Week 4 Weigh In

I have to confess that I had several "bad" days this week. Did you see the picture of the chocolate fountain?! However, I somehow still managed to lose 2 pounds! A couple of weeks ago, I had watched my calories really closely and I didn't lose anything. My wonderful husband helped me to figure out what I was doing wrong. I was barely eating anything during the day, and then at night I would eat the bulk of my calories, usually in the form of fast food, or some other kind of junk. I have been trying to reverse that and eat a bigger breakfast, smaller lunch, and smaller dinner. My only problem with this is that I don't like most breakfast food and I want to snack in the evening. I'm going to eat whatever food I like in the morning even if it isn't designated in the "breakfast" category, and if I really have to snack in the evening, I will snack on fruit or veggies. I decided that I'm going to stick with nonfat coffee, but not the sugar free. I just can't handle the chemically taste (and if it tastes like chemicals, it can't be all that healthy can it?). It's only 30-40 calories more to get something that actually tastes good. If you get an iced coffee it has even less calories in it because they use less milk. I don't feel bad for splurging on coffee a couple of times a week because it's the only milk I drink (I hate milk!) and the caffeine is the fuel of life! (Yes I know how bad it is for you, but as far as vices go, it's not so bad. . .)
I have not found time to exercise this last week except for one walk with Michelle and the kids at the mall (thanks Michelle!) For reasons I will not go into here, I have not been able to do my workout DVD, so I really need to find other forms of exercise and make it a priority. I will get back to the DVD soon. I need to start thinking of exercise as a normal part of daily life and incorporate it into our routine.
