So I went grocery shopping a few days back… and I was extremely proud of my food choices. Ryan (bf) and I only put items in the cart that we knew we would not feel guilty about eating. It was a big milestone for the both of us… usually we end up throwing a few random “treat” items that will get eaten within a day and leave me feeling disgusted with myself. But not anymore! The “worst” item we got was fat free ice cream, but in this heat we needed something! Plus it’s only 90 cals for 0.5 cup. Just for my own personal reference I am going to write some of my favorites and the points
Thinsations cookie packs: 2
Cracker packs: 2
Thin Addictives biscuits: 2
Popsicles: 1
Fat Free Ice Cream: 2
Pretzels (85 sticks): 3
Weight watchers carrot cake & chocolate cake: 1
Ohhh… and I also purchased a TON of summer fruit! Satsumas, watermelon, plums, and apples! Sorry, but this is really exciting for me, I have yummy foods I can eat without the guilt. On a negative note… I went to the theater last night to see step brothers (really funny movie!!) and I ate 3/4 of a med bag of popcorn. I saved up points for it though. I had 8 points alloted for it, I am sure it was a little over that, but movie popcorn is very difficult to find nutritional info for. Either way… I went for a run and a body blast class at my gym, so I don’t feel guilty about it. Today is a new day… fresh start!

Sounds like you’re managing things very well. You planned for the popcorn and then added extra exercise when you think you ate too much. Keep up the great work!
