Katie Day 3

Let me just say in the beginning of this post that getting back on the diet wagon is proving to be a bit of a challenge for me :( I had the munchies ALL day! I didn't give into the sweet tooth during the day, but still it was hard! I also didn't really keep track of my calories, I started out good in the morning with my usual cereal and milk but then for lunch Dan wanted Thai food so we went out to this YUMMY new Thai restaurant and I have no idea how many calories I ate there. I did keep my portion of Masaman Curry small and I only had a little rice, but again I don't know how many calories are in the Chicken Curry and rice that I did eat. I wanted seconds soooo badly but I did practice some self control and just had one serving. Then we went on a walk Dan pretty much totally talked me into walking cause I wanted to go back home and take a nap, but Im glad we went on a walk. After our walk I had the munchies big time so when we got home I got out my homemade guac and pop chips and ate some. But here is where I failed, I don't know how many chips I had or how much guac I ate. I should have counted out 1/2 portion of chips and measured out my guac cause that would have satisfied me and I would have known how much I consumed. For dinner I didn't feel like cooking and making a mess in the kitchen so we went out to Sweet Tomatoes and I did good there, but I don't know for sure the calories I consumed. I don't think I ate that many calories cause I had a good salad with greens and veggies, 1 Tbs of raisins, 1 Tbs of sunflower seeds, and 1 scoop of egg. Kaisi taught me the best trick ever for salad dressing, instead of pouring the dressing on the salad just dip your fork into the dressing and then pick up a bite of salad. That way you eat way less dressing but still get the yummy taste of fat full ranch! INGENIOUS!!! I also had 1/2 a slice of bread with about 1 tsp of honey butter on it, and a small amount of chocolate yogurt. Dinner was nice and satisfying, but as I said before I don't know how many calories I ate :( I agree with the pointers that Shelley gave, I do WAAAAY better when I figure out before hand my calories before I go into a restaurant, I was just lazy yesterday and didn't do it. But that is just a dumb idea cause I feel so much better about dieting when I take a few minutes and figure out what I am going to eat.

Since I am posting this on Saturday morning, let me just say that I am PROUD of myself today already!! I went to Safeway this morning to get stuff for dinner as I am making a roast in the crock pot and needed carrots and beef stock. Anyhow I think I would have given my left leg to have a doughnut from the bakery, those doughnuts were pretty much shouting my name today as I walked into the store. Sooo I didn't even go close to the bakery!! I knew that if I saw a doughnut I would be able to resist buying one, and I made it out of the store doughnut free. YAY! I did buy some skinny cow ice-cream sandwiches so that tonight when I want Dan to make more no bake cookies I will eat a skinny cow instead :)

Until tonight ... Happy Dieting!!!
