After I made myself a salad and sandwich, I put everything away and tidied up the kitchen before sitting down to eat. I've noticed that I tend to take a few more nibbles here and there (and not log them) when I put stuff away after dinner and this was a good tactic to prevent that.
A nice walk in the sunshine instead of plopping on the couch for my rest day. I had the energy, and it was a lovely day outside. The walk put me in a great mood.
Baby spinach and arugula salad with grape tomatoes and a teaspoon of olive oil, well tossed. Added it to my breakfast of 2 boiled eggs and coffee. Fills me up, starts me off healthy, and tastes very good!
Logging! myfitnesspal has been a life saver for my weight loss journey. It lets me know if I am eating too much or too little before I was pretty much guessing.
Listening to my body. Both when it wants to move and Do Things and when it needs to rest cause losing 60 pounds didn't cure the foot arthritis. (Although I can stand much longer these days!)
Spicy water. It sounds crazy but I am obsessed with ice cold water with a squeeze of fresh lime and a slice of fresh jalapeno pepper in it. I'm learning that a lot of the time when I think I'm hungry I'm really just thirsty and this water is so delicious and refreshing that I actually look forward to it.
I first saw it at Whole Foods years ago (for, like, $8 a bottle!) and went home and made my own and have been drinking it ever since.

Hmm . . . I HAVE limes and jalapeños Thanks for the great idea!
I had lunch with a friend. She suggested Canes for lunch. Nothing there that will fit my plan. I suggested the new Chick-fil-A, and I got a Market salad. Without adding the almonds or the bread things and getting the light vinaigrette dressing, I was full, happy, and on target! I'll be having some ice cream for dessert tonight with my left over calories!

A bowl of fresh watermelon with feta and some "Everything But The Elote" sprinkled on top. It satisfied all my cravings for sweet, salty and spicy all at the same time!
