Yay! My fight against arch enemies croutons and late night snacking is working! I`m sure a couple of kilos doesn`t make that much of a difference in how I actually look, but it is amazing how much thinner I feel just by eating healthy and knowing that I`m losing weight! My goal is to tick this goal off by next friday, and then start working on the next two.

2 kilos is not that much after all. I think I should be able to do this by getting some more exercise, and fighting my 2 arch enemies:
-late night snacking.
-croutons.
When I lost about 50 pounds a while ago, one of the most important things I did was not eating after 8 pm. But now I have fallen into the habit of eating in the evening again, which is terrible for my weight. And then there are the croutons. We have a salad bar for lunch at work. And they make the most incredible yummy croutons. Which are ofcourse more or less boiled in oil. I always intend to take just a few, and end up having croutons with some salad on top. Must get some self discipline at the lunchtable!

I need to get my act together on this goal! I lost a lot of weight last year and the year before. And I have kept most of it off, but still, the kilos have started creeping back on. I`m about 5 kilos above what I would like to weigh now. 5 kilos is no disaster in itself, and my weight is well within the healthy BMI range. but I fear the weight will keep creeping back on, so slowly that I don`t get worried enough to react.
I just had a friend over to watch a movie. I had bought crisps and chocolate chip cookies and ate, well, more like a golden retriever than a spa guest, definitely. She didn`t touch any of it until halfway through the movie, when she asked if we could share one cookie, because she didn`t want to eat the whole thing. These are small cookies!
I`m now feeling stuffed and disgusting.
I think it has a lot to do with lack of exercise really. When I go to the gym several times a week like I used to, I feel healthy and it is somehow easier to resist junkfood. But I can`t afford a gym mebership at the moment, or the dogsitter expenses to get to the gym. And I can`t go jogging with Agatha because of her back. So I don`t work out. I can do a bit of aerobic and strength training at home though. I don`t really like it much, so I keep putting it off, but I have to start working on that, seriously.
