Day one down and I kept all of my commitments. It sounds so simple, but there was plenty of temptation. My family tried to go miniature golfing, but the place was closed, so hubby drove the kids to Wendy's for food instead...I stayed in the car. Once we got home, they ate cake and ice cream while we watched a movie. Hubby also bought a giant loaf of french bread to go with the healthy soup I made for dinner. I really wanted some of that bread, but it's not on my plan and I didn't eat it. I kept reminding myself that the first day is always the hardest.
I watched a fascinating video today while cooking my soup that explains scientifically why we do some of the things we do when it comes to binge-eating and night-stuffing. It's not because we are dumb, unintelligent people who can't get our act together. There are massive forces working against us in our genes and biochemistry. Understanding what's going on can help us beat those forces. I would explain more, but I must get to bed. I highly recommend the video which can be found HERE.
I took photos of my food today, but I'm having problems loading them. This is what I ate:
--Oatmeal with apples, spinach, walnuts, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
--Potato salad made with homemade, oil-free, vegan salad dressing. Baby carrots. Garden Salad.
--Smoothie with banana, spinach, berries, almond milk, PB powder, and cocoa.
--Chickpea Kale Soup, baked potato, garden salad.
