Rainy Days and Weigh In

I weighed in this morning (as soon as I woke up and free from all clothing). To my surprise I was on the lower end of my estimate. I currently weigh 214 pounds. This means I will be at 184 if I lose 30 pounds. WHICH WOULD BE MY IDEAL WEIGHT TO BE AT!!! I chose 30 because is puts me past my yo-yo weight. Often I lose the 20 pounds only to stop before I reach my target weight.
Well...last night was a success food wise. I stayed under my 1500 calorie limit and I did not go snack and soda crazy. I did not make it running, because I ended up with a splitting headache at the end of the work day and upon arriving home I took two advils and a nap. I suspect the NO caffiene which I usually drink a lot of in a day has something to do with the sudden onset of a throbbing headache. Today so far I have had:
Lots of water
a small can of V-8 juice
a few pistachios (10)
and a Lean Cuisine
(SESAME CHICKEN)- sesame breaded chicken tenderloin with pasta, green beans and red peppers.
Quite good for 340 calories!
Tonight I am going to the store and buying some nutritious snacks and more microwave meals. I doubt I will go running due to the rain, however if it stops I will be pounding pavement. I figure even if I am unable to run I am still upholding the healthy eating end of the bargain. Keep your fingers crossed that the rain will go away for an hour or so and let me make it to the track.
I had the worst cravings last night between 5-7:30. I need to probably start eating right around 6:00 to assure I tide myself over and prevent me from going crazy snacking.
I think for dinner tonight I am going to have a salad and a microwave meal and probably some steamed vegetables.
It is interesting that when you begin a "lifestyle change" or DIET that becomes all you can think about in the first couple of weeks. I just was talking to a co-worker and I mentioned how nice it would be to have a fast food patch or gum similar to cigarettes. Smokers complain of the addictive quality of nicotine, but fast food is far WORSE. How many times in a day do I think of fast food? ALOT.
