Hello, and Happy Saturday to you! Do you see what I am holding in my hot little hand right there?
I treated myself to a 12oz. split shot soy latte yesterday before my errands. That's right, I had one shot of caffeine!(Insert Angel Chorus here) Seriously, I drank that like it was a shot of booze, I practically slammed it... it feels good to know that it's a choice, not a requirement. You know?
I ate a Lara bar to tide me over - they go so well with coffee too. Cashew used to be my favorite flavor, but I am a fan of the peanut butter cookie, and lemon flavor now too.
I still had to get in my green smoothie! In the (Vita)mix:
-2 cups spinach
-1 scoop greens
-mango
-banana
-1 scoop protein powder
-almond milk
Graham had a goodbye party he attended for a friend at a pizza parlor last night, I thought it only fair that I have pizza too! I cooked up my favorite gluten free pie and may or may not have eaten the whole thing... Portion control has not happened, yet. Progress not perfection - trust me I felt the pain of my choice still 3 hours after eating it. When I overeat now, I notice that the second portion - or the "too much" part doesn't even taste good. In fact, I am usually eating it too fast to really savor and enjoy it anyway. Old habits die very slowly but I know they can be overcome - what's done is done.
Do you have any favorite tips for portion control? Are their certain foods that are more difficult to say no to after you've had a serving?
