Things are pretty quiet, settling into my new food routine...yesterday I had bread for the first time since I started this...I was afraid to buy my fav Dave's Killer Bread since I knew it would be "calling" to me...so just got a loaf of Oroweat 100% whole wheat....which I plan to dry and make into bread crumbs......I had made chicken salad and, as long as  I had bread, made an open faced melt sandwich....it was very good. And, I have to admit, knowing that loaf of bread was out there was tempting. I found myself at 10 pm thinking "hmmm, peanut butter on toast??"...but resisted. Instead, I drank a bottle of Bret's Trop-a-Rocka Diet Snapple which I save for when I want something special..

It wasn't really that hard to resist the bread. And, more interestingly, I am not obsessing over it today...the loaf of bread is just sitting on the counter....not calling to me at all!! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks on the new program. It takes 3 weeks for new habits to become ingrained and I am definitely feeling that. It helps to have no real cravings. I still find myself wanting to EAT but I know that's coming from emotions and not hunger.

Settling into my new habits...now for the long haul....seems do-able and I'm doing OK....
