Another New Day

Yesterday was not too bad. I did keep good control. I did not drown myself in pop and actually got in a lot of water (I didn't log what I had at night, which I think was like 5 or 6 glasses). I also forgot to mention that I was half tempted to go eat at the ice cream shop last night, but I made supper and avoided the temptation. Well, Jessica is so right that this journaling stuff works, so let's get today started.

9:05 - coffee (I do it iced with a slight amount of sugar and some creamer) That is all so far. Of course I am not hungry yet. I have some editing work for the day which really causes me stress. I am on tight deadlines (like an hour turnaround) and it can be hard to get any time away from the computer. Hope I can make good choices.

10:33 - Have to work soon so I grabbed lunch at the ice cream shop. Never fear, I just got a sandwich. It could have been much worse. We are having grilled chicken for supper, so a low cal supper makes up some for this bad lunch.

6:30 - Had my chicken - ended up being a grilled chicken sandwich, but that was all I had for supper and it was filling. I've had three pops today. Around 4 we did our 5K training, day 1. This was 1.25 miles in 30 minutes. My shins started hurting. I have no clue why since they have not hurt since that first couple times. I hate it when my shins hurt. I was about to cry. Guess I must wrap them now.

Well, tonight was a total crapper. I had another sandwich and half a brownie. Plus I ended at 5 pops for the day. However, with my new found outlook about each day being a new day, I am not going to dwell, but rather take away some lessons that I learned today.

First, I have now discovered that a mid-morning, brunch type meal works best for me to keep hunger at bay all day.

Second, I now know that if I drink pop before dinner that it will throw me off.

So, I will take this knowledge with me for tomorrow - because it is a new day.
