Good weekend overall. Had trouble Friday. Made a planned exception, one I thought was safe and then another. Had planned to have a homemade frozen burrito for lunch like I did last week without incident. Then I left work early and wanted to treat myself to a sparkling water. They didn't have any at Walgreens, so I got an ice tea, and thought a Nutrigrain bar would be fine. I knew it was processed, but it also has milk in it.
Then at dinner, I didn't feel like cooking and had a tortilla and another burrito. It wasn't a binge, but I definitely triggered myself both with food and psychologically. Got right back on track the next day.
I did a lot of prep, but spread it out over a couple days. I will make something else tonight:
Raw veg
Italian vegetable soup*--converted to Southwest style seasonings and swapped in some corn and pinto beans.
Split pea vegetable soup*
Jeff's burgers made into bean balls and a second batch with some white potato and peas (along with the kidney beans) and spiced like a samosa--haven't tried yet.
Left-over Marinara from last week.
The usual banana muffins for DH. He was tired of chicken
Jeff's Chubby Chips--These are sure fun to eat.
Three-Bean Salad--no oil, no juice, very little sugar, doubled the green/yellow beans. Recipe from Fat Free Vegan. Husband said this tasted good, but he hasn't actually eaten any of it.
Tonight, I'll make Alu Gobi*, brown rice and a cabbage salad of some sort. Got more containers and stuffed half the soups, bean balls/burgers in the freezer. Getting ahead of things feels good. I'm wondering now what is left in the cupboard that I can make into more freezer meals...
I've been doing this a month now, if I count the first week in May when I was getting back on track. I did measurements 5/1 and 5/31. I don't know how accurate I am, but it appears I've lost an inch off a few places. The trend is in the right direction at least.
This is my last week of the beginner calisthenics I've been doing. Interested in seeing if I can do the next level.
