Had a physical therapy appt. at 1:45 and because of truck issues did not get meal #2 in until after.
I ate the last 2 of the whole wheat buttermilk biscuits that my neighbor made with peanut butter on them, a plum and a 3.5 oz can of V8. 2:30 - 3:00 PM.
Meal #3 was also leftovers from my neighbors gift. 1 pork rib and a small baked potato with a tiny sliced zuchinni. Heated all in the microwave with a pat of butter, sea salt and organic garlic powder.
Butter, very small pat, was my special treat for the day. I have a learned need for real butter on baked potatoes and popcorn. I have been able to replace it easily in most cooking. I use either olive oil or fat free chicken broth. I saute and thin everything with chicken broth. I use olive oil with lemon when cooking fish/salmon and a little in the water I cook pasta in. It counts as a mufa. Butter does not.
I will probably get a #4 in tonight about 10 after my evening walk.
tip of the day: Rather than berate your lack of willpower, once in a while, indulge yourself. In a 2007 Tufts University study of healthy women, 91 percent reported having food cravings (which the researchers define as an intense desire to eat a specific food). In other words, cravings are common, and the key to successful weight management, experts say, is learning to address cravings rather than always deny them.
"You first have to accept that having cravings is normal, but you don't have to give in to every one," says Tufts study coauthor Susan Roberts, PhD. "The people in our research who manage their weight the best are not those who crave foods less often but those who give in some of the time."
