I'm a Slave to Sugar....

February 27, 2014

 Today has not been too bad. I am keeping track of my calories with the help of an app called " My Fitness Pal". I'm supposed to keep my calories at or around 1500, I'm shooting for less here at first because, well, to be quite frank, I know my body. I'm going to have to kick start this weight loss big time.....

   So today, assuming I do not go off of my meal plan for tonight, or add anything extra, I am on track to be right at 1200 calories. Not easy.
   For one thing, who knew good tasting stuff had oodles of calories and they added up quickly? And who knew the not-so-cravable stuff didnt? Okay, I did know that, but I was hoping I was just getting it wrong!

Here's what my meal consisted of today:

     Breakfast- 1/2 c unsalted roasted pistachios,

     1 cut up bell pepper

     1/2 cut up cucumber

    2 glasses of water (with calorie free flavoring...I just can't DO plain water)

    Snack- 1 clementine 

    Lunch- Campbells Chicken Noodle soup 

    a few pieces of my bell pepper I hadn't finished

    a few pieces of my cucumber I hadn't finished

    2 glasses of water

   

   Snack- Clementine

   I'm planning on leftovers for supper: 1 baked skinless, tasteless, boneless chicken breast (ha!)

   1/2 sweet potato (small) baked with pepper

   1 c. broccoli (broiled)

   1/2  c. 'faked fried' squash and zuchinni squash

   1 lowfat yogurt for a dessert.

I'm drinking OODLES of water....so far I'm a glass within my daily intake requirement.

I plan on working out today (walking) but my husband has errands he wants us to run, so who knows if I will actually get to that today.

While I am not hungry, as in having hunger pains, etc, I CRAVE things.....

    hostess ding-dongs, cupcakes....anything chocolate, peanut butter sandwiches, chips ahoy cookies, 

And the most delicious cookies in the world ....do-si-dos. UGH!

BUT I'm determined to NOT go back to my old ways.
As much as I'd like to partake in the above mentioned, I am not! 

Most of my cravings are sugar based.....which sums me up in a nutshell.

I can live without bread, fried foods, etc....sugar is what I want.

I have allowed myself one Diet Coke, as a service and kindness to all humanity that have to deal with me today, but I am eventually going to get off of those too.

Go big or go home, I always say!
So with that, I plan on taking my 2000th restroom break for the day and heading home!

Happy losing!
