I didn't do any other sort of exercise today because I was real tired and sore. But I didn't do too bad with food. I had the usual breakfast, and then a bowl of cereal again for lunch. When I tried eliminating stuff i'm allergic to from my diet I bought a few different types of cereal. I finally tried a new one today--some sort of oat flake almond nutty thing. For a "healthy" cereal, it was damn sweet. It was like eating a bowl of sugar. So I didn't finish it, and opted for my good ole grape nuts flakes again. I still have two more types to try. I made a pizza for dinner and stuck with 3 small slices. It wasn't too good, so I threw the rest away. I didn't let it cook long enough, and I bought the wrong brand of sauce. The cheese was also expired, but it wasn't moldy and hadn't been opened yet, so that could be why it tasted funny, but i doubt it. But the upside is I didn't pig out on the thing like I usually do. I did have a bottle of Pepsi, but that's still cutting back for me. And I haven't had any snacks today.
Last night I tried a Smart Ones frozen dinner--pot roast. It was good for the first few bites, then I didn't like it anymore. That happens to me a lot. I also tried some instant oatmeal that i got back when I was doing the allergy thing, so it was expired. But it wasn't good, it was sweetened with Splenda, so it left a funny aftertaste. I don't mind the Splenda in yogurt and drinks, but not food food. So I'm not ruling out oatmeal in general, just that type. I have a bunch of other frozen things to try. I don't know why I insist on trying all these new ones, I never like them. But they're fairly cheap and really easy. I'm not a big cooker--it's hard to cook for one, i hate doing dishes, and really, I'm not all that great at it. I can bake with the best of them, but forget about cooking.
I'm finding already that i'm getting fuller faster. My big thing now is to resist the urge to stress eat and mood eat. It's that time of year when my antidepressants don't work as well, and I get blue for no reason. Yesterday was one of those days. And all I wanted to do was pig out on junk. Good thing I don't have much junk left, and I didn't feel like going out anywhere to get any. So I watched a movie, and that seemed to help get over the munchies.
I'm anxious to weigh in. I can't really tell my weight at home because I don't have a flat hard surface to put my scales on. The only place in my apartment that isn't carpeted with plush carpet is the bathroom. And the bathroom floor slopes to a little drain thing in the center. Only it's not a drain, so I'm not sure why it's there. But because of the sloping, there's no good place to put the scales. I doubt that I've lost much, which is bad for the competition thing, but I have to take this slow or it won't stick. I have finally learned that!
