Snack—carrots
Snack—one cup coffee with sugar and
fat-free half-and-half
Dinner—spinach salad with non-
fat feta, dried cranberries, walnuts, and a balsamic vinaigrette; baked salmon without skin with one teaspoon of Japanese ginger dressing; green beans and spaetzle in light sauce
Snack—fresh papaya
Snack—buttery popcorn and two chocolates (was feeling a bit grumpy and deprived—baby steps, right?)
Had a cup of low-
fat cocoa and a baked banana last night after posting, as I stayed up rather late.
I am to be faced with the pizza temptation again tomorrow—some friends are helping me move a new bed into my bedroom and get rid of the old one (whose mattress and box springs are forty years old, so you can see that a replacement is needed), and of course I must buy them beer and pizza. I am determined, however, that no more than two slices of pizza shall be eaten by me, especially considering how badly I felt after my last slip.
Did thirty minutes on the elliptical machine tonight, though it was very hard to get up the
energy at nearly ten o'clock. I didn't want to work out before I had dinner, because I was feeling really drained of
energy and afraid I wouldn't be able to work out as hard as I wanted to. I got through it, anyway.
Eggy, thanks for stopping by. It's hard to think of things I like that could incorporate cauliflower, though. But I bet brussel sprouts could be incorporated happily into some good things. There are still a few veggies that are just not going to happen, though.
Heather, I think you're right. I know that I'm going through a process, that it's not going to always be this hard to make good choices or to keep from feeling ridiculously guilty about the occasional splurge.
