Daily Snap: It sounded like a good idea…

April 11, 2017 by DanicasDaily 3 Comments

Hi all! Do you ever have days where like nothing seems to fill you up and you could eat everything under the sun? Yep, that was me today but I can say I learned from it and came out on top, I think.

When I was making lunch in my head, I thought Almond Butter toast all the way on that Oroweat Artesano Bread I got The Husband. Good bread gets me everytime. It really did sound like a good idea rounding it out with apple slices and celery. The thing is, it’s not really a good idea on days you are starving.

It honestly did nothing for me and I was hungry an hour later. Enter snack 2, then, 3, then 4.

I knew I needed more protein for staying power in my day but The Husband has been asking me for real bacon BLTAs so I kept to the dinner plan.

What helped me today:

  • Pretracking so I knew how many points I needed for dinner.
  • Having extra good for me snacks on hand.
  • Truly listening to if I was hungry and being ok with eating like all day because I only ate when I said yes, I’m hungry.
  • Tracking every bite to be fully aware.

On that note, I’m off to bed to catch some zzzzz’s before I eat anything else lol….

Daily Snap Recap:

B: Healthy Eggroll (5 SP), 1/2 Mango with coconut on top

S: Tall Nonfat Cappuccino with caramel on top (2 SP)

L: 1 slice Oroweat Artesano bread (3 SP) topped with 1 Tbsp Almond Butter (3 SP), apple slices and celery then the rest of my apple and celery on the side, 1 caramel nip (2 SP)

S’s: banana, Trader Joe’s Lite string cheese (2 SP), 1/2 oz trail mix (2 SP), 2 cuties, 100 calorie Healthy Kettle Korn (3 SP)

    Yeah, I get the “Why am I still hungry?” thing about once every 28 days (wink). Pre-tracking is always a great way to go, but also keeping tons of zero to low point snacks around to devour without derailing. I have a bid basket of fresh fruit I keep nicely stocked at work and at home for just such occasions. Paired with a piece of cheese or some nut butter or even a hard boiled egg and the ravenous feeling dies for a while.

    Good tips! Yeah, there are some days where my tummy is like a bottomless pit and it’s hard not to go over the points budget.
