I have found myself nibbling way too much at things I shouldn’t be eating. Granted, it’s a far cry from the ravenous devouring I used to do just a few short weeks ago, but it does undermine my efforts to lose weight all the same. At least it is merely slowing it down, instead of reversing and packing it back on.

 Some days I have great ability to resist temptation. Some days are “just one little taste/nibble/corner/point won’t hurt…” (trouble with that is I forget all the little t/n/c/p’s throughout the day and I’m way off on my eating!). I really should write down what I eat.

This leads me to the problem of Writing Things Down on Random Pieces of Paper and Subsequently Losing Them. Organizers work somewhat, but only for a short period, then I forget where I put the organizer.  I see there is a food journal on here…I’m going to check it out. Now, where do I find the time to log in and journal what I eat? You’d think chasing after a 15-month old all day would just melt away the pounds….anyway, either way I have to be conscious of what I’m eating at all times.

I’m doing better than I was just a month ago. I have consistently worked out at least 4 days a week on average, and I’m making more healthy food choices. I must remember I didn’t gain 76 pounds overnight so I’m PROBABLY not going to lose them that way either.

One more cook out on Monday. This time, it’s at my home, where I have more control over what is being served.  Here’s the menu:

• grilled lean hamburgers, turkey hot dogs
• 98% fat free buns
• leaf lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles
• condiments available
  • ketchup
  • mustard
  • kraft mayo with olive oil
  • dijon mustard
• California Salad
• Strawberry Lime Gelatin Dessert (recipe posted!), fat and sugar free!

I’m getting hungry now, I should quit talking about food!

 Hopefully this is the last holiday for a couple weeks? Father’s day is coming up, then 4th of July, Labor Day…everytime I turn around there’s another reason to get together and eat! But I have to remember that just because the food is there doesn’t mean I have to eat it. And nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
