Angel Food (lowfat)

My weight this morning was 157.6 - a respectable 1.4 lb weight loss for the week. I probably actually lost more weight, but I ate a late dinner. I’ve definitely noticed the correlation between eating late and a higher morning weight (it makes perfect sense).

Last week was a great one for me, not just because I lost weight. The scale is the meaurement, but it isn’t what’s important. Instead, I found fulfillment in things besides food. Probably everyone of us blogging on this site has a “food issue” - whether it be comfort, entertainment, etc. that they confuse with food. I think mine is fulfillment. I often am unfulfilled at work, so I snack all day. Ditto for weekends where I am bored or not quite contented. 

 Last week/weekend, I tried to fill my time and  space with something besides food. I kicked butt at my job. Not only was I more productive, but - surprise! - I wasn’t as hungry. This weekend was a little harder, but I did well. Hanging out with my brother, running around taking pictures, exploring a farmer’s market, reminded me that there is so much good out there that I don’t need to fill up on junk. It’s kind of a larger metaphor, isn’t it? Fill up on the good stuff, and you’ll have less room for the bad.

Goals for this week: lost 1.5-2 lbs, get exercising again
