Week 4 - Goal: Eating after 8 pm limited to 2 evenings/week.

I wasn't sure it was realistic to go from eating every evening to no evenings. I've decided to do this as an experiment. I wonder how I'll feel if I don't eat in the evenings. I'm not sure I'm actually hungry when I eat then, or if it's just that I have the points so I eat something.

Next weight goal is 20 lbs. My reward will be to buy something new, clothing wise. Then it will be my 10% - 28 lbs. Reward - new winter jacket. Then 35 lbs. Reward - pedicure. I want to make this last one 40 lbs - but I'm not entirely sure I will reach that before the Jamaica trip. And I need a pedicure before the trip.

Week 3 - well, week 3 ends tomorrow - I'm falling behind!

Goal: Drink at least 3 glasses of water a day, over and above other liquids.

This has not gone well. I've had 1 - 2 glasses on a good day, and I think there have been some days I haven't had any water. Maybe I'll keep this goal for next week as well.

I've been wondering about developing a habit of not eating after a certain time, like 8 pm or something. I am often having popcorn in the evenings - because I can. But many times I am aware that I'm not hungry for the popcorn; I'm just having it because I can.

Last night I decided not to have anything after supper. I was hungry around 10 pm. That made me a little uncomfortable for awhile and I felt a little unhappy about my decision to not eat for the evening. But at some point I forgot about it so I guess it wasn't that big of a deal.

Loss: 1 lb.

Yay! I've reached my first goal of 10 lbs. I'm getting a manicure.
