I should be worried right now, instead I feel stronger than ever.
Yesterday was our community's annual Santa Claus Parade (which I swear gets earlier every year) and I was stuck working around the corner from it so we got crazy busy....plus, nobody at work even KNEW it was happening until the mega-rush started, and we were down 3 people. So...yesterday sucked, and I had foolishly agreed to take an extra 3 hours.
Today was alright. When I got off at 1 I did some grocery shopping because we have no veggies or fruit. Last time I went, I bought so much junk food and it taunted me from the cupboard. Well, most of the junk is still in the cupboard but I've been extremely good at staying away from it. This time I decided to test myself. My original plan was to only stay in the fruits/veggies section, then walk beside the tills to get to the snack aisles to get cooking spray, brown sugar splenda, and crackers. When I got there, I wanted to see if I could make it through the bakery section without even touching anything. Oh, and they had some really good stuff today- cakes, cupcakes, cookies, croissants, CHRISTMAS treats! I looked, I drooled, but I did not touch. I walked right through and got only items I'm proud to have in my cupboard. I also got some jello cups (5 cals per cup ftw!) and pretzels (really tasty and low in cals), and I'm going to try the new campbells reduced calorie vegetable soup sometime soon (not tonight, because today I'm staying well under 100 cals).
So today, I've had a jello cup.
That is all.
I feel so freaking good right now!:) It's the first time in a long time I didn't get anything on my break...no apple slices, no salad, no junk! And I feel pumped for tomorrow. It should be an easy day, not much going on. My friend may want to go to timmy's in the morning when I pick her up for school, but I'll just say I already ate breakfast and get a tea or my daily milk or something. I'll pack some fruit for lunch (~40 cals worth), and then come home and have the soup and some salad (~120 together). I should probably have breakfast tomorrow...maybe some oatmeal with splenda brown sugar? I think that would be about 118 cals. (oatmeal=110?)
Anywhoo, it's occurred to me I haven't posted about the green tea gum I bought last week. This stuff is pretty good. It has a crisp peppermint taste and you can hardly notice it's green tea gum...until about 5 minutes into chewing. The package says you have to chew 1 piece for 15 minutes to be equal to a cup of green tea, but after about 5 minutes the taste suddenly turns aweful and it seemingly turns to mush and you can't chew it...and literally, this change occurs instantly so you have to run and spit it out. It also gives my tongue a faint green colour for about 20 minutes. But overall, being that I had low expectations for it in the first place, it's pretty good and I'll definitely keep it around.
Haha...oh, procrastination. I'm supposed to be writing yet another script for drama class so my partner and I can work on it together in one hour...so it's supposed to be done by 5:30...yeah...ain't gonna happen.
