Today is my birthday and I TOTALLY obliterated my baby bowl mission. About the only things I did do were chew thoroughly and eat what I want. Yick. I don't regret going out with my family to celebrate but, boy, did I learn a lot:
-I'm still a long way from "natural" self control. Once I had my plate I went to TOWN, even after I was full.
-I can't WAIT to get back on my baby bowl tomorrow. I just feel SO gross. On my baby bowl I have energy, feel more focused and behave with much more discipline. I like that day MUCH more.
-My body doesn't want me eating like I used to. Without getting into too much detail, I'm paying for it.
-I don't like restaurants dictating what a serving looks like. There is just something so WRONG about "value".
-Thank GOODNESS we ate shortly before 4. My dinner fast is allowing me to work through the FULLNESS. It's so much nicer not to END my day with such a heavy meal. I believe the saying is, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."
-One thing I DID do properly was not forcing dessert. In the past if I wanted dessert but was too full I'd get something to go. Knowing I was getting ready to fast helped a lot but truly, I DID have time to have a treat. It was nice to make the decision NOT to.
Meaningful Movement: Recovered the bod today and just chiiiiiillllled.
Foods that I ate because, frankly, it's my birthday and I went to town. Everything but the *restaurant food fit in my baby bowl:
-Lucky charms
-Lucky charms
-Whole wheat wrap: ham, red onion, spinach, dill dip, cheddar cheese
-Lucky charms
NOTE: Yes, I have a weakness for cereal. I seriously could be happy just eating Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. --And I don't even care it shreads the inside of my mouth.
-*2 mozzarella sticks, ribeye steak, 3/4 cornbread, 4 streak fries, 2/3 medium potato with butter and sour cream, 2 bites of rice and gravy, half and half tea
-Lenten fast: dinner (This was my first dinner fast and I accidentally took a sip of half and half tea after 5. Caught it as soon as I did it. Dang.)

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThanks again! I don't know that I will ever have natural self control. I know it is easier to control what I eat when I am detoxed from certain foods, but I am not doing that on the bbe.
I have not weighed in yet today
-shred wheat (1/2 cup) and a bannnana
-3 small tacos with very little meat however the flour tort.'s were white so very unhealthy (but it was homemade meat)
-McDonalds hamburger with only a very small portion of the top bun no bottom bun and a small fry
-2oz of dark choclate chips
-a few almonds
-choclate milk in the afternoon
-still have to get the body moving
Have a good day and I am proud of you for not beating yourself up for yesterday and starting back to work today.
Oh, lord, after yesterday I was RUNNING for my baby bowl today!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to let as much of the bun go on a hamburger! I've been able to get a whole Big Mac meal deal down my face in the past but I experimented with that several weeks ago (before the BBE). I got Marianne a happy meal and bought one additional cheeseburger. We each had a burger and split the drink and fries. It was PERFECT! I tell you, these restaurants have us convinced we need the amounts they offer without regard to what we actually need. If that's not the enemy working, I don't know what is!
