Day 62

Breakfast:
Handful of Cashews and Raisins
2 cups of Coffee with Half n Half
So much for eating three good meals a day. I had a bad headache this morning, then don't feel like eating. The coffee was helpful, so I had two cups!

Lunch:
Burgers, Roasted Sweet Potato Fries, Green Beans, Applesauce
For the burgers, I mixed one pound of hamburger with one pound of pork, then added about 1/3 c finely diced onion, two minced cloves of garlic, salt and pepper. They were very tasty and not as dry as just beef alone. One neat trick I learned today is to dimple the raw meat with your fingers; it keeps the burgers from shrinking into a thick small patty.

Supper:
Vegetable Beef Soup

Additional Foods:
2 Satsumas
One Half an Apple
1 small glass Berry Apple Juice

Exercise: Walk 1.5 miles
I could not do much more than that, as my legs and ankles are rather sore from yesterday's slight bit of running!

Day 60

A good day! I think I have finally adjusted to eating three good meals a day with no snacking. I don't think about food nearly as much as I used to. It helps that there is no snacky food in the house, but eating good meals stays with me longer that the poor meals I used to eat.

Omelet, Bacon, Orange Juice

Day 59

I got really close to eating some chocolate today. I have some Milk Chocolate in the back of the cupboard, saved from December. I've always known it was back there, but never thought about it. Until Now. Daughter has been eating it, and then I really want to eat some too. I did take a teeny tiny nibble off of her piece of chocolate; I was surprised, for it did not taste as good as I expected! And I no longer felt like eating chocolate!

Breakfast:
Omelet, Bacon, Orange Juice

Lunch:
2 Satsumas, a Banana, a Handful of Cashews and Raisins, Coffee with Half n Half

Supper:
Vegetable Beef Soup

Other Foods:
Apple

Day 58

The Day I Fall

I made it 57 days without falling to temptation, but today I broke that record. I had a gluten-free brownie. It was not even that tasty. I kept telling myself I don't eat that way anymore, but it had no effect. Did it kill me? No. Am I happy? disappointed? ashamed? No, no, and no. It is just the way it is...I ate a brownie and life goes on. I am looking forwards to tomorrow when I can start a fresh day of healthy eating!

Breakfast:
2 Eggs, Bacon, and Orange Juice

Lunch:
Baked Chicken, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus

Supper:
Leftover Almond Chicken Soup

Other Foods:
Gluten Free Brownie
Coffee with Half n Half
Half an Apple
1 Satsuma

Exercise: None
