We're right in the middle of Week # 3 of this whole weight loss thing and I had a little breakdown. Up to this point, being hungry really hasn't been bad. I've noticed I'm satisfied on less food than before, because I'm eatng so much healthier.

But yesterday (Wednesday) I fell off the bandwagon a little bit. I left work around 12 p.m. (which is normal, considering what time I come in), and went home extremely hungry! I had already eaten what I usually eat for the day, but still!

So the first thing I had was a turkey sandwich -- not too bad. The whole thing - including cheese, meat, bread and mustard - was about 210 calories. I should've just stopped there!

After that, I had about a cup and a half of popcorn from a tin. It's still left over from Christmas... so buttery and yummy! And then I had some home made salsa (still pretty healthy) with chips. It's like that 'once you start, you just can't stop,' saying.

Without any more ridiculous details, I ate over 1,000 calories within 45 minutes! My dietician Laura is NOT going to be happy with me.

However, I did manage to get everything turned around after my nap. I went to the gym last night and did about 35 minutes of pretty intense cardio. After that, I had a small steak and broccoli.

Grand total of calories for Wednesday: 2,000. I don't even want to mention my carbohydrate and fat intake numbers!

Here's to making Thursday (and the weekend) a little healthier. Too bad I'm going out to dinner at Hacienda tonight...
