Last night I went to bed earlier so that I could get up this morning and work out. I got up early and was able to walk and run on the treadmill for 15 minutes before I had to take a phone call. However, when I get home after work tonight I plan on exercising some more.
It is funny I have been eating good during the morning and for lunch and now I am having to strive to eat better at home. When I first started this journey it was easier at home then it was at work because I was eating out. Now that I am bring my lunch it is easier because I know several days out what I am eating because I need to purchase the ingredients or items from the grocery storm.
The biggest thing I am struggling with at home is going back for additional portions or snacking through out the evening. What I am going to try tonight is to make the decision to only eat the one plate at dinner. After dinner i am going to then exercise because it usually takes the edge off the hunger. If I am still feeling hungry then i am going to drink water or unsweet tea to make sure I am not actually thirsty and needing to rehydrate. Finally, as a last resort I will go back to eating three or four almonds if i need to.
In addition, I think that I need to get back to reporting what I am eating on the blog because it makes me more aware of what I am eating. Last night we went to some friend's house after dinner and had dessert with them so i ate a very rich piece of cake. Don't get me wrong it was good, but I should have split a piece with my wife or eaten half of a piece.
However, today I am off to a good start. After exercising this morning I fixed a bagel, egg, and ham sandwich with a slice of cheese. For lunch I have just finished eating a serving of sweet and sour chicken and a serving of collard greens. I am not sure what is for dinner to night, but I am gearing myself up now to eat less. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
