TIP OF THE DAY: Bad eating habits are created over a lifetime, but they can be changed. As we all know, bad habits of any kind are hard to break and it takes a great deal of perseverance and dedication to overcome them. Successful "losers" consistently make a choice to replace bad habits with healthy ones.
I was SO tired today that when I came home after working 2 hrs of overtime. I took a so called nap, I went to bed at 6 and got up at 8. But I really needed it today!! So granted I did not get on the treadmill because if I get on right after I eat I feel sick. So I like to wait about an hour after eating before getting a workout in. By the time we ate it was 9:30p so I did not get any treadmill time in today.
Today I put my pedometer on my shoe and surprisingly I did not lose it! and it worked SO much better there!! I walked 9,172 steps today!! WOO HOO!!! :) And today was not that big of a walking day, I spent most of my time standing in patients rooms and such.
Yesterday I forgot to mention that I tried some plain Greek yogurt. I put some strawberries in it and granola but it was just not for me. I was thinking about putting in some sugar but that would defeat the purpose of trying to keep it healthy. I just wanted to let you all know that if this would be something that you would like, it is MUCH healthier then those other flavored yogurts. But I did not care for it.
Well, on to what I ate;
BREAKFAST:
1 English muffin-2 points
1 Tbs peanut butter-2 points
1 cup vanilla yogurt-2 points
1/4 cup granola-1 point
LUNCH:
1/2 cup of a corn and pea mix-1 point
1 lean cuisine- 5 points
SNACK:
4 Cashews- 1 point
DINNER:
Salad with ranch dressing (on the side to dip my fork in), croutons and cheese-6 points
2 pancakes with 1 Tbs butter and 3 Tbs. syrup-8 points.
Total points: 28 out of 31 points for the day.
I, yet again, did not do so good on the water intake. I drank 5 glasses of water today. I will try to get my 6th one in tonight before I fall asleep.
Tomorrow is weight in and I BETTER lose some weight this week because I cannot go another week with a gain!! I do wish that I had made more time for the treadmill this week, but I think that walking that much at work is also a work out, but I just don't get any points back for it. Or maybe I should???
Have a great Saturday everyone, and I will let you all know how I did when I get home tomorrow.

Here's the trick with the Greek yogurt - don't buy the plain, buy the flavored kind. At Jewel, I buy the brand called Chobani. It is really good! It comes in fat-free Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Blueberry. Put some low-fat, organic granola in and you've got an awesome, yummy treat that is really filling. I love that Greek yogurt is so thick, it's what makes it filling. And no added artificial sugars or anything yucky. Remember - stay away from that high fructose corn syrup!
