Sigh...I'm already getting frustrated with my lack of will power. I'm still doing pretty well keeping up with my diet plan. It much harder than I though it would be to keep my fat intake around 40 g, but I'm doing well with the calorie counting. I've been having grapes, pretzels and honey nut cheerios for snacks. They satisfy my munchie craving without taking up too many calories or fat grams. I also took advantage of a new buddy's suggestion to try snack size chocolates. I bought a pack of fun size snickers and found that the little bar satisfied my craving for a desert and wasn't terribly high in fat.

But, I've only been on the treadmill one day this week. This has always been the hardest part of losing weight. I really think I need to try and get my exercise done as soon as I walk in the door from work. I can't ever get up early enough to exercise and if I wait until after dinner, I feel lethargic and can't get motivated to get up off the couch. I'm trying not to beat myself up over not following my exercise plan exactly. I'm trying to remember that this is a lengthy process and a lifestyle change and I can't expect to make all of these changes overnight. So, on the bright side, giving myself a pat on the back for continuing to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and keeping the calories low!
