Let me backtrack to lunch when things were looking a little better...
For lunch, I popped one of these guys in the micro...
I think I have posted about these before; they are so good! I find them in the natural foods section of my local Giant. They "taste like chicken"!! Imagine that. A good buy for only 2 Points. I had it on an Arnold Sandwich Thin (I can never be without these now!) with some lettuce and 2% cheese. A sliced apple and (you know I gotta have 'em )Kettle Baked Potato Chips filled up the rest of the plate...
For my afternoon nosh, I had 2/3 c. plain yogurt, 4 sliced strawberries and a scant 1/4 c. of my Cinnamon Granola...
Alright, here's where things started going a little awry. I made it a point to watch Oprah today because she was going to announce to the world for the zillionth time why she has regained her weight. I watched her tell her story and I really felt for her; really connected with her tales of woe. Then, I felt instantly depressed because if Oprah can't get this flippin weigh loss thing down, with all of her personal chefs, spiritual gurus and personal trainers then how the heck am I gonna do this???!!!! Ugh! I don't know why it bothered me, but it did. I got too caught up in it and I shouldn't let Oprah mess me UP! I'm not blaming her really, it's not her fault that I can't control myself. Anyhow, while watching the show, I was in the process of preparing this very healthy dinner of baked chicken drumsticks with roasted fennel and carrots. I also pulled out a Sundried Tomato and Garlic Roll from the freezer to go with it...
While I was roasting this lovely, healthy dinner (hear that, Oprah!!), I shoveled a large handful of pretzel sticks, a small string cheese and 4 real potato chips. Greaaaat :l Then, I sat down to eat the nice healthy dinner in a 'scarf it down to just get it over with' way. Not an example of mindful eating. At this point, I am still a bit depressed and have now added stressed because I just ate crap I didn't need/want and I have signed myself up for the BLBE 2 and now I fear that I will suck royally at this and totally let my team down:( In an effort to bring myself out of this depressed eating state, I made cookies! WHAT??? I know. I believe it has already been established that I need counseling in this area:P Thankfully, I made a healthy -ish cookie. I came up with a pumpkin choco-chip cookie to use up the rest of my leftover canned pumpkin (yeah, that's why I did it). I ate two of these for 2 Points...
Which brings me back to my room where I have fled from the clutches of cookies and chips. I made some tea and decided to post early to signify the end of the eating. Now I can get to bed early and spend some quality time with the husband where he can breathe all over me and spread his bubonic plague. Ooooh, can't wait :P
