I had a pretty good day today. I woke up early and did 100 steps on the treadmill. I had my grandbabies all day, so didn't have time for much. Had a bowl of fiber 1 cereal with 2% milk(I usually use skim, but my son bought 2% and I didn't want it to waste). for lunch I had some store bought tamales, salad, and cranberry juice. I didn't finish all of the tamales because they weren't that good. snacked on a few whole wheat cookies and had a ham and cheese sancwich on sprouted grain bread for dinner. I think I will have a glass of juice to take my meds with before bedtime. I didn't count calories, but I'm pretty satisfied with the portion control. This morning I started to reach for my usual large bowl, then stopped and got a smaller bowl, so I was proud of myself for starting to become aware that I can eat smaller portions. A month ago I would not only have used a larger bowl but would have gone back for seconds. Still don't see the scale moving much, but I believe it will in time. I'm really tired so don't know if I will do the treadmill tonight, maybe just lift weights. Maybe I'll just do like 50 steps or something. I hate to start with the excuses.  Anyway, thank you all for being so supportive. Love you all.
