Day 25

<- Thursday's Food Log

This morning I enjoyed the feeling of wearing my clothes instead of feeling like I was stuffed into them. I started the day off right with a green smoothie, and later driving down the freeway at lunchtime I thought about what I might drive through and pick up - then thought about how I could make something similar but healthier at home and decided not to stop. (I had cooked a batch of red beans in the crock pot with green chilies and tomato paste the night before so there were no excuses.) It seems like I always want to 'treat' myself to something on days I feel thinner. But I am tired of that response, I am ready for some success! This is when I really notice the Accelerate working, when I am tempted but can talk myself down and not give in to craziness.

I had decided to journal my calories today, and after dinner I was still under 1000, so when my honey called from Panda Express I asked for a small veggie chow mein. They have little one cup cartons which are perfect, and I remembered to add my Cheat. I was around 1300 for the day and that sounds about right, I want to stay just under 1500 calories a day to lose weight according to several different calculations. I did notice that percentage wise I had too much fat, and even though most of it was 'good' fat from nuts and avocado I need to keep an eye on that - Core4 do your work tonight burning some of that off!
