feeling good!

I've had three days of eating "healthy". I decided to take a break, not from healthy living, but from obsessing over Weightwatchers. I'm still going to weigh in every Saturday until the fall as I've pre paid for the summer pass, however I found (and I've found in the past) that when I get really into weightwatchers I find myself starting to obsess over what is going in my mouth.

I start thinking about food 24/7, as I eat I wonder when I will be eating next and what I will be eating next. It throws me off if I have planned 8 points for supper and then am really hungry for the day, eat more and end up with 4 points left for supper.

Instead the past 3 days I have been focused on healthy eating, and eating every few hours, and I think I've done really quite well with it. I haven't felt guilty, I haven't been hungry and I'm feeling great. (Despite the fact that I laid down at 5:00 today and slept till 9:00!! Ops!) So much for getting to the gym tonight!
