Week 1: Day 7

Happy anniversary to me!!! Ive made one week!!!!

Time flies by and what i like about this challenge is that to me, it doesnt feel like a diet at all...its just helping me or its a way of reminding me that healthy is the best way to be. It also tells me that many of the preserved foods we have in todays society is really not that good for you. Its probably why so many people are not healthy. I was also watching tv the other day and this guy was so obese that he couldnt walk or anything....he was talking about nowadays its so cheap to buy fast food and many people go for that cos its quick and its everywhere...wherever we go we're bombarded with Mc donalds, kfc, and all these junk food places. If its once in a while kind of thing its okay...it wont kill you...but an everyday habit is really not good. and the younger generations are being brought up with this...The first time i moved to the US one thing i noticed was (and this is when i was 18), that many teenage girls, as young as 12 are the same size of me and many times even bigger than me. Its a bit scary because would this mean that they will face health problems earlier in life? Why are they so obese? is it because parents buy quick foods or are cooking meals the wrong way (fried)???


OMG...this morning i was so good....than i got out of the house to do some stuff and i messed up my meal plan....I had breakfast as usual...than while i was out for lunch time i was reallly hungry and me and my husband stopped at this restaurant in his school. they had a buffet but not a big buffet with huge selections of food. this was pretty small...so i ate:

Small salad
Chicken marsala (yummy!), Broccoli, califlower, mac and cheese(baddddd!)
some banana pudding and it was nasty. I hate it when it isnt homemade! I dont like whipped cream in a banana pudding nor when they use instant vanilla pudding. I dont know, maybe ive always had it homemade and im so used to that fresh delicious taste!!!

Ok than i came home and i had a peanut butter banana sandwhich on whole wheat bread and a snack which consisted of a smoothie.

if i look back, i didnt do too bad...i just had dinner instead of lunch and lunch during dinner time..lol..but i got so hungry at midnight (i dont know why im staying up so late!!!!) so i made me some noodles(mass produced noodles that are ready in 3 mins!)...i ate them with a can of oysters. Oysters are healthy but the noodles noooooo...


Conclusion: Today i will consider it as the cheat day. so im gonna try very hard in eating healthy the rest of the week. its ok to fall sometimes, i dont want to feel guilty about this. Its not like i ate fried food or something....now this weekend we will be at my inlaws...and thats where i always tend to mess up! BUT i will try to control myself this week and i will let ya'll know how it goes.
