Mood:
OK mood, glad to sleep in.
Breakfast:
- What I ate: Nothing.
- Hunger Before: No.
- Satisfaction After: I guess you could say I didn’t over do it.
- Why/Thought: I slept in late, wasn’t hungry, had things to do, didn’t eat.
Lunch:
- What I ate: crackers, cheese, salami and pepperoni, olives, pickles, tomatoes, strawberries.
- Hunger Before: No hunger signal, but I had waited that far in the day to ingest calories.
- Satisfaction After: I finished. I didn’t feel overfull.
- Why did I eat, what was the thought in my head: I had to feed the kids and husband, I wanted to function like a normal adult. I ate while outside, tried to enjoy it.
Dinner:
- What I ate: barbacoa beef, tortillas, mozzarella, strawberries.
- Hunger Before: no, but I had this going in the crockpot all day and I was excited to try it.
- Satisfaction After: Satisfied, more than I needed but did not feel uncomfortable.
- Why did I eat, what was the thought in my head: I had some extra tortillas while I was waiting for festivities. The thought in my head was I wanted to enjoy a holiday.
Snack:
- What I ate: a roll of crackers, Kelloggs Toasteds in the Butter flavor, in the afternoon. Also, while we were doing fireworks, I had a bottle (like, a whole bottle) of cheap champagne.
- Hunger Before: no.
- Satisfaction After: This was more than necessary (I did not require it in the first place!).
- Why did I eat, what was the thought in my head: I had wanted to enjoy a quiet moment with Youngest napping, and my thought was, when was the last time I got to sit down with some crackers and just veg with a book. As for the alcohol, it had been so long since I drank, and I was in the mood to misbehave/let go/let loose/drop inhibitions.
Wins:
- Did well at avoiding food when I wasn’t hungry in the morning.
- Really was on my feet the majority of the day.
- I’ve been drinking sparkling water to get my water intake up, and it helped since I had an entire bottle of champagne.
- It felt really quite joyful to let loose–this is something I want to consider. Could I let loose without alcohol, or why did I feel I needed alcohol to do so.
- I didn’t journal but I got this written the next day.
