Good day readers ! First of all, thank so much to the few who have read my first post ! This whole blogging is something new to me, so please bare with me. Also, I realized after posting my first blog there were some spelling errors, and my laptop has a mind of it's own at times, so there have been parts of sentences missing - SORRY !
So, interestingly enough, this morning when I weighed myself I was down 3lbs.. woo hoo ! I have not rejoined W. W. however I am very conscious of what I'm putting in my mouth, so that in combination with a great walk with Nicholas on Satruday, and a fabulous workout on Sunday must be working for me - thank God !
I will tell you, through out some of my posts I will include things I've eaten through out the day, moments of weakness and all that 'good' stuff. Essentially this is my outlet, and I find, like a lot of people, that 'writing' things down help to cope, or just make me feel better in general. So continue reading, if you wish :) Also, I welcome any comments any readers would like to make, and suggestions as well ! I certainly don't know everything, but I do know what works for me and am always open to new ideas.
I love love LOVE coffee, and I find myself sometimes filling up on it through out the day. Bonus - it's a diuretic ! However, I like to start my mornings off with a glass of water. I've read that on an empty stomch ROOM TEMPERATURE is the best first thing in the morning, so that's what I do. Apparently, you're less likely to get any cramps etc on an empty stomach. Going back to W. W. points I usually have, daily, a sundried tomatoe bagel toast DRY. I find cutting out little things like butter/margerine help in the long run. I always order a flavoured bagel and honestly, I don't miss the added fat. Another great bagel to try is the mixed berry.. delicious !
Last night, after work @ 9pm I was a little hungry so I conveniently stopped into Mr.Sub, as it was on my way home, and ordered a honey? ham sub on mutligrain. I had the following : NO CHEESE, ham, lettuce, tomatoe, green pepper, cucumber, pineapply & green olives, MUSTARD ONLY. Cutting back, again, on certain condiments etc will add up, in a good way ;)
Anyway, today has been a great day so far ! Water, 1 large coffee ( I've stopped adding cream YEARS ago, and have ONLY fresh milk, and sweetner, if anything) & of course, my sundried tomatoe bagel.
Looking forward to lunch, which will probably be raw veggies and some dip. Oh, this is another thing. I must have ~ 5 bottles of salad dressing in my fridge, this way I never get bored of raw veggies and or salad. I eat tuna religiously as well, and find lots of times I will use ranch OR cucumber dressing instead of mayo or Miracle Whip. I also like mustard in it as well.
Hope you're all having a great day !
