Day 2 ~ TSFL

I woke up this morning feeling great.  Got ready for work, got here and drank a cappuccino and it was actually quite delicious. 

I also drank 16 ounces of water because I could feel the hunger coming on.  Then when it came time for my second meal of the day I decided to make the Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Sugar Free Syrup. It was a nice meal and tasted quite delicious.  I heated up the syrup too!!

BUT here is what I learned with making the pancakes this morning:

• If you are really hungry don't attempt to make a meal grab - a bar or a shake.  I waited until I was really hungry and I made a huge mess - pancakes all over me, all over my work's break room, it was just a mess because I was not thinking clearly. 
• You need to use a non-stick pan or PAM in the pan to make the pancakes. 
• Follow the mixing directions on the package exactly - at least the first time any way.

The rest of the day went well except I will be truthful and say that today I have had more hungry pangs than yesterday, but I just drank more water, kept busy at work and focused on my goal of being and feeling healthier.

Food is SOOOOO psychological therefore instead of having shakes today I decided best to eat a bar, chili and pancakes versus - food that appears to have more substance.  Although the shakes are delicious!  I just know that when you go through the actions of eating it puts your mind as ease.  

I did get a headache and took some ibuprofen for it - that helped!

On my way home I am going shopping for the veggies on "the list".  I have my fish thawing out as we speak.  It's a great idea to plan your dinner or Lean and Green in advance so that you don't make irrational decisions and then you can visualize your yummy Lean and Green meal!  That helps me get through the late afternoon as well.

YAY!!  Another day down. 

Oh and I saved the best news for last.  I lost 2 pounds!!
