Well, I've survived a few days. I have eaten right, exercised, and it's all coming together. My attitude's better. I don't feel like crawling under a rock anymore. Let the snowball effect begin!
Today I have my last class. YAY! Bio final. I'm relatively prepared, unlike my precalculus 1 class, which I will unfortunately be retaking in the fall. I didn't fail, but I want a better grade. Gotta focus.
Random: I write down an inspirational quote every day as a theme for the day. Today, I was looking for something about education, but I did that yesterday. So today, I'm feeling sassy and eager for summer break, so the quote I found today is this: "Life must be lived as play." Guess who wrote this gem? Plato! I'm going to try my best, between exams and grocery shopping and bill-paying and kid-schlepping, to get some play in today. I'd advise you all to do the same. My play these days is sewing, but I'm thinking I may have to get down and dirty with some crayons and paper today, maybe on the floor with my two boys. Heck, I may even break out the glitter and glue!
On to the foodie goodness. I'm trying to give myself a few hundred calories leeway, as we all know from previous posts that I struggle with nighttime snacking. So, this way, I have a few calories to spare for that. I don't include it in my totals til the next day, because I don't know what it is. It could be light microwave popcorn, more fruit, or some cheese. I've been doing better with the night, but I still crave something around 9-10. It's a work in progress, I'm just happy I'm eating healthy again and sticking to CR.

I've had a habit of snacking or having a late meal before bed for years. Lately I have combated this by doing one of two things:
ReplyDelete1st: I have one or two *large* mugs of green tea with stevia.
2nd: I save one of my oatmeal meals (or other healthy type meal, but not a large one) for closer to bed time that way I don't go to be too hungry.
I may even do a combo of the two. I've found that one of the easiest ways to combat a habit is to replace it with a similar but healthier habit. I do the same thing for taboo foods. Replacement recipes ftw! :-)
Love it. You sound great! I want to read tomorrow about how you play today!!! Whoo hoo!
