I though for sure I would loose something by not eating that high calorie high fat breakfast (chocolate milk & Hostess apple pie). But I'm not trying to loose weight right now, I'm breaking bad habits. And I'm doing very well at that!! Yesterday I went and got my hair cut. I got home around 2:00pm and really wanted to eat something. But now that I know I can only eat three times a day I didn't eat a thing until dinner. But I'm gaining weight because I'm allowing myself to eat whatever I want for lunch and dinner. But it's okay because I'll be taking care of that later. Taking one step at a time.

My next step is not to eat desert after dinner. This should be a challenge for me. Because its such a bad habit. A part of me will be missing... but I'll be gaining a new part of me as my habits change.

So far by changing my bad habits I have gain two new good habits: Eating just three times a day. And eating a low calorie, low fat breakfast.

Healthy Breakfast

Wednesday I started eating a lower calorie breakfast every morning. I was eating my usual Hostess apple pie and Nestles double chocolate milk at work every morning. I know not good. I'll eat yogurt and oatmeal or fruit and granola bar. I figured I cut my calorie count by 500 a day.

I did very well just eating three meals a day. I succeeded!! It true it does take 21 days to change a habit. Now I have to keep it up for the rest of my life. I only lost 3 ounce. I wasn't planning on losing any weight because I was still eating a lot during my three meals a day. But I should now loose a little weight now that I've cut the 500 calories a day out.

Three Meals A Day

September 1, 2010
Eating only three times a day. I find I have more control this way. So far its working. I have a bad habits of eating all day!! It takes time to change habits. One month at a time.

I'm In Control of Any Outcome

Remember..... I'm in control in how I handle things. Nobody can control my emotions but me. I'm in controlled in how I handle the outcome in any situation. This is what I have to keep in mind when I'm at work. That place just consumes me, the people especially. Just do my job and mind my own business. Its a job, not a place to have friends. Besides who can I trust there? Nobody. Just do my job and come home. Nobody needs to know my business.


Today I start back to work after a very nice vacation. I went to Cal Poly and visited my sister inlaw and brother inlaw. They are so very nice and we enjoyed spending our time with them. Went to Sacramento, and went camping up at Pinecrest. My husband and I are going back to Pinecrest in September for our annivery. It's actually really romantic up there with just the two of us.

A New Start

Starting over, I deleted all my past post for a new beginning. I really don't dislike my body. I'm not super fat, I'm just over weight. I want to take the year starting today with a new healthy start. Starting today August 24, 2010. I'll try to write down my feelings and start eating less and moving more. I'm tired of diets, I'm 45 years old and I finally figured it out I can't diet. Its not my personality to be tied down to a food plan. I'm going to blow up my yoga ball and sit at the computer instead of my chair, this a start.
