BHM- Day 7- and then...she rested | trixiegirl's Blog

Everytime I have been succesful at weight loss I have had 1 day that I just didn't worry about anything health/diet related.   I don't piss all my progress away, I just reallllly relax. This premise has served me well in the past, so it is definately something I am keeping as part of my life long journey. 

Sundays around here are typically a big breakfast and a decent dinner.  today was no exception.  I made bacon, eggs, toast, scrapple(yick),and hashed browns. It was delightful, except for the scrapple which I won't go NEAR.  Hey even a fat girl has standards!  I did once again pay attention  to how I cooked things and tried to semi-limit portions and not slather butter on every dry surface. Basically, I just tried to not stuff my self silly.  Really, it's not that hard as long as you pay attention.  Dinner was baked chicken, dumplings and mixed veggies.  Again, I just had to pay attention during preperation.   Generally, I use a can of cream of chicken soup as a base to simmer the dumplings.  Today, I used a can of chicken broth that had 5 calories a serving and the dumplings were rather tasty.  Also, no butter on the veggies.  I am recognizing that natural foods can be tasty on there own, so I need to stop and think before I grab the butter/salt .The lesson I have learned this week, I really eat quite mindlessly.

My one real splurge today has been a vodka and OJ, which I am enjoying now.  I have always known that alcohol is void of any nutritional value. Today is my one indulgence.  I really am not a big drinker. When I do drink it tends to be something strong and fruity- mango martinis, cosmos and the likes.   The mixers for these are loaded with sugar, so the switch to OJ, while still caloric, seems to at least offer something in the realm of nutrition.  (I know, I am definately reaching....)

I have had only 2 bottles of water today and hope to have at least 1 more before bed.  Since, Sunday is also movie night, I am not even thinking of exercising.  Though maybe I should try it tipsy!  SO all in all it has been a pretty good week. I have learned some things about myself, and I am paying attention to what I have to say.  Oh, and my jeans fit a little better!!

Goal for next week- some form of excersise at leat 3 days/20 minutes.  Small-realistic-doable.
