So Far So Good...

Well, so far I've been enjoying my food and eating slowly. Interestingly I find that I actually fill up faster by doing that. I know, I know, everyone tells you that - but it's actually true!

As for the moving more, I've been doing a bit more but not today. I went back to work today and I'm very tired. I have a physically demanding job and it was tough to go back to after three weeks off. Oh, and, I did shovel my walk and my grass driveway. Ugh that driveway is horrible. My landlord will not pave it and I don't have a garage, instead I have a grass driveway that would fit three cars beautifully. So I'm still moving, just not on my elliptical.

I haven't been eating when I'm not hungry - except for a couple (ok, four) cookies after supper. I just like cookies or chocolate. I don't eat them when I'm too full and never feel painfully stuffed, but I do need to give them up if I'm not hungry for them.

I've been thinking about getting more veggies in my diet. I have been craving them like mad. Tonight for supper I'm making veggie soup so that will help with the craving. Also, I'm doing my food shopping on Saturday and I plan to buy more fruit and veggies then.

The one thing that got me thinking was a comment on the show "The Doctors". The female trainer from Biggest Loser was a guest on the show (sorry, don't know her name) and she was getting one woman into shape. In the woman's kitchen the trainer said "you were going to eat this football of processed flour with fat on top?" I'd never thought of cheese toast that way. It was disgusting.
