Alright, how am I doing so far, on the 4th day into this challenge? Outside of the cookie at our department meeting yesterday I have been doing fairly well. Keeping my portions down and avoiding indulging in unhealthy calories out of hunger. Amir and I finally went grocery shopping yesterday. And after spending time diligently going from flyer to flyer to find the best deals, we were able to purchase two weeks worth of food for $105 (from only one store too!). I was quite impressed. And that included quite a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. I can't believe how excited I was to get home and make a giant salad. Today's menu is: Breakfast: yogurt and a piece of fruit Lunch: Salad Dinner: Burritos and dirty rice (small, small, small portion of those) and a salad. Thursday TV Watching Snack: Fruit (not the popcorn, chips, chocolate, candy I so crave and usually indulge in). I doubt I will get to the gym today as they are forecasting a giant storm to hit right smack in the middle of the afternoon and into the drive home, so I am sure after sitting in traffic for an hour to go 10 KM, I won't be in any kind of mood to go further away from home to go to the gym. Maybe I will do sit ups/ jumping jacks while I watch TV tonight- just so I'm not a complete no-go today.
