Day Four - Still feeling motivated!

Breakfast

This morning I had one of my staple breakfast items -- faux Egg McMuffin.  I've replaced all unhealthy ingredients with healthier options -- and it actually tastes better to me.  Banana and water are a must!  :)  Feeling good today.  So happy I went to the gym last night.  I really can't believe how much I love where I live.  The gym in our apartment complex was such a pleasant experience that I'm looking forward to going back tonight.

Lunch

Slim pickings today.  It's time to re-up at the grocery store so I found a left over baked potato from last night's dinner and accompanied it with some vegetarian chili from the cupboard.  Additionally, I also had the leftover peas -- which had butter mixed in.  The butter could have been cut out of the meal and it would have been healthier -- but not the end of the world.

Dinner

Okay, I know what you're thinking "Ummmm, Shannon, that is a heap of macaroni salad that has equally as much mayo in it...and accompanied by a BURGER!"  Yes, tiny voice in my head that keeps trying to keep me on track, this is true.  My mom made dinner and it was delicious.  In hindsight, the burger/mac/mayo combo was definitely not within the realm of things I should be eating, but mom made it.  She even asked me what I wanted and I left it in her hands.  She repeatedly asked and instead of coming up with a healthy choice which I should have done, I ate it.  I also had some Lays Classic potato chips (not pictured above).  Next time I will give her some ideas or pass on the mac salad or had a small portion, and half of just the burger.  I think in trying to make this a lifestyle and not call it a diet, I still have to find borders for myself.  I need to have a backbone when it comes to eating -- otherwise this will not work.

Late Night Snacking

No pictures exist for the chicken breast and white rice I ate later after dinner.  It was like an entirely other meal.  I don't know if it was the mentality that my day was already ruined so why not?  or what!  It shouldn't have happened, but it did.  Need to reign in these splurges.
