Greens at Last.

I had a salad today.  Something I haven't had in months.  It tasted nummy!  Day 3 proved to be another successful day.....granted it isn't over quite yet, and my danger zone hours are in full swing.  However, I still have over 300 calories to consume (if I so choose) so I'm thinking I'll be OK. 

Today was such a success that I even had room for an ice cream following dinner tonight (and yes, I STILL have 300 calories to go)!

Actually I thought today was going to be a bust right from the get-go.  I had a calorie heavy breakfast (and it wasn't even that heavy, it was just heavier than my past 2 days).  Immediately, I considered today a bust.  I proceeded to make 2 loaves of banana bread in which I always put some chocolate chips.  Because I considered today a bust, I thought about just taking some handfuls of those chocolate chips, but I resisted.  I have no clue what prevented me from indulging, but I didn't even eat just one.

Then I went to the grocery store where I came across some single serving sized ice cream deliciousness each having around 180-200 calories a piece.  Yes, I got some.  I got some in hopes of using the single serving sizes to help with my portion control, and if I record it on my phone app, then its all good.  I can have it, I just need to record it. 

So today I had my ice cream and ate it too!  I was within my calorie goal for today AND indulged in some ice cream.  It isn't easy, but it is do-able.
