The Fall?

Before I begin my usual post, I would like to comment on the number of people at Kroger this morning. I saw a woman with four gallons of milk and another with three loaves of bread. Seriously, people, we are not going to be cut of from civilization for the next month! It's just a snow storm. I promise by Wednesday you will be able to make it to Kroger. Calm yourself....

Now, onto my favorite subject- dieting! It SUCKS.....and it is hard. Trying to avoid fatty foods, carbs, increase protein, and balance a gym schedule....I want to pull my hair out while I rock back and forth in the fetal position. And then I want to eat an entire bag of potato chips...

Seriously, it isn't THAT bad, but it is tough to maintain a diet. I am trying to lower the portion size and cut the snacking with fatty, gross food. But actually cutting carbs is hard. Like Chinese arithmetic hard. I finally caved today and bought some bread (whole wheat, 35 calories per slice) and had a grilled cheese with soup for lunch. With the increase in working out, I feel like decreasing my carb intake is not the best idea, so how can I make things work for me, yet still be healthy? Well, limiting my carbohydrate intake to a better level, but not completely limiting them. Maintaining the gym time (this past week, I went 5 days!), and increasing the healthy snacks ( apple with peanut butter- Better n' Peanut Butter is my fav).

And most importantly, telling myself I AM WORTH IT! Seriously...it is time to believe it!
