…are just easier than others. And this was a pretty easy day. I managed to stay 100 calories below my 1200 limit, got some time in on the stair stepper, and got all my water in + some.

I made a “lettuce slaw” for a snack this evening by slicing lettuce into fairly thin strips (rather than tearing off chunks), adding some finely chopped green onion and grated carrot, topped with 1 T. of fat-free Miracle Whip. It was delicious, filling AND only has about 20 calories per bowl. It’s a great alternative to chocolate chip cookies!:winking:

Oh!  I also meant to add this.  I was doing up the supper dishes and noted how my back and shoulders weren’t killing me, as they usually do when I’m in that position for long.  I seemed to be standing…straighter, or something.  Hubby said, you’re standing closer to the sink, that’s why.  And when I thought about it, I was!  Because…I’ve lost 2.5″ off my waist!  And that allows me to stand closer to the sink, I guess. :)  That’s another inch off my waist in a week!  Now THAT’s motivation!!
