\"healthysnacks\"<\/a>At 7:00 this evening, I had only 50 calories left for my day. \u00a0That’s not good, because I usually have about 500 left at that time of day. \u00a0But I was busy at 7:00, so it really wasn’t a big deal. \u00a0The problem came around 10:00 pm, at which time I am accustomed to sitting down to a nice, late supper. \u00a0I knew it was going to happen, and sure enough, it did.<\/p>\n

There are several good things to eat in our house right now. \u00a0We have zucchini bread, Fritoes and bean dip, pimento cheese and Wheat Thins, Sunchips,… to name a few. \u00a0When I have the calories to spare, I Iike to include a couple of things off that list, but tonight I had nothing!! \u00a0And I was seriously considering that zucchini bread. \u00a0After all, i was probably going to blow it, anyway! \u00a0Then I thought about how I have stuck my neck out pretty far on this whole calorie counting thing, and that gave me a little desire to try harder. \u00a0I guess accountability is a good thing!<\/p>\n

Instead of blowing it, I decided to work on this Calorie Crusader email, which is kind of like journaling, it helps me a lot! \u00a0I usually write it on Friday mornings, but I thought now would be a good time to get busy doing something, since I am not extremely tired at the moment.<\/p>\n

First, I looked over my notes that I have accumulated throughout the week. \u00a0Then, I sat down at my computer with a bottle of cold water and 3 slices of Oscar Meyer boiled ham. That’s 70 calories worth of ham. \u00a0And the reason is,\u00a0I have noticed that pure protein not only makes me feel better when I am so hungry that I feel kind of sick, but it \u00a0also kills unwanted cravings. \u00a0So I ate the ham, \u00a0and I am sipping on the water as I write this. \u00a0I can still have fruits and veges tonight too, because I never count those. \u00a0I now \u00a0feel like\u00a0I am out of the woods!! \u00a0I was just having a pity party, I guess.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t believe how many times in the past I have “chosen the zucchini bread”. \u00a0And then the chips and everything else would follow, because, “oh well”! \u00a0That’s the wrong attitude and I call it a “diet mentality”. \u00a0Fighting through this evening has given me a fresh focus on my goal. \u00a0And my goal is, to make a permanent place for calorie counting in my life! \u00a0So it’s good to be learning some tricks that work.<\/p>\n
