Well it's been a hectic two weeks for me. All this running around has resulted in a meer one pound loss, but I'll take it. I weighed in yesterday at 152.6! Still not my lowest since I started this challenge, but with the set backs I've had it's nice to see the scale falling once again. This training my body and mind to eat healthier is starting to finally work. My cravings for sweets is dwindling and I rarely go for seconds on anything. I'm beginning to be able to go longer on smaller portions before feeling hunger, though I am trying to avoid the hunger feeling by eating small healthy snacks throughout the day. My willpower is showing its face once again.

Here's a tip I have for eating out. If you don't feel like cooking....find someone else who does. If you are close with a neighbor or have family near by, suggest that you come to visit once a week for a meal and chat. My husband and I do this every week. We go to my in-laws for dinner and just catch up and they get to spend some time with their grandson. About once or twice a month they come to our house. It's a nice time to get together and helps with portion control and the costs of food, since going to a restraunt for even the 3 of us is more than picking up a few extra things at the grocery store to feed a couple extra mouths.
