I'm not tracking things too closely this week (since yes it's THE week for eating) but I'm still trying to practice restraint until maybe Friday evening and Saturday :D. So here is a basic rundown of what I ate/drank today.

I didn't drink enough water.... maybe 8 cups

I drank my coffee with 5tbsp of half and half with 1 tbsp sugar

Breakfast was oatmeal

Snack was 2 cups of homemade beef stew

Lunch, 2 homemade english muffins will melted cheese, 3oz of carrots

Snack, 7 brownie bites made by my sister lol (not too proud of this one)

Dinner, Wegman's 7 inch sub smothered in veggies, turkey, salami, ham, mayo, mustard, etc

Snack, 1 med banana, 2tbsp almond butter, 1 cup of milk

Approximate calorie intake 2700

The brownie bites did me in... (about 600 calories) and I could have done without the 150 calories in the milk I drank. That would have put me back in a more reasonable range.

I worked out this afternoon (20 minutes of pilates)

That's it for tonight folks lol, goodnight!

My Thoughts:

This was a week of discovering what was too little calories, when and how I needed to eat to maintain proper blood sugar levels and discovering how much of a perfectionist I was being! A few things I've decided... Monday - Thursday I'll post my food journal for sure. Friday-Sunday are a little more iffy because of really focusing on family time, but I am still carefully watching each bite that goes into my mouth. Saturday is my "Free Day" and I will splurge on that day. Well that's today's update, take care!

If you've lost weight please let me know so I can celebrate with you! Leave a comment below :D
