Short and Naturally Sweet

Just a short, quick update tonight, since I just got home from class and have to be up again at 3 a.m. Ai yai yai!

No walk again today, because I was still feeling very drained. I'm thinking it's because I didn't eat enough of the filling foods yesterday. I'm guessing I need more protein? I'm not sure, so that's one of the things I need to learn more about. Obviously you don't want to eat a lot of bad carbs and sugars, but I need more of the good stuff that'll fill me up without having to eat too much of it.

Same thing goes for today, honestly. I had another English muffin today, minus the jelly. I took a bowl of strawberries and blueberries as a mid-afternoon snack since I ate breakfast pretty late. (I decided to get ready for school before eating.) I had a wheat bread PB&J sandwich for dinner, a whole apple and a Fiber One 90 Calorie bar as a special treat for myself, a low-calorie way to satisfy the chocolate cravings I've been having. (Those are the worst!) All that being said, I'm STARVING. At least, I think I am... normally, I'd give in and have a bagel or a bowl of cereal, watch a little TV and then crawl into bed. But I know better, so I'm going to bed hungry, and I'll try to eat better tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, it should be interesting. I know I can eat healthy at home, but Nate and I are going to a special dinner at Roast - CAN'T WAIT - but I have to make sure I don't overeat for the rest of the day. More apples and strawberries please! Also, no excuses! I'm going for a bike ride with Parker tomorrow, and I might even have to walk on the treadmill after dinner to work off the filet mignon and macaroni and cheese!

Pictures are coming soon, I promise. (Especially of tomorrow's dinner!) I'm also going to share a few links I like, and hopefully get some research done so I can share some good stuff with anyone else who might be following along and attempting a weight loss journey of their own. *cough*MomandRachel*cough*

Everyone out there supporting me, thank you again, because after 3 days I had already thought about giving up, but after some kind words and hearing that I'm motivating others, I know that I can't. Like Mom said, it takes three weeks to make it a habit, and this is definitely a habit I want to keep.
