Day 5- I broke a new weight-loss barrier!

Decided to skip breakfast today due to lack of time to cook this morning.  Just had a banana and a coffee at school instead. I only had one class today, then ate lunch at school.  Had about 1 1/2 cups of my homemade tuna salad- tuna, mayo, celery and mustard.  I also brought veggies with walnut red pepper dip, but the vegetables were from last week packaged in a baggie and were somewhat slimy, so I chose to throw them away.  When I got home, I did some strength training exercises just to get back into the swing of it.  I didn't end up eating until about 5:30.  I had my shredded pork and asparagus, then half of a grapefruit.

One thing that I do to satisfy sugar cravings is chew gum.  My current favorite is Orbit "strawberry remix".  I know it contains chemicals, but again, that's something I choose to allow for now.

Later this evening I went to study with a classmate at a Starbucks.  I had a Lemongrass hot green tea, with some honey and 2 Truvia packets.

Did I mention that I finally broke the "200" barrier!?!   I did a few weeks ago, but then my weight went right back up.  I've been below 200lb for 3 days now, and I am praying that I can continue to stay below this number, and it will continue to decrease!  You're not supposed to weigh yourself, but I do it every so often to keep myself in check, and provide motivation.  I'm really motivated right now!  :)

I'm hungry now, at almost 11pm, so I'm going to eat an ounce of almonds.  I need to go to Costco to get more, as this is my last bit of nuts!  Nuts are an easy way to get in calories and protein.  You just have to watch that you don't overeat them.  ;)   The only nut that I could eat too much of would be cashews!  Costco sells a big tub of mixed nuts for like $8 or $9.  They're good to pack for snacks if you're at school or work and are really hungry.

Hasta mañana,

Tina
