OPoCCtGP's wisdom nuggets (food wise, life foolish!)

Soup - One meal a day should be soup. Dinner, preferably. So that I breakfast like a king, lunch like a commoner and dine like a pauper!
Tea - Replace mid-afternoon snack with fruit and tea.
Water - Reach for water first, munchies second.
Taste - Eat something until it tastes good, and then stop (exhibit A - gulab jamun binging on Nov 20th) and put the rest away. Do not be lazy to do this.
Stop - Do not eat after 8:30 pm. Just say No. Brush your teeth, go to bed, read a book, do a craft. Just don't eat.
Visit - Visit rules everyday. :)

Good luck to me!

Yoo Hoo!

Worked out last night for 30 minutes.. after like AGES! I guess I haven't pushed myself hard enough because I don't feel sore. I will try again tonight!

This is our strict week, remember girls! :)
