Big oops.

I forgot how much snacking can add up. It's especially bad because I did that grocery shopping. I'm ashamed to list everything I ate. I was using the Lose It! app to count my calories and I'm already almost 1,000 calories over and I haven't finished entering everything yet. Gah! To think I'd prided myself because I ate apples and seeds instead of chocolate. Some difference it made!

Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. I'm going to eat a cereal bar for breakfast, with a glass of chocolate milk. For lunch I'll only touch my fruit. Dinner is a family thing, so it's harder to predict or control. I'm going to track everything and put a mark on my calendar either good or bad. And I'll track my weight twice a week - I love seeing the number go down.

shopping

I went to the store and bought $30 worth of food!

Sunflower seeds, cereal bars, McIntosh apples, 2 nectarines, 2 peaches, 2 lbs of cherries, green tea, beef jerky, saltines, hummus

I love adding pics to my posts now.

Plan for Nov 15th

I've decided to learn from the mistakes of today and plan my meals ahead of time.
I need to learn to limit myself to something simple for a meal, and allow myself to have a snack - but it has to be a healthy snack.  Lunch has me worried, but I know that the tomato soup is very filling for me, and hopefully will allow me to eat lighter afterwards.


Breakfast:
a bowl of Cap n' Crunch

 240 calories

Snack:
apple or orange

60 calories

Lunch:
Grilled cheese & tomato soup 

420 calories

Snack:
apple or orange

60 calories

That will leave me with 652 calories for my dinner, which is unknown right now.
