I know, you were wondering about the food!
I felt like I over ate, but I know I really didn't. I think it was because I kept almost all my food for the evening, and because of that, I continuously ate. It was great when we got to the party that there was cucumbers and celery as they are on my unlimited list of things I could have. Realized I should keep some Walden Farm's Caramel syrup in my purse, as that helps with having a dip for the veggies. Next time planning that.
When Bev brought out the hot salsa dip and chips, I sighed, I must admit. I like the mexican idea dip of sour cream, salsa, melted cheese with the nacho chips - it's one of my favorite foods. But I suddenly realized I had brought some sweet chili nachos along, so I went and got them. No dip, but still good. Apparently IP is bringing out a cheese nacho, have my order in for that - get to pick it up this coming Friday. The sweet chili is burny for me a bit, but I do like it. Filling.
In the morning I planned and made 2 IP packages into muffins (3 for Saturday, and 3 for Sunday morning breakfast), made a vanilla shake on Friday night and froze it - used more water so I was able to divide it into basically 3 containers. Had 2 of the containers throughout the day, and added some to my coffees. Actually ended up with 1 container unused and used some of that for Sunday morning's coffee too.
Breakfast on Saturday I made egg whites with 1/2 cup spinach, and for lunch had 1/4 cup rhubarb. Tea and coffee rounded out those. I drank a bit of the shake too. When I picked up AJ, I had some more of the shake, and at the hotel I ate 2 of the muffins. I was getting hungry.
I wasn't overall food focused at the party. Some of it did bring on a longing, but not in a crazy, I'm going to lose it way. The desserts looked good, but I had brought the remaining muffin and a caramel chocolate bar - which is my favourite. They helped. I drank a lot of water, with lemon as that was being offered. Don't know if the lemon made my carb count go to high. I gauged the salmon, asparagus and green beans. Think they were ok in the amounts. So food wise, I was ok at the party - I guess I had planned enough for that, that I knew what I was going to be doing and stuck with it, and ignored the other foods as best I could. In a way, I was short a bit as I didn't have the total of all the shakes.
The harder part was when we went to Tim's for breakfast. AJ had a cream cheese bagel and muffin. Looking at all of those foods, I wanted something as I had worked hard at avoiding stuff the night before. I just reminded myself that all of the donuts/bagels etc were off the list for me here too. Sighed, oh well, and ate my muffins.
I have noticed lately that I am getting more and more full with the amounts I'm eating. It's more head/taste/emotional that I want to eat. Like having a bagel/ donut or cookie at Tim's because I remember - to me - they taste good - I like the taste. That needs work. That's what concern's me with being on Phase 4, that I will go nuts and eat all those foods I've been avoiding for the first week or two. Which will then lead me into continuing them. Not something I want to do. Going to go for a healing on that issue. There is another part of me that knows I will not do that - not go crazy and eat it all, that I will just have something and let it go until the next time, and just eat wisely. Like that part!!!
Oh! I had weighed in on Friday at both IP and Poon. At home that morning I was 191. IP was a zero weight loss/gain. On Saturday morning I weighed in at home.... 189.6! Ha ha ha. I thought I should go to IP and weigh in. I was a bit nervous from eating all my foods in the evening and so close together, but my weight as 189.4 lbs! I hope next weigh in it will be even lower!
