I haven’t posted for a little while, but I have been lurking and reading other blogs religiously.  Some of blogs are written so well that I am embarrassed because I am not as witty or descriptive.  However, the purpose of this blog is to help in my quest for weight loss and so I will do the best I can.  :)

Eating over the last few days hasn’t been great, but it hasn’t been horrible either.  Okay…well - that is not entirely true.  Yesterday, my husband and I ended up at Starbucks mid-morning before we headed to Wal-mart to do some shopping.  I initally got a mocha without whip topping and fat free milk - not too bad.  But you see last time we went to Starbucks we split an apple fritter and there they were again - looking delicious in the bakery case.  I asked if DH wanted to split one again and he said no - he was going to have pumpkin bread, but then he went ahead and ordered a fritter anyways.  AH!  But it was absolutely heavenly.  Sweet, soft, doughy.  Perfect.  I ended up eating nearly the whole thing, but barely drank half of my coffee. 

And then we went shopping.  And after we got done shopping I knew I wanted something salty.  So we went to Sonic (a drive in) and ordered mozzarella sticks, cheddar bites and these chocolate cheesecake bites.  It sounds like a ton of food I know - but really I had 2 mozzarella sticks, maybe 4 cheddar bites and one choc. cheesecake bite - so not awful, but not great.  Although not great food choices, I will note that this was the first time that I could pinpoint what I wanted.  Monday I wanted sweet and salty and once those cravings were satisfied I was done.  I ate a very light dinner that night and in general didn’t feel too much guilt.

I have also been making progress on my Couch to 5K program which makes me very happy.  I feel good getting so much exercise in lately.  Good for the body, mind and soul!

We are having spaghetti tonight for dinner and a pear and spinach salad.  I need to continue studying and then hope to get to bed at a decent time.  Overall a good day.

Hope everyone is well!
