Day 5

Dec 26, 2010

First off, YAY me for actually blogging at night and not forgetting.

Today was rather uneventful. I've been trying to nurse my hubby back to health, so we just stayed in and kept in quiet. I really focused on my eating today, specifically working on getting more protein and eating less fat. I actually came up with a really good recipe that was very satistfying. I made mashed pototoes and turkey breast for dinner, and I knew I couldn't have a lot of mashed potatoes, so I boosted them up (in taste and bulk) with some yummy sauted onions and mushrooms. It was very satistfying and I kind of felt like it was redemption for the pizza incident from yesterday. I had soup for lunch, and my normal scrambled eggs. Today was the first day that I can honestly say I ate every meal slowly and deliberately, and I was really proud of that.

Emotionally, today was a little bit similar to yesterday. I Skyped (for the first time) with my Grandpa and Grandma, and it was so nice to see there faces. I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug them. We didn't get to talk for long. I really do miss them. (I know that I said that  in the last blog, but you may as well get used to it. LOL.)

It's really snowing, and I am really not looking forward to the errands I have to run tomorrow. If Carlos is still under the weather, then I may have to do some shoveling of the walk. I also have a bunch of stuff to mail, and some shopping to do. It's weird, but I'm not as worried about the shoveling or the errands as I am about the temptation to eat fast food. I just have to keep reminding myself of my lack of self-control when it comes to eating out. Hopefully, by acknowledging the problem here, in print, I will be able to stick to my guns.

Well, this isn't a very exciting blog post, but it's cathartic to write about my day. I will be back tomorrow with another post, maybe more interesting, maybe not. You'll have to read and see!
