bleeeh

last night i had pizza. three pieces in fact. but not the crusts. does that count? incredibly high sodium and grease...and cheese. mm.. i mean... blegh, yuck. not surprisingly i was hungry again before bed. it's amazing how the unhealthy food doesnt last as long. empty calories i believe they call them? maybe i am wrong. this morning wasn't much better as i had breakfast burritos (so i need to go grocery shopping..) but i was thinking about it and besides the fat count, as least there isn't any sugar and it's relatively low carb. i'm not feeling as bad about that as i did the pizza. for lunch i had a turkey wrap (tomato basil, low carb, no sugar) some tortilla chips (tiny small broken pieces at the end of the bag) and fresh salsa. AND to give in to my sweet tooth i had a few blackberries and some rediwhip. and get this!!! there isn't anything in rediwhip! ha! beat that cravings! i'm feeling surprisingly full like i couldn't eat another bite all day. the dinner menu for next week consists of a lot of veggies. i noticed i think i actually DECREASED my veg count last week. Soooo we have italian soup- my favorite. it has some sausage (which i can buy lean or turkey) kale, squash, zucchini, green beans, onions, tomatoes and anything else i want to add, then i put taco salad- lean ground beef, kielbasa (turkey) with penne, peppers, squash and tomatoes, keilbasa (turkey) stew that has tomato soup, veggies like peppers and kale and rice, pork chops with wild rice and veggies and pork tenderloin. not so bad. i'm finding that with a few exceptions, it's really easy to do the low sugar thing. some days are harder than others but for the most part i just say, no i don't want that or no, i can't have that and i move on. (with a few times looking longingly at something sweet. but i get over it.)
