I want a cookie...
Badly...
So far, so good, but here I am at the end of the day, and all I can think about is a cookie -- that chunk of biscotti I seriously considered having with my tea while I was out with my friend. She talked me down, but that craving was really strong. I don't remember it being this tricky last time out...
I did much, much better with my water intake today. It helped to get two glasses out of the way before I left the house for the day (one with lemon, one plain).
Dr. Mikes' food tip for today: eat as many cleansing veggies as possible -- dieters who eat a variety of veggies have less body fat. I'm not so worried about the body fat this time, but am going to make more of an effort to get along with the veggies in my fridge...
Dr. Mike's exercise tip for today: use visualization while you exersise -- picture the new, toned "you" during the daily workout. That's great advice for people who work out...
Today's Menu:
Breakfast -- 2 poached eggs, strawberries, pomegranate green tea, multivitamin/probiotic capsule/Omega 3 capsule
Morning Snack -- vanilla yogurt with red grapes, large black coffee
Lunch -- green salad (with tomato, celery, cucumber), 1 tbsp. Kraft Signature dressing* (extra virgin olive oil with fig balsamic vinegar)
Dinner -- Dr. Mike's turkey chili, small green salad, 1 tbsp. Kraft Balsamic vinaigrette**
* 1 tbsp = 45 calories
** 1 tbsp = 60 calories
All salad dressings are not created equal, it seems. You have to be careful and read those labels carefully.
Feeling pretty good at the end of the day!
