I did it!

I went to a movie without loading up on junk food!!  I took 1 cup of fresh cherries and 40 chocolate covered raisins and my water bottle full of fresh ice water.  I shared about 10 raisins and 7 cherries with my husband.  I did eat 8 malt balls that I didn't plan on, but that's ok!.  I was hungry when we got out of the movie though.  I have been hungry at night if I stay up late.  I have been eating less food, more times in the day to try to boost my metabolism. So now I've been getting hungry every couple of hours.  What to eat on those late night hungries????not sure ???  I did eat a  small piece of pizza and 1/4 cup ice cream with the kids when we got home at 11:00pm.   Not the best choices, I know , but right now I am focusing on the fact that I was content with the small portions and not having to have 1/4 of (the carton) of ice cream and a small (plate)of pizza. :) Trying to stay positive so I don't give up!  Have a great Day!

Movie Challenge

My Husband and I are going to a movie tonight.  The challenge will be if I can go to a movie and not pig out on junk food while I'm there.  I'm planning ahead to take some cherries and a few chocolate covered raisins.  This way I won't be totally depriving myself of some thing to munch on.  We won't be going out to eat so I will eat at home before we go.  I have been doing good on my food choices so far.  I've been increasing my fruit & vegi intake and decreasing my carb and fat intake.

On my way...

So, I'm on my way to getting started already.  

I finally figured out how to get this blog started and post a picture (not of myself of course, maybe later).  I do really like the progress pictures that Jennette Fulda (pastaqueen) has posted on her blog.  Someday I hope to be able to do that on mine.

I have been trying to watch what I eat, without giving up, for a few of weeks now and so far so good!  I was really inspired by the weight loss blogs that are out there.....I never knew they existed.  That's why I'm starting this one.  I need the support of others out there that are struggling with the same things I am.  And someday I hope to be an inspiration to someone, somewhere! :)

Getting started.....this will take some time :)  

 please be patient with me!
