first weekend

Today marks Day 7 of my commitment and the end of the first weekend. I did fairly well overall. Today's menu consisted of cheerios with a banana. Zucchini quesadilla and watermelon. A small piece of fudge. A peach and more watermelon. Oatmeal with milk. And a handful of mixed nuts. And a lot of water. Not as much as I should have, but enough. And I didn't have any dew, proving that I can have 1 one day and go back to not having any the next.

Looking forward to starting week 2!

happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!

Today we celebrated Joshua's 6th birthday! It's hard to believe he's getting so old. And it is the 4th of July. So today wasn't the best day for my eating. Breakfast and lunch were good - oatmeal and milk, then a salad with egg. I did get all my water in for today. But I also had a piece of cake, a few jellybeans, a few licks of frosting and extra crumbs of cake. It's so easy to just eat and lick things when you're cooking! Dinner was a hot dog with bun, corn on the cob, chips and dip, and a little macaroni salad. On top of all that, I had a venti caramel mocha frappuccino, a small cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer, and 1 can of mountain dew. Whoa, that seems like so much! It's so easy to just get eating and not realize what I'm doing.

So I went a little crazy, but I'm not beating myself up. I got my water intake for the day and I am still cutting way back on the dews. Today makes day 6 of trying to break my dew habit and I've been able to stick with it. Baby steps.

Fantastic Friday!

Breakfast was a little bland today since I tried not to add as much brown sugar to my oatmeal. But I managed. I'm just about finished with 30 oz. of water!

Thursdsay

I started off the day half and half. I had my usual oatmeal. I'm cutting back on the 2 heaping teaspoons of brown sugar, today I only used one. Some things I won't completely give up. But I had also had a piece of bacon. Ya, oatmeal and bacon don't really go together, but Tim is home and he made some so I ate a piece. And saved some for my salad at lunch time. Hope it doesn't set me back too much.

It's nearly 11am and I haven't had anything to drink yet, besides my milk with breakfast. Starting to feel thirsty so I need to get started on my water.
