I'm not going to recall everything I ate all weekend. Frankly I can't even remember. LOL
But I did great all day Friday until we stayed up late Friday night and I had a small snack. Grrrr.
Saturday was uneventful. No snacking. Woohoo.
Sunday I had my usual smoothie for lunch. And that is where the train went off the tracks. I didn't say just no to anything. I was still hungry after my smoothie and proceeded to eat (not unhealthy) all afternoon. I was so angry at myself. But I blame the smoothie. It just didn't fill me up. And it has protein in it and a ton of other stuff. But still...just a glass of liquid. Not super filling.
Flash back to Saturday..we have been eating at a new salad place in fancy town near us. Basically you go through the line like a Subway and they build your salad, plus they have soups and wraps too. But it's super good. But ya know what's the most interesting...they serve it in a huge stainless steel bowl. It's gigantic. The first time I ordered one, I thought surely I would not be able to finish it. But guess what..I did. And I was full.
So maybe next Sunday, I need to plan on making myself a big vat of salad and actually getting full on greens, veggies and protein..rather than greens, banana and berries (and protein powder). So that's my plan for next weekend and hopefully I will be full after lunch..and after taking the time to eat a giant salad..takes a lot of time and a lot of chewing..neither of which happen when you drink a smoothie..just sayin'.
And tomorrow is Monday..and new day and a new week. Not giving up. I'm learning and I hope to do better in the future. :)

WIAT
This morning I had my usual chia, oats and FOCC breakfast..and ate it all. Woot.
Lunch was left overs from last night, redone. I used the turkey and added apple and a little mayo to make 'chicken salad' and had the squash and a slice of the fake cornbread.
Dinner was turkey 'fried rice' with lots of veggies and a little quinoa on a bed of romaine. I ate plenty and got full.
I had a little kraut this afternoon. And some green drink powder with my tea at dinner.
No cheating and no snacking. But I really need to lay off of the fats. I put fat on my lunch today like crazy..I stayed full..but I'm sure it's not helping me lose weight. So yeah. Hoping I see a tiny bit of progress just from not eating anything between meals. That would be a nice encouragement to see the scale move just a tiny smidge. We will see over the weekend or maybe Monday. Not sure what day I want to weigh in.

WIAT
Today I had my usual FOCC breakfast which was yum and I ate it all. It's not a super huge breakfast but its really filling.
Lunch was broc and carrot in the food processor, mixed with some FOCC, some left over taco meat for the protein and some faker Against All Grain 'corn' bread. I had one slice and put a little bit of honey on it.
Dinner was turkey tenderloin, a piece of ezekial bread and some roasted butternut squash. I put some fat on the squash..coconut oil and palm. It was really good and really filling.
I didn't have a snack, although I almost did, absentmindedly a couple times. But JUST NO and I went on with my day. I did have some milk and chocolate green drink..super healthy and the milk is filling. So that is sort of a snack but the green drink is nutrition, so I don't count that. :)
I think I will get a little bit of kraut and eat it in a few minutes. Kraut isn't bad for me..it has healthy gut stuff..and its not high in calories..and the serving isn't huge. It's a good part of my overall health and I happen to think its yummy.

WIAT (what I ate today)
One of the things I want to do is journal "what I ate today" in an effort to keep track of just that..what I ate today. It will be a way to keep me accountable as far as my meals, and hopefully my lack of snacking. ; )
This morning, I had my usual breakfast, which was my FOCC (flax oil, cottage cheese) with 1/8 cup of oats and unsweetened almond milk and chia. I also grind some flax seeds for the top. And I eat it all every time. YUM.
Lunch was a lentil vegetable salad..heavy on the veggies and light on the lentils..plus some lean chicken protein.
Dinner will be mexican ground turkey, some black beans and veggies. I may eat some avo but I hope not. I am quite motivated so I really don't think I will over eat tonight.
I hope to hop in here most nights and document what I ate, just to keep track and keep me saying 'just no' to eating more than I need to eat. These posts will be short and to the point...just like this one. :)
Ps...the girl and I went to the mall and did some walking today since the gym is closed. It is freaky cold outside and it was miserable getting out but it felt good to walk. And I also got a new fuzzy winter top. I'm cycling through the couple of very warm tops I have and our weather isn't letting up.
