The Changes

I've lost 11.6 pounds in three weeks and it has not come easy. Last time I shared with you that Dr. Pepper and late night snacking were two things that needed to change and I have definitely made strides there. Not without some resistance. Around 11:00 p.m. my stomach and my head start chanting so...

 I open the fridge and stare into the light for about 45 seconds

Close the door

Take two steps to the left and open the pantry door

stare... close...

Then I open the refrigerator door and stare into the light for about 45 seconds...

Ok, you get the idea... Which brings me to:

Change #3- Healthy Spaces

Shannon has always been good about not keeping unhealthy snacks around but the seemingly harmless chips and salsa or the obviously-bad-for-you plate of nachos would undoubtedly be my downfall at the end of a day... accompanied by a DP or two. Now when I start the numb, brainless search for a late night snack or something to satisfy the afternoon sweet tooth, my options are limited to a few healthier choices that we buy at the beginning of each week. 

Low Fat Wheat Thins and a Laughing Cow wedge

Dark Chocolate Hershey's Kisses

Diet Dr Pepper

Lots of water

Pistachios

 Bananas

Sounds boring? It's not really. I'm loving the results and it's totally worth it to me. I take food to work and water with me most places so that I don't get hungry and make poor choices. Of course the one tool I could not do it without is my Weight Watchers Etools App with which I track every single thing that goes into my mouth. That's it for this "Change" post. Let me know what works for you!!
