Whatcha doing and eats - Tuesday

I'm struggling to stay on track.  I'm eating better than I was a week ago but still pushing the emotional eating envelope.  

Lots of emotional triggers for me right now.  I'm committing here with you that I'm stronger than the situations in my life right now.  

My eats:

B - Coffee

L - 1/2 turkey sandwich

D - Turkey Meatloaf

S - Pear

Keeping my head in the game!

Emotions are such a challenge... I've not been doing as well as I was, so I've gone back to read some of the wonderful articles and advice I've found on this site. Need to get motivated again.

Today's plan:

B: 2 slices bacon, 1/2 apple

S: 1/2 apple with almond butter

L:Turkey meatballs, tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese

S: Almonds

D: Grilled fish, broccoli

When I need motivation to stay on track, I do the same thing of reading articles on the OH Blog and cruise the message boards.  I also go to Facebook and Pinterest to check out images with quotes or messages that are meaningful to me.  I've been doing lots of reading on OH, and time on Facebook and Pinterest lately.

As far as being on track, below are some articles you might check out that are related to being on track and emotional eating.

BOTTing with you and our BOTT members, Cathy

Emotional eating is what got a lot of us (me) in the obese category in the first place.  You said it Cathy, we are stronger than the situations we find ourselves in.  Each one is a challenge in its own. 

Keeping my head in the game too!!

Hi everyone! no eating for me- doing a colonoscopy prep so liquids here! I see it as a blessing, I've been forced to stop the carb eating. I hpe to keep myself "clean of carbs and sugar after this procedure!

Hi scrappy, 

Hope everything is ok with your colonoscopy. Nothing like  a good cleanse to reset. 

Brandi, 

I also write down what I eat after eaten. I have been counting protein, fiber, and water. I just started using the nutritional tracker on this site yesterday. Interesting to see calories, sodium, etc. I am learning so much from older posts it makes me feel less like a failure and more like a normal person. 

Take care

I am new to this board and have a question. Are you posting what you DID eat for the day or what you have planned to eat for the day? I write down what I eat after I eat it so as too keep track and so I can look up idea's for meals on other days. For me, meal idea's are the hardest.

I actually post my planned eating for the day.....then I record on My Fitness Pal what I actually ate.  By writing down my plans, I am held accountable to myself......most of the time, I eat 90% of what I said I was going to eat.  I have to have a plan and know what is available to me to eat,  so that I don't just grab something and go.  I have to be prepared for every food choice.

Still not feeling well, but I have been able to eat different foods the past couple of days and they taste ok....not good, just ok.

My planned eats for today....

breakfast....banana

Lunch.........meatloaf/ veggies

dinner........have appointments this afternoon and church tonight, so we are having fast food hamburgers !

I know, not the best choice, but hubby wants a big,ole juicy burger..... I will order a small burger and snag some of his fries.....

I hope everyone has a healthy day ! 

My eats:

B-coffee/creamer

L-2 George Foreman bunless burgers with Swiss cheese dipped in honey and bar b-q sauce

D-pork chop and sauteed zucchini, summer squash, and mushrooms
