going well

I've been really focusing on my goal to lose weight and it's going well. Last night Sandra and I survived a family birthday party. We both turned down the icecream and had just a taste of the cheesecake! I cooked out of my lowfat cookbook last night. It was great but I don't know if I'll post that recipe because it required quite a few ingredients...speaking of which Cody and I spent a LONG time at the grocery store the other night trying to buy the healthy ingredients we need for the next meals we plan to make. Turns out I can find frozen pizza and french fries with my eyes closed, but the health stuff is a lot harder to find since I've never paid any attention to it. I've been running on a regular basis and being more active all together. My new trick is to chew a piece of gum after every meal to get a sweet taste in my mouth so I won't look around for any dessert. I should have a pretty good number to turn in this week so I can't wait until weigh in!
