Quote of the month

I love this quote, "If you go on doing as you've always done, you'll go on getting what you've always got."

So true!  I have kept my goal of staying under my calorie count for 7 days now.  Feels good!  The part that I have failed on is snacking on only fruits, nuts, veggies.  I keep eating sweets.  Valentine chocolates, cookies, whatever the kids have.  sigh.
  It seems silly to me that I am half in and half out, so I decided today that for the next 4 weeks I am going treat free.  This is going to be a huge challenge, but one I am up for.  No artificial sweetner either.  Sam taught me years ago that artificial sweetner will make your body crave sugar.  What happens is our body thinks it is getting sugar because of the sweet taste in our mouth.  When it doesn't get it, it will crave it.  We drink Crystal Light around here.  I usually have one glass with dinner. 
So, no chocolate, candy, pudding, crystal light, anything of that nature until March 15th. 

I posted my goal on the fridge with a number for each day I accomplish my goal.  It feels awesome to mark off the day when I do it!
