It’s been a very interesting 7 days.

First, I’ve been away from home for most of the past week.  On one hand, that’s been a good thing, because I’ve managed to avoid my old habits.  On the other, it’s been a little difficult to focus on food choice.

So, instead of worrying all that much about “what” I was eating, I tried to focus on the “amount” I was eating.  All-in-all, I think I did a pretty good job.

There is one thing that I really need to get better at – I like to eat in the car.  I don’t know why, but it just feels good to eat a candy bar and drink a soda when I’m traveling.  The past few days, I’ve substituted a piece of fruit for the candy bar, and water for the soda.  Honestly, though, I really should just stop eating in the car, period.  Baby steps.

I’ll have weigh-in data tomorrow morning.  Check back to see how the first week went.
