Doing ok as long as I get enough rest

Well I know very well now that I only need to get over tired to lose my resolve and start snacking. Last night I stayed up far too late and of course when I get tired I want to snack. Didn't realize that was still a problem until last night. I managed to get through it without too much damage. I went about 100 calories over my 1200/day alotment. From now on I'll get to bed when I'm tired to avoid just that.

Had to do a bit of walking in town yesterday while my tire was getting fixed. Had a slow leak that decided yesterday to pick up it's pace. So my daughter and I walked to the mall and had lunch in a little country cafe. We chose chicken burgers. She chose it with the fries and I chose it with the borsch soup. Not too bad of a choice. The only thing I could pick about it is the chicken burger had mayo and I forgot to ask to skip the mayo. Oh well. I added a few extra calories to my guesstamet and factored it in.

I'm very happy to say that I have two pairs of new jeans that I bought a year ago to hopefully fit into them in the near future. Well since then I got to the point where I couldn't even pull them up let alone fasten them up. I'm very pleased to say they fit nicely right now. It's a good thing as the older jeans I've been wearing I take off without undoing them now. I look forward to doing some shopping as I continue to shrink.

Sadly I think blue berry season has come to a end. I used the last of my daily fresh blue berries this morning. Thankfully I froze a bunch while they were easy to find. Every day since July 12 which is when I started with my 1200 cal/day plan I've had the same thing for breakfast. A activia yogart (80 Cal), 1/2 cup of fresh blue berries and 1/3 cup of bran buds. It comes to under 200 calories for a very satisfying breakfast. Its the meal I look forward to the most. Love it. I will soon start going back to having my oatmeal with frozen blue berries added. Also very satisfying. Well I think I will get off and start the rest of my day with house cleaning. Yehaw!!

  1. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    I think at 1200 calories per day, with a little exercise, you will lose quickly. However, you know it's slower for us "older" ladies. Glad you're looking forward to walking. I do, too.
