a points-slave no more?

I've been pretty happy with my eating lately, and I haven't counted a damn thing. I'm getting better at eating when I'm hungry instead of just mindlessly shoving food into my face, and as a result I've realized that most of the time I don't really require a ton of food to be satisfied. Today, for example, my menu was as follows:

Breakfast: Peanut Butter Mojo bar. (9 am)
Lunch: A mini-pita pizza (a whole-wheat mini pita, a little sauce, and half a slice of soy cheese). (12 pm)
Snack: Two glasses of apple cider with butterscotch schnapps. (3 pm)
Dinner Whole-wheat rotini, broccoli, and peas with peanut sauce. (9 pm)

Minus the cider and schnapps, that's not a bad day. And I'm sorry, but that drink is so ridiculously delicious that I can't even feel bad. It's like drinking a caramel apple. So good.

My only form of exercise has been walking, but I've been doing a lot of it. So that's good too. I'll have to weigh in shortly and see how things are going. I almost hate to, though, because if I don't see progress I'll be discouraged. At least that's usually how things go. But here's hoping this time is different!

Walking is great! Every little bit helps.
