Coming and Going

I have established a pattern in my eating behavior that has been there forever, and continues to exist even now.  It seems that whenever I leave my house, the last thing I want to do is eat something.  Maybe to ensure that I won't get hungry when I am out and about.  Also, whenever I walk in the door, the first thing I want to do is grab a bite.  Before this whole eating healthy thing, I would eat 2 dinners on most evenings because I would eat the equivalent of a whole meal upon walking in my door, and then eat the real meal just a few hours later.  I have that under control right now as I just eat a small, healthy snack instead of a bigger meal.  However, the pattern remains, and sometimes I eat, before leaving or upon arriving, even when I am not hungry.  Its a habit.  For now, even a few grapes satisfies that urge, and being aware of it is key to either changing that behavior or continuing to satisfy it with a good, low cal snack.

Food:
Cereal with raspberries

granola bar

turkey sandwich with all the fixin's
few grapes and cherries
few carrots and peas

few more grapes

1/2 chicken avocado wrap
few more grapes and cherries
few more peas and carrots

a few more grapes

small helping frozen yogurt with raspberries

Activity:
several shorter walks, each about 20-30 minutes in length.  Estimated 60 minutes of walking.

OK, after writing this, I kinda had a munchie fest.  Nothing horrible, but I ate some more cherries, a few more grapes and a small portion of assorted nuts.  Now I am gonna eat a freeze pop.  That is it for tonight.  Yeah, I'm a little muchie. Good thing my mini binge fest is on healthy enough food.
