. . . the peak was yesterday. My nutso eating on Monday (especially some late night pasta) made me gain a pound on my bathroom scale -- a whopping 203.6 lbs.! But I did better foodwise yesterday. I had Jenny Craig meals for breakfast and lunch (silver dollar pancakes and pesto pizza, respectively), and I had a couple of Jenny Craig snacks (one more than you're supposed to have for one day), but I did not snack otherwise. For dinner I went to my parents' house, where Mom made tacos with Laura's Lean hamburger meat. I had three tacos (the shells were the normal, sort-of-small grocery store brand size). Then Mom and I walked for about 45-50 minutes in her neighborhood. I stayed at the house until ten in the evening.
As I drove home, however, I got hungry again. I hated the fact I was hungry, but I decided to satisfy it. In keeping with the night's Tex-Mex theme, I went through the Taco Bell drive-thru near my home and got a chicken quesadilla. Not the perfect choice, but not as much food as other items I frequently get at Taco Bell -- the Crunchwrap Supreme and 2 Chalupas. So I think the quesadilla was a reasoned choice for a drive-thru open past 10pm on a weeknight. It truly satisfied me, too. And I was not hungry the rest of the evening. I did have two glasses of wine after a friend came over, but the wine did not trigger any food cravings.
This morning, I was down 2.6 lbs. to 201.0. Yea! I know that yesterday I just exercised mild restraint rather than sticking to a true diet plan, but I still feel like it's a good "new" start. Now I just need to keep it up. Today it's been so far, so good -- I've had Jenny Craig's Sunshine Sandwich for breakfast and a Beef Chow Mein for lunch, and then I had two snacks again, but I'm going to try to hold off until dinner. I have errands to do, so that should keep me occupied.
