I need my chai latte in the mornings. Maybe not EVERY SINGLE DAY, but at least monday, wednesday and maybe friday. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I just adore that flavor, and it puts on a smile on my face to start my day. Some people HATE chai, some people LOVE it. I'm a chai-lover.

I always drink a medium. Today I wrote down all the things I plan on eating (and drinking) this day. I am below my calorie limit, so it's fine. Fat is not too bad either. But I get a little over with carbs and sodium. I am not worrying too much about sodium because I want to get used to control my fat, calories and carbs first, and then I'll take care of sodium. Baby steps... baby steps. Anyway. I just realized that my carb intake would be great without that morning chai I drank. So I'm thinking on quitting it, but slowly. I know that if I stop having my chai latte just like that, I will fail again and go back. That's why I've decided to have it the same days I always do, but a small instead of a medium. I've done it some days, but now I want to make it part of my routine: small instead of medium. Then, I'll only drink it twice a week, then once... and then I'll have it just once in a while.

I sound like a smoker trying to quit, right? And yes.. perhaps I am. Because FOR ME, that cup of vanilla chai latte in the morning makes me smile, and makes me feel nice enjoying that sweet odd taste. I enjoy SO much drinking it while starting my work.

But I'll make this change. SMALL!! not medium. I need strength to fight the temptation, but no matter what day it is, no matter the mood I have every morning... I will fight it, and have a small instead of a medium.

Wish you all a successful week.

Why is it SO hard to get back in track after a week or a while that you didn't (or couldn't) take care? Last week I got sick and didn't exercise and my mind didn't want to worry about balanced meals and low fat, and low sugar, and low everything. So I ate what I found, what I could, and didn't worry at all.

This week I'm great. I went to the gym monday, tuesday, yesterday, and I plan to go today too. I might take the kick boxing class, or go swimming... we'll see.

But when it comes to food... GOD! I can't get a good day! I haven't been THAT bad, but I've had some foods or drinks that are not in the weight-loss list. Chai latte in the morning... a bagel with cream the other morning... sugary cereal in the night... cookies... so many things. I don't overeat all day long, but I haven't done it well enough. It is just SO hard!

I think I can still lose some weight, but I wish I could lose 10 kilos for my birthday on February 8th, and if I can't beat this, I don't think I'll make it.

The worst part comes at night. I come home tired after the whole work day and exhausted from the gym. SO I get home insanely hungry! and the last thing I want to do is stand in front of my stove cooking for 30, even 15 minutes! I want to eat right there, right now! And that's why many times I end up eating anything and not what I planned on eating. Do you have ideas for that situation? a high protein, low carb, easy, quick meal after a long, exhausting day of work and exercise? I live in Mexico, and it is not used to have heavy meals at dinner (lunch is the heavy meal of the day), so anything light and easy is welcome.

Ok. Gotta go back to work.

wish you success.
