. . . only healthy stuff. Do you ever just get tired of hearing yourself whine? That's where I was yesterday. So after posting yesterday's thoughts, I decided to kick my butt in gear and get back to focusing on healthy, not just on calories. I always feel better when I focus on health and not just on the weight.
Yesterday was pretty good although it was a little heavy on the carbs - blueberries and vanilla greek yogurt for breakfast, Kashi Lemongrass Coconut Chicken frozen dinner for lunch, wheat thins and hummus for a snack, a chocolate vitatop for another snack, and chicken/apple sausages on wheat buns with greek pasta salad for lunch. I also had a KIND Coconut and Almond bar right before I went to dance class. I ended the day at just over 1900 calories, a little higher than planned, about 150 calories over my goal.
After dance I stopped by the market to pick up some more healthy snacks for the week. I ran across some buttermilk cheese that sounded interesting, picked out some pretty plums and apples and stocked up some hummus from my favorite local restaurant. I really try to keep healthy snacks around that are easy to take with me to work so I can keep my regular meals smaller.
Today was also pretty healthy. Breakfast was a canadian bacon and raw spinach on a sandwich thin and I added some of the buttermilk cheese. Interesting flavor, kind of mild with a cheddar flavor. For a morning snack I had raw broccoli and sliced cucumbers with hummus. So yummy. Lunch was organic turkey, raw spinach, buttermilk cheese and Dijonnaise on Ezekiel sesame bread. I am generally not a sandwich eater but this was so good and very satisfying. It's almost 3pm and I still have over 800 calories left for today. I have my cooler that right now holds a KIND snack bar, a small cucumber salad, and some kale salad so a snack later before dance class should not throw me off my targets. And dinner after dance class tonight should be ok because I am having sushi with the girls.
I feel better and I am not hungry. There is something about eating healthy that just makes you feel good.
