Biggest Loser!!!!

Okay, it's not me (yet) but I am talking about the show. I had it in the DVR since Richard was gone on a business trip and we watched it last night. I am always SO inspired by that show and I sincerely wish I had had more time between meetings to work out today because I had all kinds of drive for a good workout. As it was, it was a good 40 minutes, and I walked Vega for 40 minutes this morning and did my housework and everything.

I also forgot part of my take-to-work food today and, inspired by someone else who is shunning junk food and saving the money for charity, I refused to buy anything to fill the void. Know what I realized at the end of the day? I was hungry, but not famished. I had had enough. Sure, I needed a snack the minute I got home, but I was able to add a couple of glasses of wine to my evening and still have a good calorie count day.

Part of it, I believe is that I am eating less meat. I am aiming for 3 meatless lunches and 2 meatless dinners a week. Not always easy given that Richard is a meat-and-potatoes farm boy. But I have gotten over the need to have both of us eat the same thing.

So tomorrow is one week, I have already learned a lot, and hope it will push me into the coming weeks, and translates into new, better eating habits. I do want to lose the weight....but I need to get better about things even afterward....or this is all for not.
