But victorious me had reasonable servings, avoided having seconds, avoided snacking and avoided the candy. I had an epic battle of wills with some rice (i LOVE rice), but felt oh so awesome when I finally made the final decision that NO, I do not need a scoop of rice in a cute little cup. It was also SUCH a life saver to have friends there that I could be accountable to and that were amazingly encouraging. It's astounding what a difference being able to say - without shame or embarrassment - "Hey, I'm eating this cookie. If I reach for another one, please give me a dirty look." And then they say, "I'll grab it right out of your hand." And I say, "Sweet, please do." And then we all love each other.
Sunday wasn't so great as I overate at Enrique's. I felt so full after too many chips and salsa, a cup of cream of zucchini soup and a mushroom and zucchini quesadilla. On the bright side, it was an interesting experience cause I thought, "ugh. I'm so full. huh. I haven't felt that for a while. nice." (As in, I'm glad I haven't been stuffing myself in recent past.) Plus, it was so good to sit next to Mary and chat and laugh with her. Laughter burns calories, right?
I feel so busy after just one day in my new position and it was interesting to see how this whole thing works at my job where I'm used to making bad decisions. I did well today - had an orange, yogurt, quinoa & veggies, and lentil soup along with 2 coffees. We were STARVING by the time we could stop for dinner at 8:30 (had an appointment in the evening to view an apt.) so we ended up at Chipotle. Not the best decision, but I went for the bowl to cut out the tortilla. I think if I end up there in the future, a veggie bowl may be the best option.
