The high hopes i had last week for my diet just so happen to be the same hopes I had for the past, oh, 2 years. Unfortunately.
Each day I did fantastic during the day (while at work) - watching my serving size, not getting caffeine in the morning. really great - about 400-600 calories intake by 2:30 when I'd leave.
Then I get home, and bam: Yogi puppy needs attention, I need blog and gossip release/unwind -- which just drives me to snack b/c I'm stressed out from work and then I'm stressed out when I get home because I just can't sit down and breathe!
Literally, I took in between 1200-2000 or so calories each night. how depressing.
The only positive is that I started getting new recipes and cooking with a lot better ingredients. so my dinner was great, it was just all those crackers or snacks before and after.
The remedy:
Set small goals.
1) now that my knee gaining back strength, start taking yogi on short walks after work. and hopefully I can gain the confidence to start running again.
2) get healthier, easy to grab snacks. I LOVE crackers. a serious addict. this is always the diet killer for me, and the hardest hurdle to tackle. hopefully i can start getting the same satisfaction from another food that I get from crackers.
