I don’t feel like I did very well today. As I think about it though I actually did good stuff. I wanted pizza rolls this morning & didn’t go to the store & buy any! I made sure I ate a big salad for lunch before I went shopping so I wouldn’t be tempted to stop and eat something. It is just when I went to eat dinner I didn’t feel like fixing it or eating it. I ended up having something different than I’d planned but it wasn’t bad stuff. I really didn’t want to bother eating but I don’t want to do that. In the past I’ve done it and then later been hungry and had junk food. I’m trying (actually I think I’m doing it) to eat even when I don’t feel like it because I know it is good for me and I’ll feel better in the end.

Too much bread today - I bought some french bread & it was good so I had it for lunch & dinner. . .

I bought beets & salad vegetables & beans for my salad. I’ve put them all in a container so it is easy to use. I’m working to improve my vegetable consumption. Oh I just realized that spinach is a vegetable. I don’t like it cooked but I can get some for my salad!

9 days - I’m pretty impressed.
