i haven't been doing the most mindful eating lately, just eating things because they're there and tasty. and i won't use the holidays as an excuse. there are more temptations, but still, i should be thinking more. i'm going to revisit that helpful book over my holiday break.
spirutein w/ soy milk (my mom brought be a canister of this as a little addition to my birthday present, very sweet)
pasta w/ a little olive oil
sweet potato w/ ketchup (& salt!)
bagel w/ tofu cream cheese
and then the office holiday party - 3 or 4 glasses of wine & champagne (which, although it didn't get me sick did leave me more inclined to keep reaching for cookies), crudite, pasta w/ butternut squash & swiss chard, grilled zuccini & portobellos, 1 small piece french bread, various cookies. (aside from the cookies, which probably totaled seven or ten by the end of the night, everything was reasonably portioned.)
i've been realizing that i can handle veggies much better than i'd thought - i'd been being very cautious with them since the whole ibs thing, but i think they might not be a big problem for me. i'm still wary of salads, and trickier things like broccoli and string beans (though i did have some string beans the other night), but i think i can handle veggies pretty well - i ate the sweet potato peel, i eat apples with peels, too, so i'm working on branching out.
as for exercise, i did my arms weights routine, and then i briskly walked the three miles from my apartment to the party (which was at my boss's lovely lovely home) - it's one thing the transit strike's good for. today i've already walked the three miles to work (how is everything three miles away?) and i'll be doing the walk home later, too.
