I debated with myself from 5 AM on whether or not I wanted to do cardio today. I usually shoot for 2 days a week but I thought about last night's big meal and decided I'd feel better if I got some exercise. So I did the Turbo Jam Cardio Party Mix 2, and I have every intention of doing cardio again tomorrow. My schedule this week has been weird because of the kickboxing on Monday and I could really just take tomorrow off, but I won't. I don't know if I'm going to do Turbo Jam again, or use the Wii Fit/elliptical combo. There's a running activity on the Wii Fit but running in place is kind of lame. I'll get a good workout on the elliptical, and get the credit on the Wii Fit. Two birds.
10:45 AM - scrambled eggs w/ green pepper, onion, sour cream & salsa, turkey bacon, coffee w/ cream & Splenda; I was late eating today because I had about 150 pages to read in a library book that was due today; I needed to focus on that
6:30 PM - tilapia w/ mayo & mustard sauce, black beans w/ onions; I know I went too long without eating but I was incredibly sidetracked
8:00 PM - tea w/ skim milk & Splenda
9:00 PM - rice cakes w/ peanut butter, Splenda & cinnamon; all I've done since before dinner is think about the M&Ms in my freezer, but since I still haven't come up with a strategy for eating them, I tried to distract myself

Maybe you could just take x amount of M&Ms out of the freezer, put the rest back, eat the ones you enjoy (mindfully) and then quickly brush your teeth and/or drink some water?? Good for you for getting your cardio in! I hope the cold goes away soon...I hate being sick.
I was going to split them up into containers. If I just go to get a few out of the bag at a time, I'll eat them all. I feel like I need a reason. I haven't been craving them, and sometimes I forget they are in the freezer. What I do want is the bread and beef dip I made for my husband. He's raving about how great it is and it's taking everything in me not to eat like a horse with a feed bag.
That's a great idea splitting them up...or put them into little mini Ziploc snack bags (same thing, I know!) :) Can you let yourself have a little bit of the bread and beef dip you made your husband? It doesn't sound that unhealthy or anything. Maybe you can put a little bit aside for yourself, try eating mindfully and then brush your teeth? Can you tell I'm into teeth-brushing? :)
I could have a little but I always feel guilty for eating something I can't track the calories for. I've already eaten soup today that I couldn't track, and I think I'd feel out of control if I ate the bread and dip. I'm not hungry, really. I'm just being mad, again, that I can't be normal.
I think that's why I feel liberated from not calorie counting. When I was doing it I felt the same way - like I couldn't eat things I didn't know the calorie content of. Just remember - it's not those kinds of foods that make you fat...it's not food in general that makes you fat (or gain weight). It's the binges that do it! It helped me to remember this...a little bit is ok...overeating every now and then is ok. I know you can get through this. If you're not hungry now then tell yourself you can have a little bit later on when you are..
That's good advice, Hayley, and you've just given me the answer to the question that's been bothering me all week - how am I going to handle 4 days at my MIL's house where I have no control over the food served.
Thank you! I forgot to add!
