Think Thin Thursday


This week was another great week for me! I have been making much better choices when it comes to snacking. If I want something crunchy, I eat an apple. Something sweet and chocolaty, I eat a Special K bar. I'm still only drinking water. Yay! The best part is that I am now down 5 pounds! It's a small step, but it is progress:)


This week's task involves breakfast. I eat the same breakfast everyday. Special K cereal with skim milk and a piece of fruit. It actually is very yummy! Giving up the heavy breakfast was easy and without all the coffee in the morning, I don't have that afternoon crash anymore:)



*********************************************
My goal for this week is to limit my portion sizes at meal time. No going back for seconds:( Good luck this week!

    You rock! You're doing so well and the no going back for seconds idea is really going to help. Now, if that would just work for me on pizza....

    Wow thats great.. keep it up. Heres some food for thought that might help with your portions that your looking to reduce.

    Have this in mind when you eat.

    Eat until you arent hungry anymore, instead of until you are full.

    You will be amazed at the difference this will make and the weight you will lose. You do this one thing and you can lose weight without even exercising.

    Good job Sandy! I am working on my portion sizes too. And especially NOT snacking as much. Between 3 & 5 pm in particular. Keep it up!

    Those are excellent goals. I bet a lot can be accomplished by portion control alone. Now if I could just do that consistently.

    I have an award for you here: http://mommayoungs-at-home.blogspot.com/2009/01/sisterhood-award.html

    I know about that afternoon crash... I've been seriously considering trying a switch to decaf (but it just doesn't taste the same).

    Congratulations on your progress!!! What a long way to come in such a short time - Great Job!

    I just wish I could get 5 pounds down! *sigh*
    I replaced pop with with water (I drank a TON of pop and everyone said if I stopped I'd drop pounds like nothing - DIDN'T HAPPEN,) joined a gym 2 months ago and have been watching my calorie intake...

    I seriosuly don't know what is wrong with me. I'm only 23 and I gained 50 pounds in the last 3 years.... at least the bright side is that i haven't gained anything since I stopped drinking pop!

    Keep up the work... 5 pounds is awesome!!! 5 more soon and 5 more after that...and before you know it - SKINNY!!!!
