I've had a good week, as far as staying within my calorie budget and exercising. BUT, that time of the month rolled around today, and I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. In fact, I always make a point of avoiding the scale during that week. :ohwell: I know that the extra weight I am carrying should be gone in…

Sixteen days with no nighttime snacks during downtime with my hubby. A couple of evenings where we were visiting friends and had tea, but you can't really avoid that kind of social eating without being rude. And, I didn't have any more snacks when we got home, which is not always true. And after 16 days, I'm finally able…

I am doing pretty well with no late-night snacking. We did have guests one evening last week, and of course it is an obligation to serve them tea and snacks, so I did the "social eating" thing. But I've decided that doesn't count as breaking my monthly goal. :wink: I haven't done any late night snacking alone or with my…

Still wanting to have late night snacks TERRIBLY, and I have almost caved in a few times, but in the end I stayed strong.

Ooooh. This is tough. But maybe it's what I need to have a really great January. So, here goes: late-night munching. I have been excusing myself because I try to keep it within my calorie limits, BUT it's a bad habit when I do it almost every day. Let's see if I can break that habit this month, and then allow myself an…

Looking forward to the challenge. If I can keep myself on track, I'd like to lose 15 pounds. :smile:
