Photo Journaling - Day 1

So today is day one of brutal honesty with myself.

I know emotional eating and binge eating are not simply will power, but I also know I'm the only one with the power to overcome them.  So I plan on photo blogging my daily food, hopefully to inspire someone else (or just interest them) and keep myself accountable.

I ate more than I want to admit yesterday and wasnt hungry first thing so breakfast was 2 cups of coffee with lots of fat free milk.

A little while later was a cup of detox tea.  Not the best tasting stuff but after the last few months I needed it!

Lunch was a hearty bowl of soup, same as yesterday.  My home made veggie soup with diced leftover chicken, fresh lemon juice and fresh cilantro!  So incredibly good.

I had a snack on the drive to school, a large Fuji apple.  My favorite!

Thursday are class from 4-6:45 so this was my mid class snack; a small tangerine and some turkey lunch meat for protein.  I used one of my favorite little bento containers I got for Christmas.

After that class I have class from 7-9:45 so dinner is always eaten right before or in the beginning of class so I pack finger type foods.  I had a light string cheese, diced chicken breast, finely sliced carrot, a small tangerine and a little bit of blueberries and pear.

Then the rest of my food.  I had this delicious bag of mixed dried fruit for dessert after dinner.  Then when I got out of class I had another light string cheese and apple around 10 for my snack.

All in all today was great!  I did really good packing my meal and snacks.  I also started my day with a 55 minute walk/run (about 3 miles).  Day one down, which will tomorrow hopefully all the easier.

Also,for accountability purposes my weight this morning was 189.2 which was really hard to look at but I can get it back down if I dont give in.
