June 21st, 2020 Food Journal
Sundays used to be really tough for me because they're just lazy days and my parents (who I currently live with) also hang with me and they like to splurge on junk food. I stick to my plan though. At this point, I don't even entertain the option of eating the food. It's not an option to me! It's mostly easy for me to resist because I know it will send me down a spiral and make my conditions flare. So, the debate doesn't go on in my head and it's easier to move along. Onto the food for the day!
Breakfast: oatmeal with mango, pineapple, and blueberries , splash of almond milk (lowered my almond milk from 1/2 cup to less than 1/4th - I think I just enjoy the vanilla flavor it adds)
Lunch: Huge bowl of Brussels, Mediterranean veggie blend (zucchini, green beans, carrots), tomatoes, greens, with small sweet potato and Jeff Novick burger (love them), cheese sauce. Had a small bowl of strawberries, grapes and watermelon after.
Snacks: Watermelon (eeks...I kinda had a lot!), grapes
Dinner: Stir fry blend veggies, tomatoes, Brussels, greens, two steamed potatoes, cheese sauce, salsa. Strawberry for dessert.
I finished up this last batch of cheese sauce and I think I'm going to take a break from it temporarily, just because I think it might be a little TOO good
Also, watermelon is SO good this time of year, and it's probably my all time favorite fruit next to mangoes! So, I never buy it because I could eat an entire watermelon in one day. And today, I really went nuts on it! I probably had half of it. It's still calling my name from the fridge haha. Fruit can be a real problem for me. I justify eating it because it's so healthy, but I love fruit so much that I can really eat 500+ calories per day of it, easily. Wish I didn't like fruit so much!
There are fruits I keep around that aren't AS good to me, that I can truly keep as snacks. Those would be apples and strawberries. The fruit I use on my oats are frozen, and that also keeps me from snacking endlessly on them (though I do love snacking on frozen cherries). So, that helps.
Despite the endless watermelon eating, today was pretty dang spot on MWL. Considering making a big batch of soup for the week to try pre-loading. Can't really do salads without wanting a creamy dressing, plus acidic dressing wreak havoc on my teeth.
Not sure if anyone is reading these, but does anyone know how to add pictures to food journals?
