Week 1, Day 2

This is technically the first day of my diet, but it is day 2 in terms of me really starting the program.

Today has been a sort of whatever day so far--eating wise, I've had instant oatmeal, a banana, and a butter croissant--the kind you get at Sam's club. Holy crap, was I surprised to learn that croissant was 7 points. In a way, it was sort of a validating experience though--like, I can be kind of a know-it-all about food and stuff, so to be shocked like this (I thought the croissant would be 4 or 5 points MAX) kind of puts me in place, and I think will help contribute to me sticking to this plan.

I did go grocery shopping today--and got into a mini-fight/meltdown in the store with boyfriend. I don't want to give this impression that he is not supportive, because he is amazing, but I just sort of lost my temper over an exchange that went a little like this:

B: Can we get Macaroni and Cheese?

M: Well no. It's really not good for my diet.

B: Well you don't have to eat it.

I just sort of lost it a little, because--even though he completely didn't mean to be nasty, and even though I was being a little bratty about things--I just feel like sometimes people don't realize that I DO have to eat it. When food is around, I just obsess about it, and I get really frustrated when I feel like I can't eat something--so frustrated that I end up eating it out of this weird spite.

I just made a double boca burger, and I'm happy with how it turned out--I mean, it was definitely thrown together, but it filled me up. The burger was 7 points total--over half of that was the bun.

I went swimming, but not very actively. I didn't do laps or anything. Now, I'm making some HG bread pudding--that will give me 6 more points, which will bring my total of the day up to like 23.

I've also had about 4 glasses of water so far--good for me. I would kill for a diet coke, but we don't have any.

As a final note for the evening, I really want to make sure I start eating more balanced food groups. Like, today it was basically grain products. I want to be eating way more fruits and veggies. Now that that's said, I'm feeling really tired and ready to just kick back and watch boyfriend play Silent Hill 3.
