24-Day Weight Loss Challenge - Day #2

Today was much better than yesterday! :)

Breakfast - Fiber drink, chocolate meal replacement shake, Spark energy drink
Lunch - Salad w/green peppers, cucumbers, spinach, sunflower seeds, smoked turkey breast, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Afternoon Snack - Large apple w/organic peanut butter
Dinner - Smoked turkey breast sandwich on wheat with/light mayo and broccoli w/cheese
Late Snack - Sugar-free cherry sno-cone and ETA banana
Daily activity: None (although do dishes count? I did those for over an hour tonight!)
Water: 85 oz.

I was SO tired today. I didn't get to bed until after midnight since I was up late taking an exam and it threw my whole day off. I only worked a half day too and so by the time I got home from the dentist (I had my 6 month check-up), it was 2:00 and I hadn't eaten since around 10:30 so I was starving. I decided to take a nap afterward and that didn't help much so I'm probably going to turn in early tonight.

Dinner kind of sucked. Matt is back doing low-carb and so he cooked breakfast for him and everyone else. I bought the cheap turkey from the Walmart deli and boy was that a mistake?! It was not white meat and it was very processed and very greasy. Yuck! I am definitely going to pick up some more turkey breast tomorrow and so I guess I'll have to actually fork out some money for some decent lunch meat.

Instead of mindlessly eating tonight (one of my most difficult times of the day), I decided to sit down and color with Collin. He loved the one-on-one time and it helped me keep my mind off of food. So yay for the small victories! :)

Thanks. I ate a banana after this post. I was down on my fruit (and low on calories too!) so I didn't feel guilty. :)

Nope - don't feel guilty about fruit! It's nature's candy!
