After my big loss last week, I don't seem to be making much progress. I really didn't get any exercise this week. The pushups/situps program worked for me, because I could squeeze them in wherever. I think not having them in my day has been bad for me. So, I started back on them today, with week three, day one of the situps program. It was pretty rough, I may have to go back to the week two workout, but we'll see.
I also did 3 runs up and down my stairs today. Pretty harsh, as my stairs are unusually steep. Felt good though.

Hard time staying on track today
Because I was out ALL day. Unplanned.
But I think I did pretty good. So far. I still, as of the snack of strawberries, have about a third of my daily points left.
Breakfast
12 oz coffee with raw sugar
Lunch
Carl's Junior Walnut Cranberry Apple Grilled Chicken Salad
The salad only seemed to make me hungrier, so I waited 20 minutes, then had:
A Low Carb Six Dollar Burger.
Snack
1.5 cup fresh strawberries
Dinner
2 slices wheat bread
6 oz turkey breast
1 oz pickles
12 tortilla chips
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups fresh fruit salad

A major change...
It occurred to me this morning, that I have undergone a significant change since last year, when I fist attempted to lose weight. It didn't happen then, but sometime between February and this morning, my attitude toward food has changed, and it has made all the difference.
I no longer look at food the same as I used to. It's no longer something I do to replace anything I am missing, as my main source of pleasure, or as a crutch for feeling down. Food has become, while enjoyable, merely something I do to fuel my body. I now find myself stopping to think about when I ate last, and it's in the manner of someone looking at a fuel gauge.
Don't get me wrong, if I miss a meal, I do get hungry, but I no longer find myself reaching for the pretzels, or going to the kitchen out of boredom as I once did. It makes all the difference. Last year, I lost a lot of weight with weight watchers, and did so quickly. However, each and every pound was a struggle. I would spend hours wishing I had more points to use, going to bed early to drown out thoughts of food, and generally being pretty miserable. This weight loss since February has been effortless in comparison.
Somewhere along this journey, I changed the way I look at and interact with food. I don't know how or why I did it, but I am glad I did.
