Technically Day One was yesterday, but it didn't work out so well. So I think I should probably make Day One today. Hopefully anyway.
Yesterday I had my iced quad venti caramel macchiato which I realize isn't exactly diet food, but hey, I gotta have my caffeine. And the calories don't really count because I'm drinking it on my way to work. What? Ok fine. They count. Sheesh you guys are relentless.
For lunch I had oatmeal. Yes people, for lunch. I am not a big breakfast person to begin with, and actually can't eat for an hour or so anyway after I get up because I have to take my thyroid meds and they need to be on an empty stomach. And once I have my coffee I'm pretty full and can last till lunch, though I will be changing that after I go grocery shopping. But more on that later. Back to lunch, so I ate the oatmeal because I figured it would keep me full till dinner, which it did.
But this is where it gets a little hay wired, because I had planned on getting on the treadmill when I got home, but instead I had to stop at the commissary and pick up a few things (because my house is pretty empty but I didn't have time today to do shopping shopping and won't till Wednesday), then as soon as I got home I had to start dinner, so that me and Sean Michael could eat and then go to Michaels and pick up stuff for a class project he is doing and then take him to tae kwon doh. Usually Hector takes him but Casanova had a 6:00 appointment at the vet because he hurt his foot somehow and was limping all weekend, so it was up to me to take Sean Michael. And we finally made it home by 9. Phew!
Anyway, dinner was chicken salad sandwiches (yes, hardly diet food I know) and then because I had to do all that running around, I had a tall caramel macchiato for energy. ***hangs head*** I also had a snack later, which was plain greek yogurt with almonds mixed in.
I am in the process though of making a menu for me to follow and shop for for the week, and so I can keep track of calories much easier. And hopefully jump on the treadmill as soon as I get home from work. Thats my plan for today anyway.
So.....Day One again. :>)
Dump the guilt, Sharlsie. When you get everything together you will be able to prepare your meals much easier. Don't beat yourself up, thete will be nights that won't be perfect. Hang in there, my friend! Oh, and can you get your favorite drink in a non-fat version or maybe find a new favorite and just have the other one for a special treat when you reach set goals? Just a thought.
