Day 6: Dang this football season!

I'm staying up too late; I need my "beauty sleep."  I've watched football all weekend long.  You'd think I was practicing to be a sports announcer.  Not only did I sit on my butt yelling at the TV and rooting my teams to victory (important one: Hook 'Em, Horns!), but I nervously sat eating peanuts.  Peanuts cannot come into my house. PERIOD.  I've made it my "go to" snack when I should be snacking on apples or celery or....anything else that's crunchy!  Not peanuts!!

I stepped on Kaaaa (the scale, I know, I haven't mentioned him in a while) this morning and I'm down 5 pounds.  In WW terms that would mostly likely be attributed to water weight loss that first week of dieting.  Just for kicks I decided to "try on" a pair of jeans that I couldn't button up several months ago.  They fit.  I didn't even have to lie down on the bed and button them; remember those days in high school when we'd pour into our clothing and still look good?  If I tried that today I wouldn't have just a muffin top, I'd have the whole industrial size muffin batch of dough exuding up and over my pants and down past my knees.

I'm on my way to our local art league.  They offer a fiber arts class which sounds like fun.  The good news is I'll have another project to do and I won't (hopefully) succumb to nighttime eating.  Peanuts, beware! Your days are numbered.

Anyone else out there dieting changing their eating habits one day at a time?  I'd like to hear from you.  Do you have your own "peanut fetish" that you are trying to kick?  Tell me about it; I'm listening.  Oh good grief, I really need to stop watching nighttime Frazier reruns and get some sleep!
