Me, Myself & My Diet

So I seem to have found a system that is working for me right now.  I'm watching my refined carbs like a hawk.  I've been eating this way most days for a few weeks now.  I eat a high protein breakfast, usually a hard boiled egg plus a yogurt, sometimes instead of yogurt, I'll eat a string cheese.  Then for lunch, I have a giant salad full of veggies from my farm share, plus some cheese and another hard boiled egg.  Then for dinner I eat some type of meat or fish, plus some giant pile of veggies or salad, and possibly a potato.  Then after dinner I eat an ice cream or some popcorn (generally the only non-complex carbs that I eat all day.)    And to be honest,  this is easy.  For now.

I may become bored with it, but with this farm share there are so many veggies and salad things, plus cheese and eggs to eat, and I feel obligated to eat them all because I've met the farmer that grows them.  So for the next 18 weeks, I at least have the food to do this. 

And this is not to say that I don't fall off the wagon:  this weekend, I ate pizza, drank beer, ate a brunch buffet and cookies, but because I have a plan for the rest of the week, I know that I'll be fine.

Does anyone else do this?  It feels so natural, because of all of the veggies and lean meats.  And it makes me feel great.  It has helped me break some bad habits and it seems to keep me away from my overeating trigger foods, like chips, cookies, etc.  I think it's the  can do until I return to meetings in September.
