Despite all of my efforts, today was harder than yesterday. I've had both victories and challenges. Being away from home is hard. So far, I have learned that I can certainly make the Cinch plan work while traveling, but I still have a long way to go with my will power surrounding the constant need to eat. I don't understand why I contantly feel like snacking? (It's certainly not boredom since we've been quite busy during our trip.)
BREAKFAST (9:00 am)
Kashi Go Lean Cereal, Yogurt, and Lara Bar:
Apple Pie Lara Bar (fruit and plant-based fat puzzle pieces of the Cinch plan)
3/4 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal
6 oz vanilla yogurt
Dash cinnamon
LUNCH (12:30 pm)
Turkey Burger with Steamed Broccoli:
1 cup steamed broccoli
1 slice Nutty Oat bread, cut in half
4 oz turkey burger (this was 1 oz. over what I should have had for the protein)
No plant based fat
Pickles and mustard on the burger and Pampered Chef Tomato Pesto Garlic seasoning for the broccoli
Before lunch, for some strange reason I ate 5 crackers, a bite of a biscuit, and 2 bites of my son's chicken finger while I was waiting for my turkey burger to cook. I was pretty hungry and was multi-tasking way too much, which in turn made my meal take longer to cook. Yet another reason why it is important to plan your meals ahead of time and not be distracted.
I had my dark chocolate 100 calorie bar around 3:30 pm.
No snack today because we were having a family dinner tonight where I wasn't sure I could stay within the plan.
DINNER (6:30 pm)
1 1/2 cups of salad with tomato, dried cranberries, and 1 cup cooked green beans
1 small wheat roll
3 small slices of honey baked ham
Sliced almonds on my salad
After dinner, I had 2 bites of my son's chocolate chip bar and another piece of dark chocolate at my grandma's house. This was a small victory considering that I was thinking about having a whole piece of peanut butter cream pie. And I skipped it -- Yay for me!
After we got home, I got hungry while watching the Grammy's. I was tempted yet again by the nacho cheese Combos in the pantry, but I ended up having another Lara bar instead (the Cashew one). I wasn't too impressed with this flavor. So far, I like the Cookie Dough and Apple Pie flavored Lara bars.
I'm really hoping that tomorrow is easier than today.
