Day Six

Despite my excellent progress yesterday, I had two unused portions - one grain, one fruit or veg. And by bedtime, I was starving and couldn't resist the urge to eat them. I had a second half-avocado and a slice of seven grain bread...and an over-the-daily-limit tablespoon of mayonnaise. And ohhhhh - it was SO GOOD. I will put them in the tracker and see how much difference they made to my tally.

I am tired this morning, after getting to sleep late and then having a bad dream before waking. Sleep makes a difference to weight loss, and I did go to bed on time; I just wasn't ready to sleep. The tracker talks about limiting my intake of coffee. Yes, well. One huge step at a time! I need my morning caffeine.

I haven't pulled together my meal plan yet, but I expect it will be another breakfast sandwich, snack of avocado, lunch salad, snack of cherries, and then dinner with the last of the chicken. I am not creative in the mornings! Especially while I am still on my first cup of coffee. I may start making my lunches and such the night before.

I wonder if that, too, will become easier? I am not a big fan of fiddly food prep. Measuring and counting and slicing and chopping. But it's been less than a week. Gosh, do you think maybe patience might help?
