Hello! I spent a nice afternoon with my family for my younger sister's graduation. My mom has three older sisters, and they all attended. I really enjoy spending time with them and my uncles. The ceremony was emotional, per usual, and very bittersweet. My sister was so happy and excited. I'm so proud of her! She's had so many medical emergencies in the past year, making her graduation that much more special and touching. (See "Environment")
On the way to the school this morning I ate a banana and some Honey Almond Flax. I was going to drink milk before leaving the house, but my stomach wasn't feeling spectacular so I thought better of it.
After the graduation a quaint reception was held. I snacked on a delicious chocolate chip cookie that was worth every bite! Then after the school's reception, all of my family went to the Sizzler. I opted for a grilled cheese. I ate two of the triangles, and also grubbed off some of my sisters' fries. Childish and delicious. Now I'm back home, and I think I'm going to start tidying up the house in a bit and preparing a list for what's needed for tomorrow. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and I invited her and my sisters over for dinner. I'm also planning on baking a cake in the morning, so it's going to be a busy day!

For the first time since Saturday I didn't wake up ravenous this morning! Actually quite the opposite; I almost wasn't hungry at all. I prepared breakfast at home anyway, knowing that I'd need to eat with my med. That half a banana and portable thermos filled with milk I'm taking to work with me.
Have an enjoyable day! Good morning! It's fun starting off a shorter work week. It just makes everything seem easier! I didn't get to the orange yet. That's coming to work with me.
I hope all of your weeks are off on the right foot. And if not, it's only Monday so there's plenty of room for improvement =) Sunday morning again! Ya know, maybe the weekends and weekdays would both be better if the sun ever came out again. Like ever ... is that going to happen NY?? I know Ryan and I are going food shopping later, but I'm not sure what else'll be on the schedule. Stay tuned!
I think that early Saturday morning is my favorite part of the weekend. I can get up whenever I want and I typically have no where to rush to. I'm caught up on sleep, generally feel good, and the whole weekend is still ahead of me. It's a very relaxing time of day. I always really enjoyed the GoLean waffles because there's vanilla extract in the ingredient list, and you really can taste it. I love, love, love vanilla.
So, my day is open. I'm not sure what's in store just yet. Enjoy all your Saturdays =) Friday! We made it! At first I couldnt' decide what fruit I wanted to eat with it, and then halfway through I started craving banana. So I went back to the kitchen and sliced up half a large one. Now I'm getting ready to head off to work. I'd be a bit more excited about the weekend, but I feel like my infection has come back =( I am in pain and it's no fun. I'm going to follow up with my Dr at work. Ugh!
Hopefully everyone else's Fridays are off to a better start! Alright, so I'm sure you're all wondering what happened with my dinner last night. Basically, I had been craving Cold Stone since the night before, but knew that pizza and ice cream would be too much for an early night. So yesterday when I got home from work I realized I was still thinking about the ice cream. Being that I was alone for dinner I started thinking about what I could throw together. I finally decided that I wasn't in the mood to eat something that I really didn't want just to say I had dinner; I wanted to eat what I was craving. So rather than loading on dessert calories, I just ate the dessert as my meal. I do not recommend this, and I rarely ever do this. But I feel like I can get away with it from time to time because I strive to eat as healthy as I can overall. And I must say, it was quite tasty! I'm back on track this morning with a big bowl of U cereal, and a nice large banana.
It's still rainy and gloomy here in NY, but the weekend is almost here so that's something to be cheery about! Here's to a quick work day, hopefully! This morning I started with a nice big bowl of U cereal. It tastes even better in milk! I think one of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because it includes walnuts. I don't come across that often in cereal. Happy Humpday! After today the week should just glide into the weekend, hopefully!
This morning I decided to stray from my regular bowl of cereal and toast me up some waffles. I used to eat the Kashi GoLean waffles all the time a couple years ago, and then got bored of them. But this weekend when I was food shopping they popped into my head, and I though it'd be a nice switch. I had a small glass of milk on the side. And now it looks like we're heading into another rainy Tuesday here in New York. Come on June, where'd you go??
Have a good day! I want to apologize. I feel like I haven't been the most thrilling blogger lately. Do you ever just get in a down mood sometimes and can't seem to shake it? For some reason this entire weekend I was very blah, but last night I definitely broke out of my funk. I am feeling tons better today and am so happy to be over it. By the time the training was over, I ate everything photoed. For breakfast I ate dry "U" cereal. It's my first time trying that cereal and I think it's absolutely delicious! I also ate the grapes, and drank some milk that's inside that travel mug. For lunch time I ate a peanut butter and raspberry preserves sandwich on Ezekiel bread, baby carrots, and an apple. I felt so much better eating my own food versus having to settle with what was offered. When I got home I immediately went for my typical yogurt snack. I ate some vanilla Chobani with pecans, and drank my cranberry juice/water mix. Still working on getting better!! Also, major accomplishment: Since starting this blog, and because of starting this blog, I have been binge-free for one whole month. Everything I have eaten since May 8th has been documented here. No more, no less. It is such a wonderful feeling to have such control over my eating, and also have it seem so easy. Photographs make you really listen to your body. They definitely nip that feeling of remorse or defeat in the bud! Thank you all for all of your support, and for following my blog! It really means so much to me, and it's such great motivation to stay on track and achieve my goals.
Thank you! =) |
