Some days are better than others

 Some days I do really well, and some days. . . well, we all have those days don't we.  I guess the trick is acknowledging what we are really doing to our bodies and accepting the responsibility for it.  So here we go.

So breakfast was whole wheat toast with some melted cheddar cheese.  I actually only ate one of these slices. I probably should have added some fruit, but as we have already discussed, I have a hard time eating breakfast.

So I really wanted some chocolate milk.  It's not the best choice, so I compromised. I filled my glass 1/2 full of chocolate milk, and then. . .

I added regular 1% white milk to the glass to fill it the rest of the way.  Was it as chocolaty as I wanted? No. was it an acceptable alternative that got rid of the craving? Yes.  It's all about moderation.

And then, well, I finished off my kid's pudding.  At least it was sugar-free.  Oh well, the thing is, by photographing it and counting it, I have to own it.  That is a big part of this journey.

I was too tired to make myself a good lunch, so I had the other piece of melted cheese.

And 1/2 a glass of cranberry juice.

Dinner was a chicken and broccoli soup that I invented.  It was delicious, and for a cream soup, it was super low in calories and carbs.  I added some saltine crackers and crystal light.

Bad picture, but this is 1/2 a tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat. Soup can only fill a person up so much.

Really hungry before bed.  2 Tbl peanut butter and a medium apple. Yum!

I had a chocolate craving. A small handful is 70 calories. I did add a few milk chocolate pieces, because in my journey to dark chocolate, I need some that tastes good. lol
