Day #3 - Blah!

Well I didn't do as well for supper last night as I had hoped for myself.  I had 2 egg salad sandwiches, a cup of cherries and then I had some snacks.  I ate sunflower seeds and crackers.  The evening snacking is the really hard part for me.

Here is the food list from today:
Breakfast - coffee (double, double) & cherrios
Lunch - Spinach salad with strawberries and almonds (sound familiar), banana, cherries and a granola bar
Snack - handful of cashews
Supper - about 4 oz of steak, 1 cup pasta with parmasen cheese and some raw veggies

Hopefully that is all I eat today.  I still feel somewhat hungry, but that is to be expected when you start reducing what you are used to eating.  And that is what I have to do if I want to lose weight.

The blah part of today is that my left foot, my frickin' left foot is revolting against me.  It hurts so much it is very hard to walk, so I kinda walk on the side of my foot which puts strain on my knee.  So basically my whole leg hurts.  What ticks me off most is there is no tangible reason why it hurts so much.  I have a doctors appointment for it next week, but I am contemplating going to a walk in clinic tomorrow if it still hurts this much.  I am basically feeling, the why me, oh whoa is me.  I feel like I have enough things to worry about regarding my back, that it is just not fair that I have this foot thing too.  Plus the foot thing is preventing me from doing the exercise I really need to do in order to help me with this weight loss.  I won't succeed on just watching my food.

But, my friends remind me that it is baby steps, and at least I am getting my water in and watching what I eat.  I will get back to the exercise as soon as I can.  A change in lifestyle is a marathon, not a sprint.  But of course you want the results of a sprint.

I am sure this writing every day will start to slow, but for now I am enjoying sharing my daily feelings and challenges.

I am hoping the blah's are gone by tomorrow.  Wish me luck on my mission to avoid snacking tonight.  After the way I feel today, that will be my biggest challenge this week.  So far.....
