How I love food!!!

So I have been absolutely horrible about my eating habits but I told myself yesterday no more!!!

Yesterday I had a yogurt for breakfast. Then I had my oatmeal for lunch along with coffee and a roll because I essentially missed having it during breakfast. Well I actually sat at my desk too long doing work and didn't get up to make my oatmeal at a decent hour.

For a "coffee break", I went out and had a peach pastry with a small latte. I then came back to the office with the left over pastry that belonged to my coffee break companion. It was some puff pastry with lots of creamy stuff inside and slightly dipped in chocolate. I had that despite not being hungry and I think I also had a small block of dark chocolate. Horrible!!!!

I got home only to have a bowl of Honey nut cheerios then later after a run I had a banana followed by 2 scrambled eggs with spinach, tomato and turkey cold cuts diced with a slice of buttered wheat toast.

I only had 2 healthy "meals" the whole day if I can even say that. I feel gross.

Lunch
Today I'm making a better effort. I had my fage yogurt. Unfortunately I didn't have a clean container to be able to have oatmeal. I also had a small coffee and a banana for breakfast. I would have had more for breakfast but I will settle for this now because this is all I have.

I went out early to get lunch so I could eat it at noon. Sure enough I was hungry. I got myself a salad from West Side market, a small roll, and some jelly with a low amount of sugar. I only ate about half the salad, maybe a little less. It has soy beans and garbanzos and so I became full fast. I have been craving sweets lately so I was good and ate half the roll with about a tbsp of jelly to sweeten it up and take care of my sweet craving.

Right now it is 2:15pm and I am getting hungry. I have a peeled grapefruit I bought since Monday. I think I may eat that and see how I feel. I may pick on my salad a bit more. I have to work out after work so I want to make sure I am hydrated and not hungry so that I may be able to hold off to eat after the gym.

I really do have to make a conscious effort to eat and get back to a consistent running/cross-training schedule. I don't want to have extra weight on me as I run...it just doesn't feel good. Let's see how I can be the next few days, weeks, and months.
