Went out for First Friday. All the Art galleries are open late and serve snacks, wine, beer, coffee(you get the picture)It is a big social event. I had one glass of delicious wine(wanted more but had some self control and only drank one glass) and salsa and chips(if you remember from a few weeks ago, this is my biggest weakness) The salsa was made with red, yellow peppers, onions, chile pepper, lime juice and salt(it was missing the cilantro and tomatoes) It wasn't as good as mine but I ate it all the same. about 20 large tortilla chips. I had about 4 bites of the guacamole but it tasted horrible.

I am finding myself craving carbs and sweets, so starting Monday I am going to have 1 day a week as a splurge day, it will probably be Saturdays. This should curve the cravings and give me something to look forward too. This doesn't mean I will eat all the junk I desire in one day. I will eat small portions and switch from one favorite meal to another each week.
Example: Have pancakes for breakfast, salad for lunch, 2 slices of pizza for dinner one sat. An omelet w/ toast or hash-browns, salad, spaghetti with garlic bread the next, and a glass of wine. Basically the things you love but shouldn't eat everyday. Splurging once a week should make you feel like you are not missing out and help you keep your healthy eating habits for the rest of the week. Hopefully you will not over indulge and gain your weight back. It is all about balance and eating healthy 90% of the time and exercise. I will also try to make sure I don't miss my exercise on my splurge day!!
DAY 27
8:00 before breakfast: OPC3, FCI, CAI
9:00 Breakfast: 3/4 C Steel oats with 2T honey, 1T whole milk and 8 walnuts; 8 oz herbal tea

2:00 Snack: 1 strawberry, 2 oz Terra vegetable chips (2 oz=28 chips;300 cal;18g fat(0 trans fat);32 carbs;6g sugar; 2g protein) these are so good I am going to try and make them myself. The sweet potato chips are the best! This will have to be eaten sparingly. But when my family starts snacking this is a good alternative for me.
6:30 Dinner: 2 slices of gn pepper and onion pizza. 1/2 raspberry sherbet(0 fat,25 carb,20 sugar,1 protein)
Crazy day: no time to make dinner so pizza was ordered. I thought it was time to have some bread and it was so good.
Liquid intake: 8 oz tea, 68 oz water
Exercise: 2 hrs of more gardening- a lot of squatting and jumping on an edger,lifting and pulling dirt.
***Week six will be better I promise myself! If i snack I will exercise more!
