Progress...Two Weeks

So, it only took me two weeks but I had my first on point day! It felt good (like this just might be possible). So in light of that I wanted to note things what are working:

• I think I have CUT my afternoon candy habit! I haven't eaten candy at work for 2 weeks! NOW THAT IS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! Boo to the friggin yow! I mean I don't even like chocolate and candy like I used to but I started working at my current job with all the kids and candy bowls that my sweet tooth reemerged...literally. I'm happy I've cut this out for dental reasons more than health! Ouch! So what have I been doing...something I've heard before and finally decided to try...I went to Walgreens and got some $1 dried dates and figs and a $3 can of unsalted roasted peanuts. I pack a little plastic container and boo yow. I don't even need that much because the dam dried fruit is so sweet you only need like 2-3 of each, and I actually....hold the presses...


• GOT OUT MY FOOD SCALE! Yes I did, and actually MEASURED my peanuts lol. 2 ozs to be exact. And when you point it. it seems like a lot but for a couple of days I've only eaten half of that.


• I AM STILL JOUNRALING! Sometimes I forget things but I am holding fast to my journaling motto "Journaling...I fuckin' hate you, so I will point and go before I catch a case". LOL. Like I love that WW keeps all of your user created shit no matter how many times you come to the site. Meaning I have a lot of my saved low fat recipes but now the points are all wrong. When I start compiling my recipes for my cookbook I will have to redo those....

Yes I want to release a cookbook. I've been thinking about releasing a cookbook for at least a year. I mean I love cooking and eating good food. That is definitely something I have learned is that to cut down on eating just to eat...I only cook and eat good shit! Like this steaming bowl of Earl's Supa Spicy Chili Mac I'm letting cool next to the laptop because I mistakenly put the microwave on like 30 minutes instead of 3 lol (I caught it around 3:36 lol). I want to have a lot of "everyday" recipes like Hungrygirl does, like food everybody likes...like Chili Mac and pineapple upside down cake (currently in the oven) but how to do it WITHOUT buying a ton of specialty products or sacrificing taste. I'm proof! I just have to MOVE MY ASS and the weight comes off. Well that's why I have this blog and a plan! Oh since I've done a few blogs now please don't mistake the hard words I use against myself as self deprecation it's more like tough talk to pump me up not tear me down! I'm not crying with a glass of wine in hand (yet...cause yall know that day's a comin, we all have em lol).
