Read an article this week that said that CC Sabathia has lost 25 pounds not only because of the physical therapy and rehab he's doing after knee surgery but also because he gave up his daily box of Captain Crunch cereal!   A box of cereal a day seems like so much but I could put (and probably still could) a sizeable dent into a box of Cocoa Puffs.  Cocoa Puffs have always been a weakness (even though I can remember clearly Grandpa Huetig asking me years ago why I was eating a bowl of rabbit turds -- even THAT didn't faze me!).   Peanut butter is another problem food for me because I like it so much and can eat a lot of it in a short amount of time.  I know that it's more of a fat/oil rather than a viable source of protein and I shouldn't/can't rely on it, but it's so easy!!  I still make an extra half a peanut butter sandwich in the morning to keep in my purse for the day.  It's better than hitting the drive-thru window of a fast food place if I get hungry and if you happen to forget it's there and find it three days later, it may be smashed but it's still edible (!) and it sure smells a heck-of-a-lot better than a turkey sandwich!  It's the "by-the-spoonfuls" that have to be eliminated.  (since I don't buy chocolate chips anymore the temptation to mix them together isn't there but still...)   "Healthy choices, healthy choices, healthy choices" - in eating, snacking, activities - this is the mantra for today and this week. Barb P.S.  The plan is go to the second spin class tonight. (and I'm putting it in writing!)
