baby!

So now today it's back to more sensible eating plans... I've had a glass of orange juice so far, and am now going to have a bowl of cheerios & more of that orange / grapefruit salad. I also intend to try the Biggest Loser Workout dvd that Eileen has lent me today - I've not ridden my bike at all this weekend, and NEED some exercise if I'm going to lose any weight this week!

So high-ho, high-ho... it's onward that we go!
