Not as great, but still Good

I did not do as well today, but I'm still making better choices. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

I had the first appointment slot at the dentist's office this morning, so I couldn't eat before leaving the house. So on the way to work after having my teeth cleaned, I stopped at Hardee's and got a sausage biscuit for breakfast. This is a VAST improvement over my usual selection of TWO sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits.


For lunch, I took a can of soup to work with me. Chicken & Wild Rice with about 2/3 of a sleeve of saltines. (I like a little bit of soup with my crackers.)


Snack time came in the form of some truly delicious Roasted Garlic crackers from Kashi. They sort have a shredded wheat texture, so they're very satisfyingly crunchy & hearty without weighing you down. Those with 2 oz of Colby cheese really hit the spot.

Dinner was a special treat tonight. When I made my plans to go on this journey, I decided to allow myself one 'splurge' dinner each week so I didn't feel like I was 'giving up the good stuff'. So tonight's New York Strip & baked potato & salad was delicious. I made the salad my largest portion of the meal. Put two hard-boiled eggs on it, along with some low-fat shredded cheese, and some salad topper stuff that included sesame crunches & sunflower seeds. Because the salad filled me up so much, I shared part of the steak with my dog (lucky, lucky Pico!!!) and only ate half of the potato.


So, again... not a super great day, but still miles better than my usual fare. Which means that I am still improving. And it's only Day #2, so I can only go up from here! :)
