Healthier Eating - Doing Better!

I am happy to report that I am staying on track with my weight loss plan/low cholesterol diet. It's really hard though! I read that chocolate is one of my enemies and MAN, am I not happy about that. I even went into the refrigerator yesterday searching to see if there was anything chocolaty, but all I could find was the chocolate syrup for my children's milk. Guess what, I took a little sip of that. I just couldn't help myself. Did it satisfy my craving? NOPE! But I made it through.

My other problem is eating at night. I'm always looking for something to eat after dinner. The last two nights I've chosen very healthy tomatoes and cucumbers. They satisfied the hunger feeling while keeping the calories low.

One of the things I notice helps when I'm thinking of eating although I shouldn't is putting my mind on other things. The other day I was thinking about looking for discount kitchen faucets and bathroom faucets. My brother is coming over with his beautiful family at the end of the month, so we're really trying to clean up around here. I would love to get new faucets just because the ones I have are so old. However, with th economy being the way it is, you know I can't buy expensive stuff. I'll settle for discounts any day anyway though.

So, about my dieting, I have lost two pounds in three days, and I'm looking forward to being in the 160s again. I don't know how I can so quickly let myself go after all the hard work I did last year. Anyway, I'm back on track and doing well. I need to add the daily 30 minutes of walking my doctor suggested. That's coming up. :-)
