Day 7 and 8 (off of ediets)

Day 7: Oopsie...
(on my own)

I actually did pretty good. I counted my calories, and ended up fine up until the last part of the day. I ended up having to work 9 hours at my part-time job, instead of the 6 I planned for when bringing food to work. (You know how it goes, someone calls in, you have to stay longer... blah blah blah, I actually don't mind) So I think the large space between Lunch and Dinner caused me to feel unsatisfied by the end of the day, and I ended up eating a piece of pizza that my parents had leftover from their dinner. JUST ONE PIECE, so it's not going to set me back... but I still shouldn't have had it. Oh well, no harm done.

Day 8: Success
(on my own)

I was supposed to get my ediets food on Tuesday, but since Monday was a Labor Day, I didn't get it until Wednesday (today). So I had to do a 3rd day in a row on my own. Which I guess is okay, next week I'll just have one day on my own, so that I can keep my same delivery day. No harm done... but it's so much easier being on ediets food rather than trying to do it on my own!

I am so happy, because ediets accidentally sent me 7 days worth of snacks. And since each are different I was really happy that I could throw out that dreaded dark chocolate bar. I still don't understand why we can't choose our own snacks! I just can't eat dark chocolate. Then I had the biscotti tonight for my snack, since I don't really have a good snack to eat on my days off.

Day 6

Day 6: Success.... kinda

Since I am doing the 5 day plan on the ediets Fresh Meal Delivery program, today was my first day off. I was somewhat prepared for the first day on my own, but then I ended up being out of town, and on the road most of the day... I was stuck trying to make good choices at gas stations and fast food places... not an easy task on your first day on your own!

I had one serving of bran cereal for breakfast, I had some cashews from the gas station, I had subway for lunch, I made it home in time for a healthy choice tv dinner. Then I had a serving of fruit for a snack.

All in all, not bad choices. Nothing that will set me back. My only oops was that I accidently counted the calories on the cashews wrong. I made a mistake thinking that one bag of cashews was only one serving, when actually it was 4. yikes! But dang, the bag was tiny! It LOOKED like only 1 serving.

BUT, not bad. I'll get better. :)
