So I started the day off right again - sort of.

Every morning I wake up and do the same thing - let the dogs out, go to the Keurig, put in a Tully's French Roast cup - add creamer (a lighter pour) and let the dogs back in. I sit and watch the news for a few minutes and I start seeing diet commercials, food commercials, diabetic pharmaceutical commercials -- holy smokes, can't a girl just sip her coffee in peace without all the added pressures?

No.

Okay - so I start thinking about how I'll eat today. Starting out good is key!! So - I look at my coffee and think: "dump it, go make some tea instead". So I did.

Okay - bad coffee (creamer) gone, now - don't make the same mistake you made yesterday by thinking you ate healthy. I had no idea the number of carbs in oatmeal and a banana... so I boil 2 large eggs. Good - I like this. Only 154 calories and 2 carbs.

Next - I want something cold - but wait, I've eliminated that oh so delicious but incredibly terrible for me tomato juice!! Now what? I will not drink OJ (that stuff is pure sugar) - and then it hits me: I can have a V8!! I grab an ice-cold can from the fridge, get a tall glass with some ice and viola! (70 more calories) and I think I'm done for the morning.

I think.

Yesterday's breakfast of oatmeal and banana did not satiate me and by 11:45 a.m. I was starving again. So - today, I'm hoping the protein in the eggs will keep me satisfied until at least 12:05. (:

Then it's on to lunch again... and that's where my day fell to crap yesterday. More on that later. I've got to get back to work.

Make it a good day.

I am beside myself with frustration - seems no matter what I do the scale keeps going UP, not down. I've gained 3 pounds since Jan. 4th when I first started tracking.

Here's my problem - I have no willpower. I start each day out great, or so I thought (more on that in a minute) and then by dinner I go back for seconds or pick on left overs after dinner. Last night, we had a cabbage dinner, which was very good, but apparently 2 hours later I felt I needed to make a roast beef sandwich. On 100% whole wheat bread, mind you, so it wasn't all bad... let's not count the mayo, please that only adds to my disgust.

My morning meal usually starts out with 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 slice of 100% whole wheat toast, coffee with creamer and tomato juice.

Go ahead... tell me the light bulb already went off in your head, because quite frankly it took me about FOREVER to see it myself, but it's pretty obvious.

The other morning I created an Excel document to track what I ate with columns that included portion, calories, protein, fat, carbs. And here's what I found:

Creamer is 35 calories for 1 tbsp. serving - guess how much creamer I put in my coffee.... (close to 1/4 cup) - that's 4 tbsp. (140 calories, 20 carbs & 20 sugars!)

Tomato juice is 50 calories per 1 cup serving - (you know where I'm going with this, right?) - I drink 16 oz. at a time - so while that is only 100 calories it is also 14 grams of sugar and 20 grams of carbs! Oi vey... someone padlock the fridge to save me from myself.

Look - I know I need to quit my bitching and rein in my portion controls and stop lying to myself about how "healthy" I eat. I remember bragging about my healthy salads and how I put all kinds of veggies in it and my brother-in-law said: "there's enough salad there for 4 people!"....

Really? ):

PORTION CONTROL
WILL POWER
and let's not even get started on EXERCISE.

Honestly, every day feels like a struggle... I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but I do feel like alone nonetheless.

Blah.

My day started with a medium banana, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, coffee (with only 3 tbsp. of creamer)... yeah, yeah, I know - but I left that tomato juice at the store - on the shelf - where it belongs.

Keeping a weight loss resolution is near impossible as it forces unrealistic expectations on results - we expect to stick to a healthy eating plan, or a diet regime, and the truth is we only do it for about a week and then get board when the scale does not reflect back the effort we feel we put in.

Because of this - I am not making a resolution to lose weight, but rather I resolve to be mindful of my actions.
