Though it's been a pretty good day, the WW plan was not so good for me today. Well, it started off well, but dinner was not so good. We had Stromboli for dinner (homemade, yes), and needless to say how many calories are in that. We have had the ingredients for a while now (since before I started back on WW), and if I had really thought about it while we were at the grocery store, I would have said, "Let's not eat that anymore." lol
Tonight, I told my husband that I didn't want to make it for a long time, and he agreed, because we tend to get tired of meals very quickly (except spaghetti).
I have finally come to realize that if you want to eat healthy and don't want to waste food, or make your spouse suffer along with you... you must carefully plan meals.
I know I've said this a million times, but it's really hard to plan meals for just one person. Spaghetti sauce doesn't come bottled for one person. A loaf of bread will go bad before a single person can eat it all. Nope. Everything is packaged for at least two people, which sucks. We need meals that can be customized for any amount of people, so I don't feel like I'm wasting food.
Tonight, I considered only eating one slice of that Stromboli and "taking some to work tomorrow." BUT, I knew that would never work, and I feel bad throwing out a large amount of untouched food... so I had 2 slices.
Food Consumed Today:
- 3 cups Honey Combs Cereal
- 1 Granny Smith Apple
- 1 Granola Bar
- 1 Glazed Chicken Lean Cuisine Dinner
- 2 slices of Spiral Stromboli
- 1 hand full of candy corn
- 1 Diet Mountain Dew (I didn't crave the caffeine, I just wanted something that taste different than water)
Wii Fit Exercises:
- Basic Run (Island Lap)
- 45 Jackknifes
- 10 Minutes Advanced Step
- Penguin Slide
- 20 reps Triceps Extensions
- 5 Minutes Hula Hoop
- ..... I'm forgetting the rest, but total, I did 49 minutes worth of exercising
Weight Watcher Status: Today, it is a given that I went over my 29 daily allowed points. By how many points? Well, I hate to say... at least by 12 points. :'( In my defense, I am still learning, and do not plan our family meals ahead of time. I know this is the key to my success, and with the proper amount of planning, I will get my meals on track, and I aim for an entire week of not going over my points whatsoever.
