Taking ownership of your diet!

[Thandie]

Hey everyone,

We all know that diet or nutrition is one of the main components of being healthy and 'fit', and since we all struggle with this, I'd like us to keep a record of successes and failures.

My suggestion is that when we have a terrific day in our diets or when we fall temporarily off the wagon, to come and check in. That way we can make mid-course correction that will help us stay on track. We are imperfect humans.

For example: Yesterday, I was really good and last night I had my green tea when I was actually craving cookies.

Where as the previous day I went nuts and had all the things I shouldn't have had. Oh, I had quite a bit of nuts too!!

I love it!! Great idea.
I was like you last night, saw the box of cookies and went for a piece of beef jerky instead. Good Job!!

Awesome!!

Well I went out to dinner for my b-day last night and was looking forward to having a cheat meal. We went to one of my favorite restaurants, been there 100 times. We start ordering drinks and I wanted to have a glass of wine. For the first time in a loooong time I got asked for ID. I didn't have my ID on me, so that already put me in a bad mood. For the main course I ordered something I had never had before, wanted to try something different. Umm bad idea....Tt turns out it's some steemed chicken, shrimp and veggies with brown rice. LOL
So there goes my cheat meal

On the positive note I didn't feel guilty this morning, I'm pretty sure I would've beat myself up a bit.

Hmm, I think you still have a cheat meal to take care of for your birthday.

You should see what happens to us guys when we have a "failure" in our diets.
I think I ate a pound and a half of boneless wings on Sunday! It knocked me out for three hours.

Good grief, I'd have to be hospitalize after eating 3. Are you ok?

I did pretty good last night. I've been craving sweets like mad. Is at this point on my comp dieting where I start craving things. However, I had a cup of green tea and was good. Today the craving is not so bad, so I'm ok.
10 weeks to go..

Thandie, isn't it amazing what a cup of green tea can do??
I LOVE it!!
Great job on resisting the temptation.
