Accountability - What did you eat Sunday?

Okay, so I couldn't make it past the kitchen and headed back to the office...Today has been really good and bad. I was forced to drink more water and got my protein in and not very many calories. I bought 100 calorie popcorn packs (eating the three servings myself just  can't be good).  So rather than call Carla in from her playing outside. Here is my accountabiltiy: Breakfast: Oatmeal (one packet) 2 servings of TVP, 1 serving of soy milk and coffee.  Second breakfast: 3 oz of steak on an egg skillet. 2 large eggs and some home fried potatoes (about a half cup) and some cheese, figure 1 oz.  Lunch: yikes. Nothing. I had water and didn't eat.  Snack: I had a serving of SF Chocolate covered toffee pieces and a serving of SF Chocolate Malt Balls. Then I RAN from the kitchen and the snack cabinet cuz I needed to catch some control really quick and came in here till dinner was ready Dinner: 5 oz of broiled chicken breast, 1/3 cup home made mashed potatoes and 8 slices of canned beets.  Totals for the day: Calories; 1567 Fat: 68 Carbs: 134 Protein: 124 I think I could do with a snack later but not sure what and I want it to be a good one...WITH PROTEIN but what? When I can't decide, I opt for nothing...Good option.

Those cravings just are not fun! Well I had a pretty good day, but was hungry too for some reason.

I think your totals are pretty good for Saturday. I just love wasabi peas. I also like just the roasted adn salted ones. They're green so they "LOOK" healthy but they crunch like beer nuts...Yumo!

Wow...Carla has been gone a while...Hopefully it was a last minute fun trip and she's been busy enjoying herself.  I've been busy with life myself...so I know how easy it is to just let things go for a bit.  I needed that break too...I was feeling overwhelmed with food and eating and I just didn't want to work so hard.  I'm glad I took a break...I feel refreshed again. I'm not keeping track all day...Just once a day when I add my stuff up...and whatever it is...IT IS!  I did this for 4 years and I got the rest of my life...so I might as well not make eating, journaling, counting calories, protein, fats and carbs...such a chore...ALL DAY.  I can't do that anymore...I felt more out of control being desperately overwhelmed.  I have always made decent choices and I have to trust myself again. I think gaining over christmas time really freaked me out even though I've had it under control for a while now...  B: Coffee w/soymilk and 2 oz. protein powder L: 2.5 ounces Pork Carnitas, grilled between 2 low carb tortilla wraps w/cheddar cheese, greek yogurt, salsa, 1/2 avocado D: 5 oz pork carnitas with 1 fresh roma tomato, 1/2 avocado, 1 tortilla grilled crispy, greek yogurt and hot sauce S: Oh Yeah Peanut and vanilla wafers S: 1/2 C fresh blackberries Fat 60    Carbs 84.5    Protein 111      Fiber 48        Calories 920 <--oops should read 1190 Normally, I would be keeping track all day and adding calories because I would have seen I was lower than I like to be...Thus, I would have ate a little more if I knew I had calories to spare...Not doing that anymore!  I'm eating what feels right...Who knows?  Monday, I might eat 1600 calories...So be it. I'm gonna see how this goes...

I have a feeling Carla's computer is giving her fits. I try not to obsess over the numbers and journaling my food so when I pack my lunches in the morning, I put in what I have packed and then remove anything I didn't actually eat. Usually, my counts are right around 1000 for breakfast through lunch and both snacks. If dinner is low too then I can add a dessert...I like that.
