It's a Struggle Sometimes

I really have been struggling to eat right these past couple of days. I am craving fried junk for some reason. I have been giving into the temptation a little more than I should and the scale is showing it :(

I mentioned on the Hoosier Losers blog that I have found a website that has really helped me stay motivated to eat healthier. It is a blog written by a registered dietitian on Self magazine's website. The web address is: http://www.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme. It gives me lots of good ideas on what I can eat to help satisfy my nutritional needs on a daily basis. I also like it that Cristin (that is the woman who rights the blog) eats like a real person. She has her sweets and her lattes she just has her pineapple and salads too.

So here is my food intake for the day:
Breakfast: Whole wheat english muffin with 100 percent natural peanut butter and reduced sugar grape jelly, skim milk
Snack: No sugar added applesauce
Lunch: Grilled salmon topped with shrimp and a creole sauce, rice, 1 bread stick, 3 hush puppies and green beans, iced tea
Snack: Kashi bar
Supper: Fried fish sandwich from Wendy's without the tartar sauce and cheese.

I started out doing ok but ended horribly. I am working the 5:30 shift at work this week, but for some reason it is just wiping me out. I just don't feel like cooking supper when I get home so we have done the drive thru thing way too many times this week. Alyssa actually told me she was sick of fast food.

Exercise: Nothing. Unless you count running all over creation to pick up the kids after work today.
