Doing Better

Not counting the small bag of chips I've consumed the last two days, I've been doing relatively well with the water and food consumption.

I'm back on the L-glutamine, and hopefully that will soon recharge me. I still have cravings for the bad stuff, but self-discipline (other than with the chips) has saved me so far. Hopefully soon the cravings will stop all together.

Costco sells a huge skinless, boneless salmon fillet that could feed our whole family twice. It's wonderful to cook up with a little lemon juice and a sprinkle of non-salt seasoning, and it's healthy for us, too. I've been feasting on it a lot lately. Along with fresh organic carrots, cucumbers, and clementines. Non-fat yogurt has been a joy to eat as well. The key for me is to limit the carbs, and these past two days I've done not too badly with that challenge. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Keep reaching for the healthy options, everyone, and you'll reach your goal!!

Blessings,

Eileen

Where has my self-discipline gone?

Oh, I'm getting so frustrated with myself lately. Snacking, snacking, snacking, and not on anything good, either. That's me lately.

Has the chill of the winter sent me into no-no land?

I hope not, because the cold has only just begun.

I've had salmon with veges two times in the last three days to try and keep my meals low calorie at least. But that isn't enough. I really need to curb my cravings for the bad stuff. Tomorrow I'm getting back on the L-glutamine to help me with the willpower, and tomorrow I'm starting to log e v e r y s i n g l e thing that I put in my mouth. No more dilly-dallying. It's time for action, and that means it's time to get serious about making wise choices for my food consumption.

I pray all of you are meeting your goals, and that you're not struggling like I've been lately.

Blessings,

Eileen
