Beating Fast Food Cravings
I have a REALLY hard time beating my fast food cravings! (As seen by yesterday's McDouble! haha) It is really easy when we get busy to just run through the drive-thru and grab that one thing that we think in the spur of the moment is going to cure our every desire! LOL
I have come to the conclusion that if I can mock my favorite fast-food-finds at home, then I will be last tempted to do a drive-thru while I'm out!
One of my favorite things in the world is an Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich just SLATHERED in Arby's and horsey sauce!!
Here is the Nutritional breakdown for 1 Regular Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich with 1 packet of Arby's Sauce and one packet of Horsey Sauce:
415 calories; 44 carbs; 18g fat; 23g protein
On the mock sandwich I make at home I use:
1 Healthy Life 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bun
6 Slices of Oscar Meyer Deli Fresh Slow Roasted Roast Beef
1 TSP Boar's Head Pub-Style Horseradish Sauce
1 TBSP Bulls-eye Texas Style BBQ Sauce
My nutritional breakdown:
208 calories; 27 carbs; 6g fat; 15g protein
Can I get a double Y!!??? YUM and YEAY!

Thanks to me NOT doing that today, my protein count was out of control again :( I am proud that when I did feel a craving, that I ate SOMETHING, and I ate something smaller than what I normally would eat. In the past in situations where I was depressed and felt extreme hunger I would binge eat.

Notes: Today was another bad pain day for me, but at night I took some pain medication and was able to work through 20 minutes of Zumba in my living room. Also, I have been concerned about my extremely high protein intake. I have always been told that protein is SO good for you, but for some reason a red light was going off in my head every time I saw that I was 20g or more over my recommended daily protein allowance. So, I decided to do some research. It turns out that something like 70% of the population overeat protein AND for dieters it's actually bad, because apparently proteins are the hardest foods to metabolize!! So, this COULD be why I'm not having the kind of results I would like. So I'm adding a new goal to my list, and that is to watch my protein intake. I'm going to TRY to not go over my recommended allowance each day, at the very MOST 5g over. The fact that I've been going over my limit by the 10's is making me nervous!

Tomato Chicken Fettuccine
Begin by taking one frozen chicken breast and poaching it in some water in a frying pan over medium high heat. Boil until approximately half way cooked, then move the chicken aside.
Break up approximately 2oz Ronzoni Vegetable Fettuccine into about 2 inch pieces and drop into now boiling chicken broth. Cook for 10 minutes and then drain.
Put frying pan back on stove and over medium heat add 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. When the oil begins to bubble add 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and 1/4c very thinly sliced yellow onion. When onion begins to sweat and become translucent, sliced the half cooked chicken and add to the onion mixture. When chicken is beginning to brown, add one medium ripe tomato, cut into large chunks. Saute this mixture until tomatoes JUST begin to cook down.
Add fettuccine to your pan and toss with tomato, chicken, onion mixture for about 1 minute until noodles are heated back through.
Bring to your serving plate and add approximately 1 tablespoon FRESHLY GRATED Parmesan cheese.
ENJOY!

I am also looking into seeing a new doctor for pain issues as well as the weight loss. I also went a little over on my intake for the day and had forgotten to take my second green tea supplement so I was a little hungrier than I have been the past few days.

Notes:
My pain level has been REALLY high today. Energy was EXCELLENT with no crash today. Still not sleeping well. Pretty sure I'm eating too late in the evening. Also, an amusing little story... As for my mcdonalds snack, it was COMPLETELY NOT planned! My daughter had two infected teeth and this morning she got her last one treated at the dentist. Well what I've been doing is taking her for ice cream after to help with the swelling and to just "make her boo boo's" better. So this morning our appointment was earlier than usual so when we got out the ice cream shop wasnt yet open yet, so I decided I would take her to McDonalds to get her a quick bite and would get her a yogurt parfait instead of the ice cream. They were still serving breakfast and out of my normal habit I ordered her the yogurt as well as 2 burritos and a sausage biscuit for myself. I at the burrito and half the biscuit before I realized what I was doing. (This should be a GREAT example as to the kind of "trance" if you will, that food puts me in!! I don't even realize what I'm doing, HONESTLY!) I have been in such a horrible habit of just eating whatever I want whenever I want, that it's become like second nature to me.
So, I am really proud of myself for a couple reasons. 1. I was honest with myself that this is definitely a problem in my life. 2. I was honest enough to immediately log the food and change my food plan for the day as soon as I got home. 3. I was honest enough and had enough guts to not lie about it on here and to blog ONLY the truth about my eating habits. And lastly 4. For recognizing that mistakes like that will cost me and I then changed my eating plan AND added a little extra exercise than planned to "make up for it".

Notes: I felt VERY energized today!! I had a small crash after the first Green T caplet wore off, but I think that is because I took it when I was already exhausted from not sleeping well the night before.
Weight today: 257.9 lbs.

Starting My Journey
I'm starting my new journey today! I really feel as if God spoke to me yesterday and told me that I have NO business taking care of the body HE gave me, the way that I do!
*AND I FULLY AGREE*
So, I've had the tools for a while to change my life and treat my earthly body with more respect and love, but it is time to use them!
On this blog I will be posting each day what I eat, any tools I use, my exercise, and any feelings I have that are associated with my weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey.
YEAY for a new day!!
