Drinking calories...days 2 & 3

Day 2 brought some wrong choices for me.  I did ok overall.  I worked out, had a nice salad for lunch, and dinner I kept to 2 slices of pepperoni pizza.  After dinner is when things went wrong.  I had some beer.  What a wasteful way to have calories, right?  Nearly 400 of them.  Yes, friends, I had 4 beers.  I I kept within my caloric needs.  I had planned to drink only on the new year this week. But, temptation got me.  It may always get me.  That is one of my huge battles here...is not to drink away my calories. I have cut down a lot over the last year.  I used to have nearly a beer a day.  Plus several on the weekends.  Now, I limit it to Saturdays.  It has been tough...I guess that nearly admits I have a problem.  I am learning to moderate that intake.  Don't judge.  I know I am not alone.  

Real life doesn't like to fit into a new routine of healthy changes.  I had an ok day.  I worked out then drove all over to complete some errands.  In doing so, I missed lunch.  Ahhhh!  A skipped meal.  Let's be for real, we have all done it and survived.  Doesn't mean I wasn't starving when I came home.  I was...really hungry.  I had a protien and veggie packed dinner.  I bought these high fiber, low calorie tortilla wraps.  Cooked up some ground turkey, threw in onion, finely blended cilantro/red & green pepper, can of corn, green chiles, and black beans.  Put it in the tortilla with some lettuce, low calorie cheese, sour cream and ate up.  2 of them actually.  Yummy!  The kids and DH seemed to like it too.  I have plenty of left overs to have a lunch with one!  

I do need to post some before pictures.  Day 3 of any lifestyle change is probably a tough one.  I know it was difficult to get the workout in.  But, one day at a time!  Must do it!!
