Today I stayed home sick again. (I went to the doctor to make sure I didn't have anything more than a cold. He thought I had a sinus infection and gave me an antibiotic.) I actually felt a little better and thus ate more than I did yesterday, or least worse foods -- a personal pan pizza and some Cheez-It chips (the thin chips, not the crackers). Later in the day I was watching Oprah talk to a woman who had gained 100 lbs. after two divorces and somehow during this discussion I decided I needed to keep a food journal again. (Oprah mentioned nothing about food journals or how to diet; she and Dr. Robin were just focusing on how the woman's weight gain stemmed from her hating herself). I hated writing that pizza and Cheez-Its down in the journal, but then that's why the experts tell you to keep a food journal -- to hold yourself accountable.
Later (and before I saw the comment to my "Malaise" post -- I swear), I finally did what I've been meaning to do for weeks: I cataloged what Jenny Craig meals I have left over from months and months ago (by printing the meal lists from the website and then counting what I had) and then used the myJenny menu online planner to create a menu using those foods. I start tomorrow.
My plan is to use up what I have and then decide what to do from there -- either go back to Jenny Craig, switch to Nutrisystem, or something else. We'll see. I've arranged the foods in part based on convenience (breakfasts that I can eat in the car on weekdays; lunches I don't have to refrigerate at work) and the expiration date of the food (oldest ones first). I'm willing to alter the latter if I get bored, however. Again, we'll see.
