Diary of a Compulsive Overeater - Day 22

well yesterday went well... i am so tired today though. i went golfing last night, and it was fun, but i keep realizing just how out of shape i am. everything hurts today. the food was fine for yesterday, but nothing spectacular, but the big achievement was that i did not binge. 2 days no bingeing! this makes me happy. here is how it all broke down:

breakfast:
breakfast bagel
1/2 big cookie

snack:
1/2 big cookie
1 yogurt
mini carrots
22 almonds

lunch:
1 cup w/w pasta
2/3 cup tomato sauce
1 italian sauasge, crumbled
tossed salad with tomatoes, cukes, olive oil dressing
1 avocado

snack:
1 banana

snack: (before golfing)
1 chicken wrap with little cheese, avocado, tomatoe, sprouts sour cream and grilled chicken

supper:
(chinese food)
1 small bowl wonton soup
20 dried garlic ribs
15 spears of stir fried broccoli
2oz of bbq pork

so all in all, not a bad day. i'm so sore, from the first round of golf of the season... owwwie! but my eating wasn't that bad... (i know the ribs are deep fried, but they are yummy, and i love them, and usually i can easily eat 2 or 3 times that amount.) it was good for me to go to a buffet and see if i could do it without gorgeing myself, and i did. yay me.

so today, i have a long walk planned.... not sure how long, but i'm supposed to do 10k, but i am just going to go as far as i can, and not get disappointed if i dont finish. for food, today i am having my twice-weekly steak dinner (wednesday and saturdays usually) and i am goign to try something new today: only 1 cup of rice. normally i have it with almost 3 cups, so i'm going to try the smaller amount and see if it works, then next week, i will decrease the size of the steak. little steps. so here is the plan for today:

breakfast:
1 cup kashi (almost done the box, thank god. yuck)
1 cup skim milk
1 banana

snack:
1 small yogurt
mni carrtos
22 almonds

lunch: (last day of leftovers. again, thank god.)
1 cup w/w pasta
2/3 cup tomato sauce
1 italian sauasge, crumbled
tossed salad with tomatoes, cukes, olive oil dressing

snack:
1 apple sauce
22 almonds
granola bar (if hungry)

supper:
280g steak (remember, this is a half-size steak for me)
1cup, i repeat 1 cup of rice
mushroom sauce

so all in all not a bad plan for the day. also with walking at least 5k today and waling to work, i will add minimum 450 exercise calories... i'm pretty happy today, but tired and sore so i hope i can happily make it through the day

also, for the half-marathon i'm walking in a month, i was getting really discouraged because i couldn't make it over about the 6.5k mark without wanting to die. my girlfriends told me that i don't have to worry about finishing the race. they will come rescue me if i can't do it. this was not a set back for me, but actually freed me to just do as much as i can do without the pressure of "i MUST finish". now my thinking is "i must TRY to finish". it seems alot more attainable, and who knows, i may finish it. have a good day.
