Down .2 again today. Very slow, but that is fine with me because I am eating what I want and not feeling deprived. If I want something, I will just fit it into my plan.

Very frigid day here in the Midwest. It is almost noon and we have 1 deg. Brrr
Weighed today and am down 9# since January 1 am doing my calorie counting, so I am happy. I have had a few days that weren't the best, but I am definitely eating pretty much what I want. Of course, I try to eat a balanced meal; but, I am not always good at that. That is my goal, anyway. :)
Today's Menu:

For my homemade ice cream I used 1 scoop caramel Quest protein powder, 1/3 cup dry milk powder, water, sweetener, vanilla, ice cubes. Made in my little blender and froze. As my indulgent, topping was a 70 calorie Fiber One bar and 1 Tablespoon of strawberry glaze. I put it in the freezer, but it was thick right out of my blender. Just partially froze before I ate it. Made a lot and was really yummy.
Hope everyone has a good day and stays warm.

I will be eating pretty much what I want only within my calorie range. That is the only thing that I can stick to lately. I have tried many ways of eating that are too restrictive and they just don't work for me anymore.
If anyone wants to do this with me that will be great. Please message me.
