Woke up this morning to having gained 2
pounds back. bummer. Back at 227.
Exercise: ~Handheld
weights off and on all day. Each weight is 8 lbs.
~100 crunches. Thought I was going to die on the last one!
~walked for 20 minutes while talking on the phone. It goes by soo much faster that way.
Breakfast:2 slices of 9 grain bread toasted with cucumbers and cream cheese. glass of ice water.
Lunch: Half of a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Half of a green apple, 1 tbl. of humus (chick peas, lemon, oregano,olive oil) Glass of ice water with a lemon.
Snack:I didn't finish my apple or humus so I ate the rest. I forced myself to have a few sips of V8 juice.
blehhh!
Dinner: Gumbo and Brown rice. :Boiled chicken in 4 q. of water and 4 tbl. no cholesterol roux. added sauteed veggies (bell pepper,onion, garlic, green onion, celery, shallot, and parsley and seasoning-bay leaf and tony's) ate 1/4 c. of brown rice. I ate it all in a mug so I know that it wasn't more than 1 Cup of food. 10 multi grain crackers.
After dinner:
I had a major case of the munchies after dinner. I baked a peach and about two tbl. of uncooked "weight control maple oatmeal" , a handful of granola, some 1% milk and a packet of splenda and some cinnamon. turned out pretty good. .............................
there was ice cream in the freezer from 2 months ago...untouched and freezer burned. I had a table spoon of that on top. 
Then I threw the almost full tub of ice cream away. *pats self on shoulder*
On that note, I did something else great today! At lunch I was eating and got full before I finished and so I immediately rapped up my apple and humus and stuck it in the fridge for later! ahhhhhhhhhhh! This may sound silly to some, but for me--it's a milestone. I am slowly getting back in the habit of stopping when full and saving the rest for later...or *gasp* throwing it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
