Daily Food Report #1

I swore that I would, so here it is.  Yesterday, I mentioned in my post about my snack of strawberries and almonds...

After that, I ate my lunch, which consisted of a big salad, another serving of almonds, and a bowl of pulled pork that my wife had made.

Then I had my second snack of the day.  It was the same as the first.  Usually, I try to have a protein with my snack, maybe a cheese stick or a slice of ham or something, but I forgot to pack that in my lunch today.

 

Then it was time for dinner.  I had packed my bag pretty poorly today, so all I had left to eat was the rest of the pulled pork.  No sides at all.  I did still have more almonds though.  I have a whole mess of them in a container in my cupboard at work.  So that's what I ate.

That was pretty much it for me.  But, just to prove to you how honest I'm being.  I also ate a bite of a cookie that I bought for my daughter as a treat for doing a good job at her choir concert.  Here it is:

That is a sugar cookie with a crapload of icing on top.  More icing than I would normally go for, but my daughter's still young and doesn't know any better, and picks whatever has the most icing on it usually.  I only ate one small bite of it.  I wasn't tempted to have more, because I knew I would have to tell you, and also I my daughter wasn't in the mood to share today either.

So, that's all that I ate today.  I admit, as I type this before going to bed, that I am a little hungry, but not bad.  The amazing thing was how well it worked to keep me from eating garbage I don't need to be eating.  While I was at work, I considered grabbing a candy from the jar on my manager's desk, but I changed my mind, because I knew I'd have to photograph it and present it to you all.  After work, as I drove out, the urge to stop at the gas station and grab a candy bar hit me (as it has been hitting me every day for the last while), but I didn't even consider it, because I didn't want to shame myself in front of you all. 

I'm excited about the possibilities.  It seems like it might be a lot of work, but so is food journaling on the MyFitnessPal app or anything else like that.  This is just a more public, and therefore more accountable way of journaling.

We'll see how it goes.
