Today is Saturday and it's a good day. I started my day with an 8 POINT breakfast and coffee with sugar free peppermint mocha creamer. That stuff is awesome by the way. I think I like it better than the pumpkin spice.
I wanted to mention that I have found if I don't skimp on breakfast then I'm much happier waiting until lunch to eat. I don't feel compelled to snack on 3-4 POINT items to tide me over until lunch time. I think it really is true, at least for me, that it's better to group food into 3 higher POINT meals and use what's leftover for snacking. If I don't have a meal that fills me up, I just end up ravenous later. Air popped popcorn at night helps too! Many nights I have 3 points worth and it's very satisfying topped with one of my favorite Kernel Season's.
I know I have my monthly friend coming along here soon, so I know I need to be aware that I will have a hungry day coming up. It's been true for ages. I have one really ravenous day. I'm hoping it falls on Thanksgiving!
As I said before, I will not be counting points on Thanksgiving. I'm saying it upfront so as to avoid guilt and after-holiday bingeing. Friday I'm right back on track.
On a good note, I went down on the scale another little bit today. Tomorrow is my official weigh in date (decided by me, lol!). I want to keep the stats consistent.
This time round I really feel like I've learned so much and I pray I keep my attitude good. It's really all in the head, this weight loss stuff. It's so good to write it all here.
