TMM and I love our food. And we dish up big portions. Whether he's on galley duty or I am, we serve up equal amounts to each other. That amounts to a lot of food for a small (in height, if not in volume) woman. But last night, I was very proud of myself when I didn't eat everything on my plate. I put some chicken and potatoes in the fridge for later. The chicken for today's lunch, and the potatoes can go into a frittata later in the week. I will grant you that two chicken breasts for dinner is over indulgence by most people's standards, but that wouldn't have stopped me eating it before. In fact, I will guarantee that at some point I will eat two in one sitting again. But for yesterday at least, I managed to stop when I was full, and not when my plate was empty. I've managed to do it before, and then gone back to old habits, but I'm going to take each win that I get and run with it.
I didn't have enough cals over to do the rest of yesterday's dark chocolate justice, so I have some low fat hot choc drink instead, and stayed on target. All in all, I'm pleased with my day yesterday. I don't think I'll be having chocolate today either. TMM is cooking, so I like to have a few extra cals in reserve, just in case. He's brilliant at keeping the packaging for me, so I can see the labels. The last time that he made a pork stir-fry, he wrote a list of all the ingredients he used, including amounts, so I could count it all up.
TMM went out for a run early on yesterday and it got me thinking about starting some exercise. I know I've mentioned it before. It's on my mind a bit. So I will have to start doing something soon.
And this week I am not weighing myself every day!
