Little by Little

Yesterday was a tough day for me.  I lost 1lb but it was not easy.  I had to use a lot of self control.  I have been craving McDonalds for the past couple of days.  Its not a big deal when I am home because McDonalds is not convenient and I have other food to eat.  When I leave work I have to drive past McDonalds on the same street as my office.  i am also usually very hungry when I leave work so it hard for me not to pull in.  To fight this I keep some of my snacks in my desk.  If I get too hungry I will have some applesauce or a Special K bar before I leave.  If I make it past the McDonalds entrance I will make it home, which is what happened yesterday.  I walked 2.5 miles yesterday in the heat (80 degrees) and I went to the outlet mall and walked a bit more after dinner. 

I changed my menu for dinner yesterday.  I actually had -
Bubba Burger reduced fat hamburger on a sandwich bun with cheese light mayo mustard & pickles.
Baked Lays

Todays Menu is going to look like this:
Lunch
Bean beef and reduced fat cheese burrito. I use 3/4 can of traditional refried beans, 1/4 lb lean ground beef, 1/4 cup reduced fat cheese and tortillas.  These amounts should make enough for 4 burritos,and each burrito will be around 280 calories.  Be aware that tortillas can very greatly in calories so be sure to check the package.
Dinner
Spagetti with meat sauce (see yesterdays post for specifics)
