Coolatta addiction...

I keep trying to break the coolatta addiction... there is NOTHING redeeming in a coolatta... nothing. And I really, really need to stop drinking them. Today I avoided DD twice and then on the third trip "had" to get one. It was good and refreshing and "stress-relieving" but still not good for me. High enough in calories and no nutritional value... the only "positive" about drinking them is that they've helped me get over my Cedar Hill DJ addiction, which was much more expensive and even more empty calories, what with a frappe AND onion rings. Now if I could only wean myself off the coolatta. I like water, I really do, and sometimes getting nice cold bottle of water at a convenience store feels like a "treat." Okay, I'm sick, I know, but it's true. I feel refreshed and treated when I guzzle a cold bottle of poland springs. Hmm...

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

ez english muffin w/pb&j; milk

Snack:

3 oatmeal cookies and a plum (the plum was planned, the cookies were in the staff room...)

Lunch:

2 meatballs; 3 small slices of pizza; some fried chicken leftovers

Snack:

the infamous coolatta (small, with milk)

Dinner:

fresh rolls; chicken satay; butternut curry on brown rice

Snack:

cucumber and tomato slices

The last snack was to ward off eating "junk." I try not to eat in the evening and I am usually pretty successful, but sometimes the cravings win. I nibble cereal or try for something healthy, if I can. Today it was the cucumber and tomato... and it really did the trick. I am so startled sometimes by my mind or body's response to good choices, while other times I make such bad choices. Hmm...

May tomorrow be better...
