The road to Normal is paved with Good Intentions

I really did try to have a healthy day yesterday. I've decided that I am going to go back to low-carb, because that is the way I need to be eating with my PCOS anyway. But, I am not going to be super-strict like I was on South Beach phase 1... I'm just going to take the principles I learned on that diet and find a way to work it into everyday life. Sounds good, right?

Right?

Well anyway, yesterday started off good. I got up and scrambled myself and egg for breakfast. I had leftover meatballs for lunch. But then I unexpectedly had to go watch my friend's kids and I hadn't brought any snacks... so by the time dinner rolled around I was FAMISHED and we drove-through McDonald's and I got chicken nuggets and fries and ate it all.

Even that would have been too bad, except that night I was feeling snacky and I ended up way overeating on junk food.

I don't know why I do that, because when I eat junk at night I can't fall asleep, and I get heartburn, and my metformin doesn't like it so I get "tummy upset" which doesn't feel good at all.

Why oh why can't I remember how bad I feel afterwards while I'm in the midst of a binge? Seriously!

So today I got up and vowed to do better. I was all set to make another egg but then realized that I'm out of cooking spray, so I ended up eating a Fiber One bar. Not the best choice, but not horrible either. I also got out my 32 oz. water bottle and filled it up first thing this morning, and I've already drunk half of it. So, I'm trying today.

I need to weigh in tonight at church because I really don't have any idea what I weigh right now. And then we'll see where the week takes us.

  1. Instead of cooking spray you can use olive oil, canola oil, (pretty much any kind of oil), margarine, or even a little bit of butter.

    I love Fiber One bars, but they're not breakfast. They're a snack. And they're not going to tide you over till lunch, girlie girl. :O)

  2. Actually, a Fiber One bar does fine for me for breakfast every once in awhile. I'm never hungry first thing in the morning and I usually end up making myself eat so I can take my metformin with breakfast.
