But despite my moment of weakness, it only set me back 210 calories and it was really yummy. And I was able to eat just one, so it's all ok. After another bike ride my net calories for the day are about 950. Hm...no wonder I'm hungry! Oh and I had the most delightful sandwich for supper with a chunky chicken salad (Thanks Amy!) and a warm whole wheat biscuit. Yummy. Mike has not been a big fan of my cooking latly, he is tired of leftovers I think and very tired of salads made with chicken and beans...but I think it's very tasty and am delighted with my new found freedom in cooking healthier meals. Oh, and another tip that I got from that blog I like, frozen blueberries are a great snack. A little bit expensive, but they're cheap as they'll ever get right now..and even Parker likes them! I've been having a hard time getting him to eat fruit.
And tonight was my moment of truth: it's been a week, I should have lost a pound. So I got out that dreaded scale, and ta da! I lost 3! Who Hoo! If I keep up at this pace I will get to my goal by Christmas. that would be nice. But not going to count on it. It could just be water weight anyway, but still that is a testament to cutting back on the sodium. So, I'm excited tonight, and very grateful that things are happening. And praying that I can stick with it. Oh, I also calculated that I rode my bike something like 42 miles this week, so that probably helped...not sure if I will have the time to keep that up. To celebrate, I'm going to have a biscuit. :) I know, I shouldn't award myself with food, but gosh darn it, I'm hungry!
great work holly!
