Thursday Thursday

I'm glad it's Thursday because it's actually my Friday at work!! YAY me. It's been a rough week at work and when it's rough, what do I reach for? Food. I'm looking forward to my days off. It's 341am and I've got the alarm set to get up before work and get my workout in. The exercise has been a little hard for me to get up and go but once I'm up it's all good. The food part is difficult but tomorrow is another day and another day to choose. All I can do is try. I found a pretty good website...Mindlesseating.org The title says it all doesn't it? That's a very good description of what I've been doing. I just have to laugh..sorry. Anyways, I haven't planned out my meals for tomorrow but I have a good idea of what I'll be having since I haven't gone to the grocery store like I had planned....Here's my choices...chicken,chicken or chicken. Oatmeal, Oatmeal or Oatmeal...protein bar, protein bar or protein bar..milk and eggs. I'm pretty boring. I did have a bag of beef jerkey hidden in the cupboard but I think my husband ate it Wishes for a great day!

Hi, Greeley Girl! I've been reviewing your dailys posts and wanted to give you an 'atta girl for continuing to work on your food issues. Mindless eating is definitely a struggle for many of us, so kudos to you for focusing your time and energy on addressing that issue. I've discovered that when I plan out my food for the day, including snacks, I do a better job of not eating mindlessly. I eat 6-7 times per day -- breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, sometimes a 2nd snack, dinner, bedtime snack -- this schedule helps me because I'm eating every 2-3 hours. If I know I've got a snack or a meal coming in the next hour or so, it's easier to pass on the stuff I shouldn't eat. I'm not sure if this would work for your schedule, but I've found it very helpful. Anyway, just wanted you to know someone is paying attention. Good luck on your efforts - I'll try to chime in again in a few days. Have a great weekend! Kellie Lap RNY 10/25/2005 396/206/165?
