still on track and feeling great about it

I have to admit I am proud of myself. I have stuck to it for three weeks now and will continue to do so. It feels good and I have more energy, my back feels so much better and once I start exercising it is only going to get better.
I can do this.

gotta keep it short

I have ground turkey taco meat going on the stove so I can't blog long.
Just wanted to stop in and say I am keeping on track and fighting the munchies for all I am worth.
I did have some half & half in my coffee today but you know every once in a while something like that isn't going to completely derail the train.
Now if I had added half & half to a carmel macchiato that would have been a different story.
Ortega(TM) now puts out a Whole Grain Corn Taco shell, which is healthier and has fewer carbs for Greg which is always a big plus.
I am very excited about being good....does that make me a freak?
(I can live with that, it wouldn't be the worst reason I have been considered a freak.)
Keep smiling attitude really is everything.

One year

I started blogging on year ago today and look, I am down 39lbs.
That is very good. Not as good as it could have been if I had stayed on track all along but still nothing to sneeze at.
Did good today, which is good because Greg & I had a "cheat day" yesterday although considering I had only had 1/2 cup of lowfat yogurt, 1 med apple and 1/3 cup of low fat granola I don't know how much damage I really could have done.
Anyway I am feeling soooooo much better. My back has improved (wonder of wonders, drop a toddler and all of the sudden, your back feels better.)
Anyway, I will be having dinner late tonight because Greg is running late from work so I need to tide myself over...oil popped popcorn here I come.

Weigh in day....

Down 5 more lbs. I know that it won't keep up at this rate but it feels really good while it does.
Anyway I am going to my sister's today. And will check to make sure there is still some Laughing Cow and Celery there first. YEAH!!!!!
I was kind of worried that I hadn't been as good because I haven't been writing all of my calories down but it looks like I am still making healthy choices and that is what really makes the difference.
Only 7 more pounds to that first goal!!!!
I am so excited.

This is why you should never weigh yourself daily

Earlier yesterday I was down 1.5lbs and now I am right back where I was on Saturday, which is frustrating because I have been really sticking to it. It makes it harder to stay good when there is no change. "Why should I it isn't going to make a difference anyway?" shut up internal voice of dissension, we are going to keep on keeping on. I really should have made a better choice for breakfast today as it needs to carry me through until about 1pm and all I am having is a whole wheat bagel with some low cal cream cheese (1.5TBS) and coffee. More protein would have been helpful but it is too late now. I will bring a fiber bar to curb the hunger til lunch.
Gotta go get ready for a busy, hopefully calorie burning day at work.
