Darn Thanksgiving.

Day Two:

Foods: Bowl of Wheat Chex, a cup of tea, and two tortillas with cream cheese. For dinner it's salmon and baked potatoes later.

Actually, the tea made my day. I made it this morning, and it lasted through about eleven o'clock. I just boiled some water and dumped it in a Thermos to take with me on the bus. I liked it for two reasons: 1.) no calories, or still very few if you slightly sweeten it. 2.) by drinking tea pretty much all morning, I wasn't really hungry for lunch, and ate less. Seriously, tea is weirdly filling. I love it way more than I should.

And guess what?!?!?!

I just weighed myself. Exactly 174.0. And while this is not a weight I want to be at, I honestly thought it would be more than that after my Thanksgivings. The bad thing is that aboout a month ago I started graphing my weight so visually see where I was in relation to where I should be to get to 140 on time, and this is the first time I've made a mark that was above my goal line. Darn Thanksgiving!

Other thing I'm starting to think: Warm food and drink is more filling, even when it's exactly the same food as if it were cold. Does anyone else seem to think this too? I bet a science teacher would tell me it's because warm atoms are more spread apart than cold atoms, so maybe that's why it's more filling. Whatever it is, I like the idea.

So,
Today's Weight: 174.0
I'm going to get back on track with my goal line!!!

Good Luck to All -- I'd like to hear your ideas and stories!
