Rooting for the Underdog

Yeah, I'm watching football, cheering for the underdog. Glad to see the 49ers win, hoping Denver can pull it out too!

Alright! Yummy breakfast today, another muffin and banana, and it kept me full until dinnertime. Nate's parents took us out tonight, which was a challenge. But I didn't want to say no and spoil some family time. First, I only drank water, yay! No soda, no adult beverage, and it felt great! I also got a club sandwich on wheat bread, and I only ate half of it, instead of forcing myself to eat it all. Oh, and I cheated with a couple fries too. (Only a couple, I promise!) I'm also thinking about a Snickers as a treat tonight - I haven't had a dessert in a while, and I've already got a day full of yummy meals and very healthy snacks for tomorrow, plus they say if you're going to choose a candy bar you should choose a Snickers because it has peanuts in it, yum protein!

Here's another link I'd like to leave you with. I originally shared it on Facebook just before starting this blog, so some of you might have seen it already, but I think it's worth sharing again. Best Ways to Stop Your Food Cravings. One that I'd like to add myself is to simply drink a full glass of water when you think you're feeling hungry. The key is to really figure out if your body needs food, or if your brain just thinks it wants food. In the past, I gave in to a lot of the wanting part, and you add that on top of the needing, and you end up 40 pounds heavier than you want to be.

Something I'd like to try... if anyone out there is actually reading this and you have any serious questions for me, I want to hear from you. It would give me a good direction to go when I'm crafting these posts, so I don't just bore you with updates about what I eat. You can post them in the comments sections, or on my Facebook, and I'll try to answer every single one. It can be a question for me personally (about my struggles, my motivation, etc.) or it can be a question about being healthy and physical fitness, which would also help guide my research throughout this process. Is there something you've always wanted to know about calorie-counting? Or the best way to craft a work out? Ask me, and I'll do my best to figure it out.

Keep an eye out tomorrow to see what I made for lunch tomorrow! Until then...
