Need to stick to the plan yet i love to eat

Well today was a good day - went to an interesting discussion, met with a friend for lunch and then went for a nice swim. Im trying to swim 3 times per week now, 3o minutes per time.
In terms of healthy eating, i was doing good until about 7pm when i got a really bad craving for chips and ended up buying a 150g bag and eating the whole thing! yikes!
Oh well, I have written it down and will stick OP tommorow
I have also figured out, i really like to chew, the sensation is nice.. So i now like to chew a piece of gum after dinner instead of mindless snacking.. now i need to go out and buy lots of nice gum!

Have a great night

Fall is moving in

Well today im sitting on my butt doing reading and researching for my thesis...
Other than that, i hope to get out and enjoy the cool fall air and go to the market to get some fresh veggies..
I love this time of year , the caucophony of colourful leaves and the way the clouds turn that intense payne's grey
Also hoping to go for a long walk today too

Gossip girls and pizza whirls

Well I just finished watching the latest episode of GG and it was fabulous!
In other news, Day three of my stricter eating regimen is going well -- i think the key to weight loss is all about portion control... today i had some pizza and chocolate ,, so tommorow and sunday I will eat light and then hope for a good weigh in on tuesday..
I went for a swim today and took a sneak peak at the scale - down 1.5 lbs! (I know its kind of early but im hoping for a simliar result next week)
Im thinking of rewards for my weight loss goals.. any ideas?
Also, this weekend is going to be a challenge for me, i always find weekends the hardest -- but this weekend i will try and get lots of excercise and go to the market to get fresh veggies.. So readers, what is your most challenging time of the week to eat healthy? Any tips?
Im hoping to start crocheting something nice soon for the fall --

Beautiful day

Well today marks my re-committment to healthy eating and being. I have always struggled with overeating and hoping this blog will help distract me and perhaps my readers can contribute points, successes struggles etc.
I like to think of everything as an adventure, and thus this one is one with weight. As a nurse once told me, everyone struggles with the battle of the bulge. Well the battle is on!
In other news, im heading to a wine and cheese tonight and have budgeted for one glass of wine -
wish me luck
