That’s the direction I’m headed in right now.
Sunday was not a good day for my diet and exercise. Not horrible, but definitely not good.
It’s not a good sign when you start the day with a buttery, high sugar apple crisp for breakfast:
My mom and dad got this Mug’ems thing as a gift. It is the cobbler ingredients in a mug with instructions on how to make it. Mymom let me have it since she doesn’t cook at all. So I thought it would be a yummy fall breakfast. And it was!! This was about half of the whole cobbler.
My mid morning snack was a Blueberry Chobs:
Lunch was a good old standby – Lean Cuisine Sweet and Sour Chicken:
I made a Sunday afternoon Walmart run for just a couple of things. The only thing I ended up getting that was not on my list was an old favorite that I haven’t had in quite a while – Mediterranean Terra Exotic Root Vegetable Chips
These became my afternoon snack:
I’ve really missed these guys and their salty, crunchy deliciousness! I’m pretty sure these are my favorite chips.
I had intended to go for a long walk in the afternoon but I was incredibly tired. I ended up taking an hour long nap instead. It was a DEEP sleep but I woke up super refreshed and ready to cook dinner.
I used my own recipe to make a really yummy turkey veggie meatloaf. I used some of the roasted veggies I had cooked yesterday and mixed them into some lean ground turkey. I also added some Ragu sauce, egg whites and panko breadcrumbs. The result was delicious:
This was about half of the loaf. My favorite way to eat this is with greek yogurt for dipping. Talk about a protein-packed dinner! I’m sure the other half of this loaf will be eaten tomorrow.
So really, except for the not walking thing, I hadn’t done too poorly for the day by this point. But later in the evening, even though I wasn’t really that hungry, I gave in to the urge to eat. I ended up eating:
- the rest of the leftover apple crisp
- a Chocolate Jello Mousse Temptations
- about 1/6 of Bobby’s Jimmy Dean Sausage Egg and Cheese Croissant that he didn’t finish.
I went to bed feeling kind of fat and bloated and generally not great about what I had just eaten. Considering how I had done yesterday, I seriously thought about not weighing in this morning. But I wanted to know what damage I had done so I did anyway. And I was actually down another pound from yesterday!!! I can’t believe it and I have no idea how I pulled that one off but I’m not complaining! Now maybe if I can make some better choices this week I can build some more momentum again!
