Wave 1, Day 4
Day: 4
Mood: Pleased
Breakfast: 1 cup Whole Grain Shredded Wheat, 1 cup milk
Lunch: Salad: romaine lettuce, raw spinach, red bell pepper, chicken, feta crumbles, balsamic vinegar, olive oil; water & unsweetened iced tea.
Dinner: Salad: raw spinach, red bell pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil; whole wheat penne; broiled chicken; water
Snack(s): colby cheese stick, 11 almonds, ice coffee w/cream and Splenda, red tea
Exercise: Contemplating an evening trip to the gym for BodyJam.
Part of the point of this experiment is to make deliberately healthy decisions. Still, I wonder if it's healthy to be thinking this much about food. About an hour I've finished my last meal, I'm envisioning the next. What'll I eat? What can I change up? Should I stick with what works? What's in my fridge? etc. I look forward to the day when the diet has become somewhat second nature and I don't obsess so much.
A nice side effect has been my return to the kitchen. It's been nice to take a few ingrediants and mix them up into something tasty (and healthy). I'm looking forward to trying a couple of the recipies in the book later in the week (Salmon. Yum!).
Good Things About Day Four:
- The prospect of a Sonoma Dinner later in the week
Bad Things About Day Four:
- Nothing bad about day four
