GOAL: 158 or less by December 1! Today's weight 168.7, 11-7-09, Saturday.


I put a sign on my fridge this morning -- "No eating after 7:30. (Go brush your teeth!" I'm hoping not to get the temporary amnesia I tend to get on a nightly basis, with this reminder.

Yesterday, though, was much better than other days. I ate at night, but not that much. And it immediately affected the scale this morning, which I'm pleased about. Now I just need to keep the scale going in the right direction.

Interestingly, I added something to my diet that seems to help me with my appetite, especially at night. I started drinking coffee, twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I generally HATE coffee. (My mind thinks "chocolate," and I taste something else. LOL!) But I found this hazelnut flavored coffee that I like. I was worried about too much caffeine, but I looked it up, and two cups a day is actually considered good for you. So that seems to be working and taking the edge off the hunger. I just hope it doesn't dissipate over time, with my body needing more caffeine to achieve the same effect. But right now, it's working, and I get a good dose of milk with it as well.



My daily 5:

My son is dutifully doing his homework without my nudging, and on a Saturday!

My house is clean.

It's a gorgeous day, clear, with a very comfortable temperature.

I lost a pound!

I love my hubby!

Debbra, you can definitely hit your goal by Dec. 1st! I need to have a cut off on my eating as well, once I get a clean cut schedule. Are you doing a specific workout plan? Since you're doing WW does that mean you have to reduce your points? Thx again for all the support! :)

No specific plan. Just treadmill, walking. And I don't really need to reduce points. I just need to stay on points. I was gaining weights from frequent pig-outs. If I stay on point, I'll lose for sure. That's my goal. The biggest change for me in trying to stop the night time eating. And you're welcome for the support! :) Thanks you, too!

Your Daily 5 sounds like the perfect day to me, too! Don't you just love it when your children do homework independently? And to have a clean house and perfect weather as well! My kind of day.

I used to use flavored coffees as my special treat, too. I had to get decaf for the evening, though. I would go to a coffee shop and browse all the different flavors. I love your daily 5 - number 5 is always on my list. Number 2 - never! :/

Love your 5! Clean house, that is a great goal for me. :) Your goal can be hit in Dec especially if you keep up this hard work.
