Weigh-In

I might get to go to Europe in 5 weeks.  When I found this out I got all sorts of plans that I could lose 10 pounds in that time.  That would be great!  But the problem I have when I really concentrate on the result and not the method is that I start to binge a bit more.  I re-learned this and after a day of eating pizza, I was up .4 for for my weigh-in.  I guess it could be worse.

My focus for this coming week is to be
1.  No sweets and Chips - no matter what.  (It is not forever, just for right now.)
2.  Get a very clear mental picture of not just what I want to look like at goal, but how I'm going to act in certain situations.

Tomorrow is weigh-in and this is what I ate.

Breakfast - Coconut Chia Granola with 30 calorie Almond Milk

Lunch - 2 Pieces Little Caesars Pizza

Moroccan Chicken Salad

Dinner - le crouix soda water
3 pieces of left over pizza

Note:  My thin sister in law drinks this brand of soda water and I thought I would give it a try since it was on sale.  It was nasty but started to grow on me by the end of the can.  
Since I ate more for lunch than I planned, I thought I could get away with just drinking a fizzy drink as my meal.  That was a mistake.  I need to not punish myself like that by withholding food later for three reasons.  

1. It never works and I eat anyway - usually unhealthy foods because it was unplanned.  

2.  I need to respect my body and the need for it to have fuel to function.

3.  This is a lifestyle - NOT a diet.

What I Ate - Friday

Breakfast - one egg and toast

Lunch - Subway Turkey Sub

Dinner - Spaghetti Squash with sauce and cheese

What I Ate - Tuesday.2

Breakfast
2 cups of Coconut Chia Granola with a little 30 cal. Almond Milk

Lunch

Thai Food (I took my Kindergartener out for lunch)

Snack

Thai Food Again

Two spoonfuls of Nutella (What's that doing in my house anyway?!)

Dinner

Thai Food Again

Dried bananas (lots)

1/4 cup mac and cheese

A few handfuls of granola

Note

My husband has been out of town for three days now and we're all feeling it.  The boys miss him and they are driving me crazy. Also, I got a free coupon for a photo book at Shutterfly and had to finish it yesterday so I ignored the boys when they got home from school (I recipe for disaster.) and worked on the book.  It turned out great, but I sure paid for it with lots of grumpy boys.  

Anyway, I let emotional eating take over.  Something I will try better to keep in check.  Also, it could have been worse and that I am proud of.

Exercise

I was planning on a walk.  (Something that would have helped my emotional eating.)  But since the pest control guys were coming to spray my house I decided to clean so it wouldn't be gross for them.  Better than sitting around, but cleaning doesn't give me the emotional boost that walking outside does.
