The End of Day One

This is how it always happens.

Gangbusters in the morning and mid-morning. By lunch, I'm doing fine.

By dinnertime, I have run out of time, and my bad eating habits return.

Now let me begin by saying this much: I still have 8 points left to spend. That is the problem. I end up with having too many at the end, and wondering how I should eat them.

I have had an exhausting day with church stuff. We are looking at hiring a new pastor, and one of the candidates was in for a visit this weekend. I just got off the phone with him, and I am beat. and I realized at 8:39 that I hadnt' eaten dinner yet.

These are the bad eating habits of which I speak.

These are the habits that I need to break free of.

But Rome wasn't built in a day. I realize this. And the stuff that I chose for dinner .... because I had to make a quick decision on what to eat (and we REALLY need to go to the store tomorrow), I wouldn't have made those choices had I had time to prepare.

So ... preparation is the key. Be prepared. At all times.

My menu for the day:

Breakfast: 1 cup Cheerios with 1 cup 1 percent milk, 1 large apple = 7 points used
Lunch (this appears to be a lot, but it isn't): 1 hamburger on a bun with ketchup and onion, carrots, celery, cheese (two small slices... which reminds me: I didn't count those!), strawberries and pineapple, and a salad = 11 points used (ACK!)
Dinner: 1 peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread, 3/4 cup Munchies (bad, bad, bad), and still searching for some more dinner = 8 points

Total = 27 points. I have 8 more to go, and WW is very specific in making sure you eat all your points. Of course, they are very specific in the fact that you should really make a better decision (i.e., Munchies).

No activity today other than lying in my Mom's hammock with my six year old. That should count for something.

I also have a whole lotta water to drink, too.

Better get cracking.
