OK, I'm scale obsessed at the moment. But that's because I'm at my losing time of the month AND I have a new nifty scale. The interesting this is that this morning's weigh-in brought me to 260.8 which is even closer to what I had been guesstimating on my crappy scale yesterday morning.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. Planning a menu for the day really helps. I still don't always get everything I plan down. Yesterday I never had my afternoon snack. Another note about my eating yesterday. I think that when I have a bigger more protein filled breakfast I don't want to much as much the rest of the day. I know I've read articles about that, but its interesting to see that it's true.
Last night I made a high fat meal for dinner. It was yummy. I'm aloud to have high fat meals. But I prefer they be made from real ingredients and that I have one reasonable portion. I even turned down the kids leftovers on their plates. Go me!
Oh, and a big accomplishment for me yesterday... After my protein rich breakfast I wasn't feeling hungry for lunch. In fact I had forgotten to eat lunch. I went to leave for Wal-Mart at close to 1 p.m., had my keys in hand and all. Then I realized I hadn't had lunch and going grocery shopping hungry would not be good. I didn't want to take the time to make the salad I had on my menu. So I took out three big romaine leaves, some cherry tomatoes and the leftover salmon. I wrapped some of the salmon and the tomatoes in the lettuce leaves and ate them. It saved time AND salad dressing calories to boot. On top of that I was able to stick to my list at the store and only buy healthy items. I even made it past the crunch-n-munch at the checkout. One of my weaknesses is to buy a box of crunch-n-munch at the checkout and have it eaten by the time I get home.
Definitely making progress! Yeah!

You are doing awesome!!
Great idea with the wrap.
When I accidentally end up hungry at the grocery store, I always buy a ripe, juicy pear and eat it in the car when I get outside. It tastes SO good and refreshing and I always look forward to it enough that candy doesn't tempt me!
Thanks Suzi!
Lyn, I liked that wrap idea so much I used it again last night. DH was making himself a sandwich for dinner and I decided to throw together another wrap for myself. Except instead of salmon I had a slice of swiss cheese.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'll be coming back whenever you update and am going to add you to my blogroll. The more, the merrier!! Congrats on the weight loss - and not going shopping hungry!
all the little victories add up! Doing great!
