Day Forty-four

So all this week my clothes have fit better and I look skinnier.  I am interested to see the truth on the scale tomorrow.  I have eaten differently this week so we'll see.  I didn't try to limit myself but also didn't seem to go overboard and felt satisfied overall.  Last night, Thursday, I thought I was going to get a bit more of a work out helping a friend do some house moving.  By the time I showed up, after work, it was pretty much done.  I moved a few boxes and helped move a desk but didn't get close to a work out.  Tomorrow is my personal trainer day so I will get a work out for sure.  Won't be doing the pig out thing though as we aren't meeting Saturday night like we usually do.  Ok here's the list of today's indulgences:

Breakfast:  Egg sandwich w/roast beef and peanut butter along with a banana and 20 oz of cold water.

Snack: Greek yogurt

Lunch: Did a different type of lunch today.  Had a turkey burger from Costco on a skinny bun.  It had a slice of swiss cheese and tomato, also some peanut butter.  I also had carrot chips with hummus for dipping.

Snack: Apple

Dinner: Home made version of Won Ton soup.  Made with low sodium chicken broth, scallions, broccoli, garlic, scallops, and small pot stickers.  Not bad and I will try it again, spicier though.  I also had a glass and a half of red wine.  I've been craving ice cream all week so picked up a couple of the little ice cream cups and had one after dinner.  Here's where it gets fun.  I wanted the other one but forced myself to look at the calorie count on the container.  Yes it's a small serving but still 280 calories so if I had both that would be equal to a full meal ( what I shoot for approx.).  So I convinced myself that tomorrow would be a better time to have the other one.

The take away for me is if I can look objectively at food consumption I may have a chance to lose some weight.  I'm trying everyday to figure out the puzzle and still not be obsessed with it.  In other words live my life but make smart decisions where it counts.  Haven't gotten there yet but am slowly working towards it.  Remember it took 50 years for me to get where I am today, so it won't all change in a day.
