Tomorrow is a new day...with no mistakes in it...yet!

Ok folks, it's the weekend again, and we all know that for some reason the weekends are harder to be healthy than during the week. Here are two ways that can help manage situations like the birthday party we will be going to for Ian.

1.) Eat very healthy breakfast & lunch with minimal snacking, keeping the calorie intake to a bare minimum, and then at the party eat what you want, but only eat 1 plate full, and stop eating when you are no longer hungry, and try not to just nosh all night.

2.) Eat normal breakfast and lunch, normal snacking, and eat only calorie friendly foods at the party.

I think the key to either one is to first be hungry before you eat anything, and to really make sure you aren't eating just to have something to do with your hands. Something that really helps me to stop snacking is to pop a piece of gum into my mouth, and that usually quells the munchies feeling that I seem to have after I eat something. I think the second key is to have a glass of water in between glasses of wine or beer, or your favorite alcoholic beverage. This makes sure that your aren't drinking these high calorie drinks because you are thirsty, and therefore drink them too fast and frequent.

I'm also including a blog link (healthystrides.blogspot.com) that Ronnie emailed me about after seeing this story on Yahoo News. I found it really interesting and inspirational. We can use all of the inspiration we can get, right!

I also have to say that the start of my week was not very good, I ate a little too much, and just didn't have the energy to do a whole lot of exercise. I was able to do something every day, but you know when you have those "blah" days, and just can't find the inspiration to healthy? That's what was going on, but Wednesday I decided to make the last three days count, and am hoping to be down another pound tomorrow when I weigh in.

Bon Apetite mon Amie!
