I'm on a Roll!

Today was another decent day. Baby steps, remember!! I had a Nature's Valley Vanilla granola bar for breakfast, if you go by the WW point system, it was 4 points, so not too bad. Then I just HAD to go see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and had another small victory, I learned to say the words "small" and "no butter" can you believe it?! I did have a small soda, but I drink soda's so rarely, that I don't think one a month is going to be too bad.

I did end up skipping lunch since I got busy, but I went to Starbucks, and don't you just love when this happens (and it always happens when you're on a diet) I ordered a grande light Mocha Frap and they gave me a venti. First of all, the only source of caffeine I normally get on any given day is whatever is in my green tea, or herbal tea, so not much. So a venti, from Starbucks, has enough caffeine in it to put me through a semester of college. But, again, willpower to the rescue!! I drank around half and let The Boy have the rest (he's ADHD, the coffee helps him, believe me).

Of course, that wore off pretty quick, but thankfully, I planned ahead and had dinner going in the crock, a chicken and corn chili, that doesn't have a whole lot of problem ingredients, chicken, corn, black beans, tomatoes, served over a few tortilla chips, with cheese and sour cream and yes, I know that is all evil, but I only used a very small amount, had a very small bowl, AND ate before 7:00!! I was so glad to have dinner done that early.

While at the store today, I also grabbed some South Beach Diet lunch thingies, I have had one before, some kind of wrap, and it was pretty good, so I thought those might be good to bring to work for lunch. I only work 2 days a week, so not like I have a high stress, demanding job or anything, but I want to get away from eating out, it's just WAY too tempting to slip into Fast Food Mode for me.

I'm trying to get up the courage to weigh myself, but I don't wanna, and you can't make me!! Ugh, even if I did, I don't think I could ever put it down in black and white! Well, 6:00 am comes awfully early these days. I hate this first few weeks of school when I have to get readjusted to living a normal life, and not those of a college kid. But I find all of life is much easier to handle when I've had a decent night's sleep.
