After 2 holiday weeks where the holidays fell on Monday and Tuesday I'm really ready for a normal week next week. Even if that means more work days! I am currently sitting in the car dealership waiting for my passenger airbag to be repaired because of a recall notice. There was an apparent risk of explosion so probably good to get that taken care of.
Food Journal Thursday 1/3/19
Breakfast - breakfast burrito from McDonalds
Lunch - egg bake, 1/2 cup peas
Snack - toast, PB, honey, banana slices
Snack - apple
Dinner - pork tenderloin, roasted carrots, 1/2 cup wild rice
Key takeaways:
I have weird hangups about eating before I think I'm ready which often leads to waiting too long to eat and then I'm so hungry I make bad choices or need to compromise on quality of food. Yesterday's breakfast is a perfect example. I had a doctor appointment and didn't want to eat before that because I'm vain about the scale. After that I needed to make a site visit for work so wasn't going to be in a place to heat up my egg bake. My solution was to grab a burrito from McDonalds. Calorie wise not the end of the world but certainly not real whole food.
Either I need to find more portable meal options or just eat when I have the chance and worry about being hungry later. I always panic that I'm going to get hungry at some future point. As if I couldn't just have a snack.
If I feel the need to snack I should choose healthy options. I did that today for the most part.
I've started exchanging food journals with my mom and brother for added accountability. We all have similar issues so might be helpful for us to see how we're alike and different. Time will tell. For now I feel confident. The scale isn't moving much this week but it's down from yesterday so that is good.
