91 Days left

Today is the first day since my ski trip, that I really tried a lot harder to count my calories. Although, I made it a point to eat less carbs at night while on Colorado, and I was very intentional about eating veggies on the trip. I had a greens salad just about every night, and brought along some cherry tomatoes and snap peas to keep in my room as a snack. Call me crazy...but I can't survive on peanut butter and jelly sanwiches, cookies and chips all week. My stomach was complaining after the first day of that on the slopes. I did induldge in some awesome frito pie on the last day...I know....one America's fattiest and worst foods out there....but it was worth it. I take pride in the fact that I said I was going to straighten my act up, and I started on WHILE OUT OF TOWN!! Woohoo!!

I still failed miserably at the end of the day today, though, with an extra glass of rum and coke, and half a grilled cheese sandwich.

Tomorrow the real work begins. I must remember to:
A: Have enough food throughout the day ready for me to snack on so I don't get so hungry I binge on something not good
AND B: Save some calories so that I can have a bit of a snack before bed...bedtime snacking kills me, but I'm not ready to give it up, so I'll just have to save some calories for then.

I'm looking forward to more veggies and fruits, more water, and less crap.This week we've already been eating home cooked meals and tons of veggies. And I feel much better.
