The fact that I keep thinking this is a "diet" is driving me bananas. As soon as I can't have something, that is all I want. Rita's taco Tuesday sounded great because it was just slight changes that added up in saving a lot of calories that you guys didn't even notice. I found a lasagna that uses tortillas instead of noodles, so I might try that; however, I am a pasta whore.
So, I came home and binged on pickles, seeing how I can eat 50 of them and it'll end up being next to nothing. For dinner I had a salad with grilled chicken, cucumbers, mozzarella cheese, and Caesar dressing. I'll probably have a pudding (hello, 60 calories and my chocolate fix for the day) in an hour or so.
After dinner, Chimi & I went on a 40 minute walk through the trails behind the ball fields. True, we had to stop every 10 seconds for him to sniff, pee, or introduce himself to another dog. But that is more cardio than I did last week, so holler.
Yup, this sums up my life. Day 2 is almost over :) I figure the more I sleep, the less I'll eat.
Kara,
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking this - first of all you are exercising which I haven't done yet, and I was the one that had dr's orders to do so. Secondly, we MUST stop thinking of this with the words "diet" - like Kristina said it's about a healthy life. We can't just lose the weight we need to maintain it...and I can't live my life without taco Tuesday....
Let me put it to you this way....
Normal Taco Tuesday included, ground beef, regular sour cream, homemade cheese dip and about a bag of tostitos, not to mention the cheese on my tacos - and I'd eat about 4 tacos....and drink a soda...(I'm a tank)
Yesterday's Taco Tuesday included, ground turkey, fat free sour cream, no cheese dip (maybe once a month we'll cheese dip but not every week!), no chips, I still had cheese on my tacos, but c'mon man, I'm human...and I only had two tacos instead of 4...and I drank water instead of soda...
I was actually satisfied last night - AND - I didn't fall asleep on the sofa from food coma, and when I went to bed, I slept SO much better....
...I could do that forever...but I can't skip taco tuesday forever....little changes...for life...we got this! :)
