Food Diary, Day 2

Wow, this blogging about what I eat, this keeping track and writing it down, is really making me aware of what I eat. Day 2 was a snack-y day. I think I have a lot of those.

Breakfast:

*1/2 cup grapenuts with trail mix, drizzle of honey, 1% milk

*2 mugs of coffee with heavy-handed cream.

Lunch:

*chicken breast, cut up and mixed with (left-over) spanish rice and sweet corn and sprinkled with mozerella cheese

*1 string cheese.

Snack:

*hot chocolate (from powdered mix)

*1 sugar cookie.

* Later I ate a bunch (1/2 cup?) of drained chick peas.

Dinner:

*1 1/2 slices of cheese pizza (from frozen)

*1 very delicious pear.

Evening eating:

* had various snacks at book club- a (nother!) sugar cookie. Ok, maybe TWO sugar cookies

*some of those pastel mint things with the little white dots on them

*small amount (maybe 4-6) chips with salsa.

Exercise:

*briskly walked (with Marin in jogger) to and from the library, about 25 minutes each way.

I would say overall, it was not a "diet day" I would be proud of. However, I am not upset with myself, like, AT ALL. For one thing, I got some exercise. For another, I was meeting my goal for this week by being aware (and writing down) what I ate.

Also, those book club snacks? This is the main reason that the one time I tried Weight Watchers, it frustrated me. How do you account for everything? And since I'm the type that wants to get it right, whenever I'd have to guess or approximate, I would feel deflated, or like I was "cheating" or like "I messed this up already, so I may as well just give up now."
