5 and counting

Day 5 and no sodas, no sugar, and no nighttime eating.  3 days of no starches... dang those tempting Sonic mozzarella sticks!!! Almost a perfect week!

Interesting details of this Diet of No's.

  • not tempted by sugary items now.  I made a batch of brownies for the pre-school class.  I knew they weren't going to eat them all so I left the rest for the church potluck; I wasn't even tempted to BLT (bite, lick, or taste).

  •  not tempted by sodas.  I have not had a diet cola nor do I crave one.  I think I've gone cold turkey on this one so many times that my body just expects it.

  •  the nighttime eating is not really an issue.  I've munched on a few peanuts while watching football but have not eaten a whole bag of popcorn like I had been doing pre- "No" Diet!

  • now that I'm more aware of hidden starches, I'm more aware of hidden starches!!  I will not be tricked again by you tasty yummy sticks of cheese (and coating).


In addition to consuming my vitamins and lemon water (which I haven't done consistently), I have to consistently track my food.  I found an old WW tracker and noticed I do a great job of tracking on Day 1 and 2.  By Day 3 I've written down my breakfast, but that is it.  Nada on Day 4-7.  Can you believe I have habitually tracked for 2 days and petered out by the third?  I was amazed and that is why I need to track.  Sometimes we get into habits that we don't even know are habits.  I'm still amazed that this has been my M.O. for months (and probably years).

Mindless eating...mindless activities. This is why I am here.  I appreciate this blog.  I am truly taking a good look at things.  Thanks for being on the journey with me, Grainiacs.
