Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!


I made a bowl of cereal this morning that was the recommended serving size. It was laughable! 1 cup of cereal with 1 cup of milk. I couldn't believe how tiny the portion looked! I'm someone who puts as much cereal as I can in the bowl and only allow enough space for it to rise when I add milk. I wanted to give the serving size the benefit of the doubt, though. So I just at my portion, wondering if it would keep me full until my next snack (I eat every 2 hours). To my delight, I did stay full for 2 hours! Who knew?

So I'm having what could probably be considered a "perfect" day. I'm getting household chores done, I've eaten healthy foods and stayed on my Points plan, I've even drank 5 servings of water already and its only 1pm. I even had enough points leftover that I got to have a Littel Debbie heart-shaped snack cake for dessert. But instead of basking in the glow of my healthiness today, all I can think is "I want more cake." Seriosly--"I should patch my husband's jeans. But I want more cake. I should organize my office. But I want more cake. I should do another load of laundry. I WANT MORE CAKE." It's pathetic actually. Thus far, I haven't given in. However, I have to get through a lot of hours before bed time. Maybe I should just eat celery for the rest of the day and use the remainder of my Points for cakes. Let's see, that would be only about 2-3 packages of cakes. Nope, definitely won't tide me over until bedtime. I guess I'll just keep white knuckling it stay with my plan. I've already got a very yummy and healthy supper cooking in the crockpot (teryaki green tea pork that I will serve with steamed broccoli). Let's hope I can distract myself!!

I did go to GNC and buy some multivitamins yesterday. I've always wanted to take multivitamins, but they make me so constipated and yucky feeling. I bought some without iron that are specially formulated for women. I also started taking fish oil capsules for my cholesterol. I took my meds exactly as directed today (yes, that is a struggle for me since I can't take them all at the same time first thing in the morning with breakfast). It IS a good day so far. I just need to forget about that damn CAKE.

Oh, I hear you! I remember the first time I measured out my cereal and milk with the food scale. Holy crap! It's nothing compared to the monstrous versions I usually poured. I switched to other breakfasts after that because the puny little dab of cold cereal and milk never filled me up.
