Victories: Exercising at 6 am.

Defeats: Having mousse for a mid-morning snack. I wasn't even hungry, but I had it because the kids were having it. I shouldn't have had 2 muffins at lunch. They're healthy muffins, but I really didn't need it. And I shouldn't have had 2 MORE muffins while making dinner.

Observations: It felt so good, once I was awake, to know that I was already working on my exercise. Where food is concerned, I tried something different today by eating a larger than normal breakfast to see if it would keep the snack attacks at bay. It worked pretty well. You wouldn't think it by looking at what I ate. My overeating today had nothing to do with hunger. And I let the kid who was the most helpful today pick the dessert. Luckily that recipe makes a small cake. I wouldn't call that a defeat, having the cake. But considering I also had 4 muffins today? Not the best food day. Betty Lou is so much better at food than me.
