morning guys.how you going mini,shark bait,plonks?thanks again for the weight loss tracker link mini(cant wait to see it start to move in the right direction!).well i think i did really well(for me)yesterday.although i'm not strictly counting calories,i decided to count up what i ate yesterday just for the hell of it.well it really reminds me what bit of the day i struggle with.by 10 oclock pm i had about 700 cals(sandwich for lunch,some carrot batons,mini quorn cocktail sausages and bgty humous for snack and a qourn cottage pie for dinner)between 10 and 1 am,i ate another nearly 700!!and thats with really trying to be concious of what i'm eating.total for the day was about 1384cals,which is bloody great for me.i dread to think what cals i've had in the months i was'nt even thinking about it,i was binging on whole packs of biccy's,big choc bars,crisps crisps and more crisps,cheesey dips(i could go on and on.)never again!!!
the main thing that has struck me from counting,is firstly,that by finding every pack of food i ate last night i have had to acknowledge it all,instead of stuffing it all far down in the bin so i or anyone else cant see the evidence,and conveniently forgetting some.but also immediately standing out is how the cals build up even with the healthy options!but a really good discovery i think has been jelly,and pickled onions.i never really eat those,but thought they were really nice.and the food that stuck out like a sore thumb cals wise was,pot of jelly 3 cals!!!i had to read it three times before i believed it ha ha!think i will definately be buying a few more of those(about 10 a night should be good!)also the pickled onions were very low,and laughing cow extra light triangles,20 cals each,wow!so me thinks,less snack a jacks(even if they do have the lovely gok wan endorsing them now)and more jelly and onions!
still,i'm really pleased,i feel like i am actively getting my head back in gear.heres to another good day.how was yesterday for you all?hope everyone is feeling good.
oh,and sorry for such a long morning ramble
