The difference between now and before is that even when I'm 'splurging' I'm much more aware of what I'm eating and I try to balance it out or at least control the amount. Last night I got dinner at KFC and took it home to eat. Before I ate, I looked online at what I had gotten and let that guide what I ate. I only ate 1/2 the buscuit and potato wedges and 2 of the 3 chicken strips. Before I would have just eaten it all because it was there.

Here's my food journal for today:
Breakfast: balance bar, banana
Lunch: 2 wedges laughing cow, 1 serving wheat thins
6 ounces Yoplait light blackberry yogurt
1 c. fruit salad
Snack: Balance bar
Dinner: Peanut chicken with Pad Thai noodles (dinner a'fare)
Dessert: 1/2 canteloupe, 3 mint things, single serving bag of light popcorn
Water: 60 ounces

Exercise: Slo-robics video
