Day 5...

Today is Day 5!!!

Well I had some candy yesterday for V-day...kind of felt like I cheated. ah! I was back up to 198.0 this morning. Not too concerned though for being up one day...we shall see what tomorrow brings.

I was reading Elie Kriegers book last night....and I found one paragraph to be enlightening to me...she is talking about the foods we eat Usually, Sometimes and Rarely. Usually foods are whote wheat, veggies, fruit and lean meats. Sometimes are refined grains, certain veggies and fruit (like fried potatoes), and meats. Rarely was candy, coconut, full fat deserts, full fat meats... I don't know why...it just struck me. Wow...I mean my usually foods are refined grains, candy, and fruit. I really don't have my food priorities straight. With the help of Body for Life I see how to make a meal now out of Usually foods...but I am still eating too many rarely foods as sometimes or usually foods. I think that when I eat something now it will help me think...is this something I should eat usually, sometimes, or rarely? And...how am I eating it now?

So...meal plan for today...forgive me because I did a horrible job planning this morning since I was up a LOT last night with my 7 month old.

Breakfast: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 WW bagel

Snack: 1/4 cup trail mix, kashi bar

Lunch: Taco Pasta (lean soy protein, green peppers and pasta)

Snack: 1/4 cup trail mix, kashi bar

Dinner: 1/2 WW pita, 1/2 c. ricotta cheese, tomatos, and spinach.

I already ate two mini almond joys this morning too...darn V-day...this should be a rarely food...I need to recognize that.

I plan to meal plan for all of next week today too, so I am prepared for shopping this weekend.
