Saturday was 2 weeks no candy. I've had cookies and chips and some other not-so-great food - but no candy. I've had it thrown at me (parade), offered to me, brought from Hawaii, gone to the movies, been at a ball game: all without candy. I'm starting to believe I CAN do this. The other junk food has been in moderation.
Surprisingly, I've actually thrown a lot of stuff out - or given it to hubby or the kids. I'm trying to be aware of what actually TASTES good. Spend a week doing that...it's enlightening. There are foods I eat that I don't actually like the taste of. I've been using moderation as well. I haven't been writing everything down, more just trying to pay attention. Be aware. It's been interesting.
My next elimination item will be chips - target date Sept 1. This is a big one. I love chips. The taste, the smell...well, you know. I just love them. But they're a trigger for me. And while I love EATNIG them, the aftertaste of guilt isn't worth it.
I'll replace them with more fruits and vegetables. Ya, that's the plan (good thing I LIKE fruits and vegetables!).
My exercise hasn't been great - I've been active and walking and working in the yard, all of which count towards activity - but I haven't been running, swimming, or biking in awhile. Tonight I WILL swim - I need to make sure I can swim the distance I'm signed up for without drowning.
How's everyone else doing - I've been slacking on the blogging and blog reading - work is crazy, life is crazy, my internet time seems to be at a premium these days. I need to re-prioritize.
so - that's my update - and my weigh-in this week is 202.8. But that's about to change this week!
