Day 141

It's the end of the week and weigh in is just 24 hours away.  My pants all week have been at belt loop 4 so am hoping for good news tomorrow.  Even if I've not lost any weight I know I've lost something and that's as good as anything.  As I said the last entry I really didn't handle the sugar hit from the donuts and cookies very well.  Which in my mind is a win.  Even though I will still eat that stuff I now know it has to be small quantities.  That plays into my thoughts on quality over quantity that I've tried to work into my eating.  I originally said diet in that last sentence but it's not a diet I'm after.  I am changing the fundamental way I want to approach food.  So quality over quantity makes so much more sense in the long run.  Now I just have to figure out how to get that quality into my meals.  In a day's worth of meals I think if I'm lucky I hit that percentage about 1-2 times out of the 5-6 times a day I eat.  So that might be an area to focus on.  Well here's what hit my plate today:

Breakfast: Egg sandwich with turkey, avocado, and tomato on a skinny bun.  Banana and 20oz of cold water.

Snack: Greek yogurt with almonds

Lunch: Turkey burger on whole wheat bread with tomato and avocado.  Added some peanut butter to the mix and a small serving of 4 Bean salad.  Took some baby carrots but didn't eat those.  Also there were donuts still so had one small chocolate old fashion and a couple of cookies.

Snack: A Larabar (don't remember what flavor)

Dinner: Two salmon burgers with tomato and almond butter.  An apple and two big handfuls of almonds.  It was Friday nite so had three orange juice and vodka drinks over the course of the evening.  I was playing computer video games and so tried to not eat mindlessly.  Probably on barely succeeded.  Didn't feel overall though that I over ate.  So another win.  I will admit to looking thru the larder at one point hoping there was something bad.  I need to pick up some more microwave popcorn.  That is always a good/bad treat that I feel fills me up for a small amount of calories.
