It has been an exhausting day. It’s crazy that graduation is so close and there is so much to do before then so it’s starting to take its toll. With all of this stress comes the urge to emotionally eat. No matter how much weight I lose, eating my feelings always has, and will always be, a struggle for me. Sometimes just a big plate of food (such as a delicious plate of nachos… FORESHADOWING???) is what you want. It’s tough, but not a killer. What I’m learning is that you can make modifications to your favorite pig out foods. It’s an adjustment, but worth it!
Breakfast: I went to Subway like I usually do on Tuesdays and Thursdays and went to town on my Bacon, egg and cheese on an english muffin. It was fantastic as always and I at least know that was 4 points. I also went to Atomic and a Thai Iced Coffee. It has half anf half, sugar, and some spices. I skipped on the whip cream. Basically it was a an iced coffee with cream and sugar. That being said I’m still not sure how many points it was. Breakfast was about 7 pointsÂ
Lunch: I went to 501 Cafe for their delicious curried chicken sandwhich. It is the best sandwich in Tallahassee. The only way for you to know is to try it yourself. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?! GO THERE NOW! With chips, lunch was about 10 points.
Snack: I had some chips and salsa. 3 points.
Dinner: The prophecy of the nachos has been fortold! Yeah, I had some nachos for dinner. The plan was to have mac n cheese, but neither of us had the energy to cook. So, I popped some chips in the oven with some cheese. Luckily, it was mostly crumbs so the points went further, in a way. Anyway, I put a 100 calorie pack of guac on there and some black beans. It was epic. It was about 12 points (6 points for chips, 2 for the guac, 2 for the black beans and 2 for the cheese). I know these are kind of an approximation, but I know I’m pretty close. I know nachos look bad, but I didn’t have steak on it or anything like that. Considering the situation, it could have been much worse, but these small changes are what make the difference yo!
So today I got to 32 points. Four points over. It is what it is. If anything, I have been able to cut down my grazing which is a huge thing! See ya tomorrow.
I feel you about the tired bit… and soooooo much to do!
We will survive… some how.
