Day 7 of my MWL restart
Exercise: Walked 2.5 miles (had a banana before my walk)
Breakfast: Old fashioned oats, blueberries, splash of plant milk
Lunch: large salad with kale, power greens, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, cukes and cut up Japanese sweet potato with balsamic vinegar
Later: hungry at about 5pm so I had a cold baked potato with dijon mustard on top and a few grapes
Dinner: veg soup, rice and beans , squash
Another days where I didn't fall into the pleasure trap. It wasn't easy. While getting groceries I felt like "wow, I am doing this and not even tempted to get anything !" In the next moment I could feel my brain thinking of what I could get as a "treat". I even walked around looking at sushi and other ready made foods......I talked to myself and got out of there ! I think since I didn't fall into temptation yesterday, today was a little easier (maybe, so far ). Dr Lisle says the next few days can be very tough and even worse that the first day. I need to be diligent !
It was so nice to wake up this morning and not regret what I ate yesterday. I need to remember that feeling.
Tomorrow I need to bake some potatoes and make some pea soup. My veg soup will probably be gone by then so more room in the fridge. I still have some brown rice left and a half of a sweet potato. I also have frozen veggies in the freezer. I am good !
See you tomorrow on the MWL board ! Don't know what the scale will say but I am pleased with how this week is going. there is room for improvement so excited to see how next week goes.
