I'm literally sick to my stomach thinking about all the food I ate this weekend. We went out to eat almost every meal, and those calories (or any measurement traits) add up so fast. The fries I ate on Saturday made me feel so awful we had to leave the restaurant instead of finishing the basketball game that we went out for. I'm glad I started this mission before the New Year; this way I can see how I'm currently eating and use it when planning smaller portions and healthy alternatives.

Now that I'm holding myself accountable for what I eat, I'm starting to change how I choose food. I'm looking for items with less carbs and more veggies. However, it's really hard to do on the weekends! When the only options for salad are Caesar and house, it gets boring really fast. I will have to try Mason Jar Salads when school starts up again, that way I can ensure a smart lunch choice (and have more leniency for group outings at night).

BEER. My beloved beer. You are BAD. 200 calories in one hard cider? You're breaking my heart. I can record these numbers, but it won't stop me from drinking (at least until after college!) It's just sad to see those number fly up from just a few beers. I will have to use my workout calories as a buffer against these empty calories. Does anyone know when the best time to workout is in order to counteract drinking calories? Before drinking, the next morning?

I've been doing better with water intake simply because I've put it in the front of my mind. Hopefully it's helping, because I abused myself this weekend in the form of bacon and fries. Ugh.

Goal for the week: smaller portions, smarter choices! Exception: Christmas Eve. 100% cheat night (starting after 5pm)

Boyfriend (Greg) is a bad influence on how much I eat! Mainly because he's motivated enough to deep fry delicious jalapenos; how am I supposed to resist? He made a wonderful dinner - even marinated the hamburgers - and I couldn't skip a thing. I think the best way to deal with it is to tell him more about my efforts to be healthier so he understands. He may even join me, which would be enormous support.

In recent years, the idea of "waste not, want not" has been a standard for me. Times where I couldn't afford food taught me to never leave anything behind. I'll have to work on stopping when I'm full, not until I feel I've got my money's worth. I plan to accomplish this through 1) cutting servings in half before eating, 2) eating slower, and 3) sharing more with Greg, who could use the extra calories much more than I!

All of these things require extra effort in day-to-day life. Since I'm on break from school, it's easier to incorporate these things into my daily routine; I hope that I don't let that change when school turns my schedule into chaos again. But yoga will begin and I think that will help me slow down a little bit and think about what's important to me.

PS - drink more water! Especially in the evenings!
