more than just talking about it

So yesterday went well. I had Bunko at a friends house. She made us dinner (chicken Tacos). I brought my scale and measured everything and then didn't eat any of the appetizers or desserts.

Yesterdays calories were 1830.

Today is a day of no temptations. Just me and Jake at home, so I am good. Except today is turning out to be a really hard day. I made good choices this morning, doing an overhaul on my normal breakfast. Normally I would have made eggs and toast. Start out with butter, add some bacon bits, then add the whole eggs, and top with cheddar cheese and toast with butter. That yummy breakfast would normally be 583 calories. So, I used Pam on the pan, did 1 egg, 1 egg white, no bacon, no cheese. I went ahead and splurged on the butter for my toast and ended up with a breakfast that was only 300 calories. I am so glad I am finally learning to make some substitutions and eat better for less calories.

But I have too much time on my hands today and all I want to do is eat. I know I can't eat. I know I shouldn't eat. I know this is too important. But I am bored, and that's all I want to do. I just finished entering in all my food for the day, so I know exactly what I can have for the rest of the day. All I need to do is stick to the plan and go find something to do! Maybe clean this house!

I did try a new vegetable today. Or at least prepared a different way. I had been given some zucchini and zucchini squash, so I sauteed that with some olive oil, onions and tomatoes. I didn't like it much, but Jake thought it was fine. But I am happy that I am tried!
