the weekend...

Friday ended even worse than I thought it was going to be, I ended up eating 2200 calories for the day. I thought I had the day under control after I blogged I made a plan to redeem the morning but, it didn't work out the way I planned. I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold and felt really hungry.

Saturday was a great day for food choices!! I did good and came in 300 calories under my daily allowance. And I ate all day, how did that work???? I better go back and check those good choices for future reference. I had to take my son in to be fitted for a tux to go to a prom that he was invited to. He looked really nice at the fitting. When we got home I made mexican food....well my husband had already started it and I finished it. I had a wonderful taco salad. yummy!!

Sunday was not so good. I did come down with that cold and a fever. I was so hungry all day again. I tried to make good choices and for the most part I did but, I ended up eating 2100 calories. and no exercise. I did identify a couple of triggers for me.
1. I eat when I'm tired.....when I'm up late.
2. I eat when I don't feel good....comfort food!
3. I eat when I'm sad.
and a given....I eat when I'm happy too. But the first three reasons were on my mind this last weekend because I experienced all three. On Sunday I had a large cup of warm tea to help "comfort" myself. It was filling and comforting. ( ok, I did have a half of a bagel with it though) it was a step in the right direction. I'm working on it...I'm not perfect. :)

There are some bad habits that I have dropped and have not gone back to:
1. no mayonaise on sandwiched
2. cream cheese changed to ff cream cheese
3. ranch changed to homemade ff sour cream ranch dip
Good changes that I have now made a part of my life. Hoping to find a few more things to add to the list.

As for today...I was right on with my calories. (I'm up late but, I'm not eating, I have some water right here.) I excercised twice today.....45 minutes doing karate with 10 minutes doing 300 step ups. Then I did 35 minutes on the wii fit plus tonight. I didn't track my water very good today and I think I might be a bit low for the day but, now is not the time to make it up! I'm going to bed.

Have a great day! Make healthy choices!
