I Welcome the 170s..

Friday I reached an all time low at 179.8.  Hey, it's new numbers, I'll take it, .8 and all!  Of course, in usual fashion, I celebrated the weekend with excess calories and lack of exercise, but I went back on the horse today.  Didn't get to the gym with all the end-of-the-semester schoolwork, but tomorrow is more kickboxing!  And I've got leftovers in the fridge, which means NO EXCUSE!

Food for Today:
1/2 skim milk with 1 cup Special K, cinnamon and splenda (my own version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, ya see..)
Low Fat Progresso's Cream of Mushroom soup with 2 T. croutons
1 orange
Homemade sweet and sour chicken with rice
1 chocolate/vanilla Dixie cup (remember those?)

Another reflection..things I've thought in the last seven months that I hadn't thought of previously..

• Thin people watch what they eat, too.  That's why they are thin.
• It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle.
• The thinner you are, the less you get to eat.
• Every day I have a choice - to eat what I want, or look and feel like I want.  I may make different choices on different days.
• Being a food addict sucks.  It's like telling an alcoholic to just have one drink a day.
• Not everyone has the ability to understand nutrition and what works for their body.  I am lucky I have the ability to change the way I look through my understanding of nutrition and my body.
• Water makes my body run better and tastes better than soda and other garbage.
• I like working out - it makes me feel like I am capable of doing anything.
• Although I wish I could eat whatever I want at times, I like how I feel when I eat healthily.

Until next time..
