Today was a good day. I was able to get up early and walked on the tread mill for 30 minutes. It makes a big difference exercising in the morning. I find that I have much more energy and am more alert after working out.
For breakfast I had fruit and oatmeal and drank an unsweet tea through out the morning. For lunch I ate a 6 inch ham and turkey sandwich with lettuce, spinach, tomato, onion, provolone cheese, and light mayo. I ate a bag of BBQ baked lays and had a Diet Pepsi. For dinner I went to Subway with the kids and had a 6 inch roast beef sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, provolone cheese, spinach, and light mayo. I also had a bag of sour cream baked lays and a Diet Pepsi.
I did stay up late tonight doing laundry and because I was hungry I ate two bites of my daughters left over cheese pizza and 5 almonds. I know that I should not have eaten late so in the future I need to try to make a point to not stay up so late.
The one thing is that is encouraging is that each day I am successful then the next day is a little easier. For example, I still have cravings for foods that are not as healthy but they are not as strong as they once were. Previously, when I would walk into McDonald's I would want to get a double quarter pounder with cheese or a Mushroom Angus Swiss burger. Now I find myself trying to look for healthier options.
I look forward to tomorrow and to continuing this journey.
