Hello friends! Here we are - day 3 of this edition of the J-DOC Monoblogs and I should say, it was not one of my best days in terms of choices, but it was quite good by way of portion control. I mean, I didn't break any of my rules or anything, so that's good. Remember, this time around is not about perfection. It's about improvement. Slow and steady will win this race, so I put a couple of rules in that should help me even should I fall into a couple of imperfect days of habits.
Breakfast: Well, it was my first day back to in person school since the bagel ban has been lifted, so I HAD to go back to Griddle This in Dumont and get myself a plain bagel toasted with extra butter. Now normally, this would be accompanied by a Red Bull, but I replaced that with a diet coke can, which feels just as good as a Red bull, but with less long term danger attached to it.
Lunch: I told the people at Dante's I'd be back in February, and I did not disappoint! First day back at school and I kept good on my promise. Grabbed a slice of plain pizza and a white slice with a side of marinara. Add a diet sprite and I'm on my way. I will say that this meal really filled me up, which surprised me. In all reality, I should be trying to have only 1 slice of pizza when I go out. I am going to TRY to do that more often if possible in a situation like this - where i am just going to get myself a meal by myself. Of course, if I am trying a new pizza place for the first time, 1 slice is NOT going to do it, but for a quick stop like this, 1 slice SHOULD suffice. :-)
Dinner: Kristyn was at it again! Organic Grass Fed beef and broccoli with Basmati Rice. DELICIOUS!!! This came out really well. And I was good about it too - I took 1 serving and just topped it off a little bit. We split 1 bag of the rice, which is about 200 calories. Normally we'd make another bag and go to town with it, leaving a little bit of leftovers, but we (I) controlled our (my) urges and kept it to 1 bag of rice. This is big, I'd say. I also had 1 slice of yellow american cheese because Joey asked for one and I was jealous, so I got one too.
Snacking - Definitely grabbed a handful or 2 of mini M&Ms because they were screaming my name. Other than that, I don't think I had anything else as a snack. I was pretty full from lunch and dinner. The late night food ban has really helped me overcome the early part of the day failures I've been having (Basically, the bagel) and the occasional sweets, such as a handful of M&Ms that I have been tending to grab. Of course, my snacking is significantly improved these days. It had become a problem in January, so I'm trying to get that under control this month - the 9pm rule is really helping with that.
Thanks for reading everyone! See you again tomorrow!
