Yesterday's Eats

Began with a good breakfast. I had an egg "fried" in Pam Cooking Spray and an English Muffin topped with a lite garden vegetable cream cheese. Along with that I had a small glass of orange juice which provided me an unpleasant surprise - pulp. Ewwww. I really don't like a drink that has "stuff" in it. That really freaks me out for some reason! Anyway, it was a nice breakfast and it felt like a good start to the day.



For lunch, there was leftover mushroom soup in the fridge so I had a small bowl of that with a small salad, topped with a few green olives and some ranch dressing. Bacon bits finished that off and it, too was delicious!



In the afternoon, I hit a major bump in the road. My PMS was in maximum overdrive and I had a colossal meltdown. It was like the PMS perfect storm because certain events aligned and washed over me in a way that left me defenseless. Thankfully though, I just cried it out instead of eating my way through it. It was a rough time but it felt like a win because I didn't try to apply food as the salve to my emotional wounds. By the time dinner rolled around though, I was completely exhausted and just couldn't get off my duff and come up with a plan for dinner. Sean picked up something for me on his way home and, although it wasn't great, it could have been worse! I had a Chick-fil-a sandwich, fries, and an unsweetened tea. Not great, but not horrible.



It was a hard day in the end, and I was mentally spent, but I felt like the victor in the battle which was important. I'm having surgery in a couple of weeks and won't be able to work out or even clean house for up to 8 weeks and it's vital that I get a grip on emotional eating before that gets here. Otherwise my weight situation could be pretty bad by the time my recovery period is up. Keep your fingers crossed!
