OK OK OK...I'm officially addicted to desserts! I've dropped sodas and fried food, no problem, I don't even care about having those, but I can NOT stop eating desserts....three in one day...gosh! I think right now my goal should be to gradually wean myself insead of trying to set such a low number as having only 2 a week. SO my new goal is to have only one a day and smaller portions. Then once I can do that, I'll move it to one every other day, and so forth until I can control myself and have only 2 a week. PLUS once people aren't bringing us meals anymore it will be easier to not keep desserts in the house where I am constantly tempted. Other than the desserts though, I am feeling pretty good and enjoying eating healthier stuff. That part is easy, it's the eliminating stuff that's hard.

Well I was having a really rough day as far as being extremely sore in unmentionable areas so I decided to have some cake and eat it too. I know I shouldn't self soothe or reward myself with food, but today was just one of those days and I needed that cake and ice cream! I did well with my other food choices and didn't over do it with the dessert, but I did however, go past my goal of only having 2 desserts per week. Other than that though, today was pretty good. I should have had a few more fruits and vegetables but I did have a lot of whole grains as well. I am looking forward to being able to exercise and am SO ready to be healed from all of this birth stuff...I could manage the lack of sleep a lot better if I wasn't so sore!

I think today I did well. For dinner I was at a girl's night and instead of going back for seconds like I usually would do, I just got regular portions the first time around and even though I could have eaten more, I refrained. I did a lot better with drinking more water today too.

Monday

I think I've done very well today as far as my eating goes. I do need to drink a bit more water, but other than that I did well. Here's what I ate today:

Sandwich: 100% whole wheat bread, avacado, tomato, cheddar cheese, mustard, spinach

1 nectarine

Whole Grain tortilla chips (about 7)

Handful of Goldfish crackers

1 Granny Smith apple

Pasta with sundried tomato alfredo sauce and lots of spinach

1 glass Sprite Zero (I know I said no soft drinks, but this we already had so I'll drink it until it's gone)

Water
