Day 6

Today was a much better day as far as food choices go, though I will still probably have a snack before bed (which means I'll edit this post tomorrow), I'll list for you what I ate today:

Breakfast:
90-calorie Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter bar (I was not hungry at all.)

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine meal with bow tie pasta, chicken, green beans, and cherry tomatoes in some sauce. It was not delicious AT ALL (even with some pepper I added for flavor) and I will NOT be eating it again! On the plus side, it was only 210 calories! YAY!

Dinner:
Marinated Chicken breast cooked on the grill and a side salad (romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup of cheese, and 1 tbsp of Ranch dressing (339 calories)

***EDIT Snack: 
Tablespoon of Jiff Peanut Butter and a 90-calorie Fiber One Bar***

Total calories: 639 (plus my snack which will be edited in later) ***EDIT: 824 calories Total***
Exercise: I cleaned my house. 'nuf said. :)

Only this afternoon after my unsatisfying lunch did I feel "hungry" and boy was I ravenous! But! I resisted the urge to try to splurge on something, even since we went to the movies today. I settled for just a diet Pepsi and some Harry Potter! Tonight at dinner, I couldn't even finish my whole meal. I suppose this means that my stomach is shrinking back to its normal size after being stretched by overeating.
It is amazing to me to look at the portion sizes I have been eating for this past week and compare them to what is given at restaurants. A meal at a restaurant could be almost 3 meals for me as far as portions go. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all about getting the most for my money, but sheesh! We ate out twice this week (Flannigan's and Tijuana Flats) so I also think about all of the money we've saved too. Yes, I spent more than I normally do on groceries (healthy isn't cheap!) but the added money is less than what we spend weekly go to out to dinner. (I'll need money in the bank to buy new clothes when these finally fall off of me when I try my hardest to keep them up!)

Tomorrow is Day 7 and I will be weighing in and posting a picture. I don't see that there'll be much change, but you never know! :)

Until then... happy Saturday night!
