I managed dinner

I did a great job managing dinner. Normally I would just order pizza and we’d all be in for a heavy dinner. But instead I ordered my parents a chicken meal, pizza for my husband, and I supplemented it with steamed peas and rice. I had a salad, the peas, and a medium size slice of garlic bread with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a pepper.

I felt great about what I ate. All in all the whole day’s intake was on the high side of my goal but not too bad. I was glad that I had the gauge of my calorie journal as a reference to help keep me in line.

I go through phases with calorie counting but right now it’s what I need. Did I mention that I have a mini goal to lose 10 pounds in a month? I think that’s reasonable and I’m really eager to fit into more of my clothes and make my legs feel better. I’ve been feeling pretty great over all but I am still considered severely over weight. I take those charts with a grain of salt but if I’m falling into the severely over weight category then it’s safe to say that I’m at least over weight and can improve.

Yesterday I wasn’t feeling well with a mild stomach virus or something and it made me feel a little bummed out. I’m going to be a little forgiving considering my physical state but I was thinking again about needing to find my passion to feel motivated. I want to write about that more because I want to release some of those feelings and see where many of you are at. I need some perspective on that. I don’t know, we’ll see.
