Only a little hungry

Today I still felt a little hungry, but not as hungry as yesterday. I had a similar meal plan to yesterday, but it seemed to go a little better. I did add an extra fruit today (two pineapple rings) and perhaps that was just enough to make it so it wasn't as bad as yesterday. And I saved my yogurt for after our walk tonight - that helps a bit since it's nice to have something after exercising. Normally, I think it would work better to take our walk before dinner, but I stayed at school late tonight and so by the time I got home, it was 6pm and by the time we got finished with making dinner and eating it, it was 7:30pm. I got my 2 litres of water in today - I found that by carrying it around with me in the classroom rather than keeping it on my desk, it was visible to me and so I drank more. I am rarely at my desk during the day, so bringing it to where I usually am in the classroom made it easier for me to get my water down. Mike and I had a good walk today - 2.2 miles - but now I feel too tired and too strained to do my strength workout. So, I am going to have to do it tomorrow - which is okay since I won't be doing my next workout until Monday so I will still have two days in between my workouts. It's hard on Fridays to get up the energy to do so much exercising, but finding 30 minutes on a Saturday should be workable. Menu today: breakfast - waffles, maple syrup, milk, orange juice, strawberries, lunch - turkey and tomato on a bagel with mustard, pretzels, snacks - pretzels, pineapple, yogurt, supper - pork tenderloin, rice, mixed vegetables. We added half a tablespoon of soy sauce to the rice to make it more tasty since I'm not fussed on plain rice, but I think we needed to add the full tablespoon, so next time, we'll do that and see how it tastes. I decided today that I am going to give myself a treat when I lose five pounds - I think that will help me to keep on track when I am feeling a little hungry. They say that you shouldn't treat yourself to food, but I am going to anyway. :-) I am going to allow myself to have a chocolate bar at that first goal. When I get to ten pounds loss, I am going to get my nails done. I will have to think about what I will do at fifteen pounds.
