Coming up for Air

Well, I totally fell off the wagon a while back. I went back and forth with the same 2-3 lb (gaining/losing). As of now, I'm back down to where I was when I started binging. So, that's good news. I want to lose 10 lb by the end of the year. I know that will be tough. But, it's a little less than a pound a week. I know I can do it.

The hardest thing for me is nighttime. I always have serious cravings at night. My doctor told me that if I HAVE to eat something after 8pm, to eat something high in protein (low carbs). So, the last few nights I've eaten a strip of deli turkey and that's actually helped quite a bit. The sooner I can re-train my brain into thinking it needs those carbs/sugars right before bed, the better, right?

Another thing I've added to the mix is white tea in the morning. It has less calories and more antioxidents.

Here's to hoping I can hang on until the end of the year (barring any "bad days" I have for Turkey day or Christmas).
