be social and not eat and drink? I had people over both Fri and Sat night and they all bring food and wine. On top of that, I had food and wine! On Fri I ate but went easy on the drinks. On Sat I drank and went easy on the food. Either way I failed at this diet thing. I can drink 1000 calories in no time! My dietitian, Lindsey, suggested a glass of water between drinks and healthy food choices. I tried to make healthy food choices but Pam makes the best potato salad EVER! So I had potato salad and nothing else. Three hours later I had a chicken wing--just 1. Unfortunately, I didn't implement the water between drinks idea. When you are gabbing with a bunch of people the last thing you think about is if you had enough veggies or proteins for the day.
The Dr upped my dose last time I was there and I started the higher dose today. Hopefully that helps a bit. I think most of the eating I do is subconscious. I cut up some veggies or put popcorn out and while I am reading. I eat and the next thing I know it is gone. Today I measured out what I was eating and put the rest back. That way I could only eat what was right in front of me. I have to get better at this portion control thing. Sometimes a portion sounds right, but when you look at it you swear it isn't going to be enough. I have to be more strict and stay with the portion and not heap or embellish.
Here's to another day! Today I am grateful for:
Friends and Family. Everyone needs them and mine are wonderful
my girls. They are both home sick today and I am sad that I am working
Indian Summer. I love that warm week just after the leaves turn.
