Day 31

After my crazy night of freaking out over nothing I decided to make a plan of eating, so I did. I've decided that I need to structure my eating habits to say away from compulsive eating. Here is what I've come up with: Eat 3 meals a day with 4 snacks in between. Meals are to be eaten 3 hours apart and snacks in between (with at least an hour between feedings). The last feeding should be at least 4 hours before bed time. Since I work 3rd shift this is what my night will look like:
6p Breakfast - smoothie
8p Snack - piece of fruit
9p Lunch - Mixed salad w/ 1/2 avocado
10/11p Snack - pick -a- snack
12 midnight Supper - Vegan dish
1/2a Snack - pick -a- snack
3a Snack - pick -a- snack

PICK -A- Snack List (no more than a handful: regular not bulging)
carrot sticks
celery sticks
pre soaked almonds
pre soaked cashews
veggie chips
fruit chips
fresh fruit

Today I decided to do something different with my salad. What I have been doing is taking a 7 cup bowl and loading it up with greens (packed) and additives (onions, mushrooms, etc....) but today I took my 7 cup bowl and loaded it up with greens (not packed just loosely), threw it in a HUGE mixing bowl then added all my goodies (in the same amount I usually would). Then mixed it up by hand real good. I dished out enough to fill the 7 cup bowl loosely. Last, I cut up an avocado and threw 1/2 on top of my salad then added my Braggs dressing. Guess what? I had enough left over for tomorrow's salad AND it's pre-made and I just cut my portion size in half, how bout them apples!! I feel like I've accomplished something today, YAY!! O, yeah, I about forgot I'm soaking some almonds and cashews today for the first time, I found a chart online and for almonds its says to soak 3c dry almonds for 8-12 hours and 3c dry cashews for 2-3 hours. Well I didn't have 3c all I had was 2c of each so what I did was took 1c at a time and pour into a 1 liter glass jar then added water so now I have 2 glasses of almonds and 2 glasses of cashew's soaking on my counter, they are pretty LOL. I'm not sure if the lid is supposed to be on but I put it on anyway.
