Ok, everyone's seems so chipper on this board, and I'm really beginning to feel down. I was doing ok with eating earlier this week. Or at least I thought I was. That was UNTIL I realized my salads contained nearly 750 calories each, and that didn't include the other stuff I was consuming through the day. Unfortunately, I allowed that to get me down so I downed 3Little Debbie oatmeal cookies and a glass of milk one night, and four peanut butter sandwich cookies the next.
I have yet to start an exercise program, but I did have a salad for lunch today, and the other 1/2 of it for an after school snack. It consisted of lettuce, mushrooms, colliflower (sp?), tomatoes, 1/2 a serving of roast beef, 1boiled egg, 1/2 serving cheese, and cesar salad dressing. Now before I was using ranch dressing @ 120 calories per serving x's 2 because i like salad dressing so well. I've been able to cut those calories in 1/2 just from changing salad dressings alone. I ended up having a bowl of maccaroni and cheese for supper, 2 glasses of sweetened tea, and a 24 oz bottle of fully loaded Pepsi!!!! oh, did I mention the cupcake that was brought in at lunch for the Spirit Day today? ugh....
Now I'm sitting here feeling all down and in the dumps as if I've completely fallen off the wagon. However, I must admit I still have the fixings for salad in the fridge, and I do intend on having yet another salad tomorrow. That will give me salads for I think it's five days in a row now. (Which for me is pretty good.) I tend to get tired of eating the same thing over and over.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was anyone else out there feeling down too, or perhaps it's just me?
