Small steps.

Today was a good eating day. Good thing because yesterday wasn’t. Pretty stressful around here.

Finally today we have hot water again, thanks to a new hot water heater (even though the ‘old’ one was less than 4 months old.) There are those days that just aren’t good, and laughing at it isn’t an option.
But, today is a new day.

I got a new toy to play with, it’s actually a product I am reviewing, and it takes a ‘small step’ approach to weight loss. Just a little tease and I’ll post the review in a few days after I try to break it LOL! (J/K – it’s actually quite fun).

I need to extra focus on eating. Starting to let little snacks and stuff sneak in. I think I may have to ban granola from the house for a while. I tend to nibble on it. I hate it when a green light food becomes a red light food and I have to remove it from the premises for awhile. Removing the granola means getting rid of one of my very favorite brekkies for a bit (greek yogurt, honey, strawberries, granola). Maybe the change will be good.
I guess I am kind of like the warden, and certain foods have to go into solitary confinement when they can’t get along in the general population (aka my normal foods).

So, I am trying to think of something new for breakfast a couple days a week. No cereal, as that is problematic for me to munch on. I already do oatmeal in my protein pancakes.
I am thinking of making an egg sandwich using the Arnold sandwich thins and some cheese. Yep – that sounds pretty good!
