A surprising reason not to snack

My dog is a chowhound (after my own heart) and always wants (and usually gets) some of my food.  Well, he hurt himself and had to have surgery yesterday.  He is fine but has to take the food thing a bit slowly. 

So last night, I realized that if I ate anything, he was going to want some and not be able to have it.  Not fair to the poor boy.  So no snacks for me.  Now if I can only keep up the resolve that he doesn't need the snacks even on his best days, maybe I can get rid of them for me as well.  We both have a bit of winter weight we need to get off!

My eating still isn't where I want it to be, but I am being consistent about getting my 3 hours of exercise in per week--and usually a bit more.

Sounds like you're hanging in there Sally. And what a good excuse to cut out the snacks... for the sake of man's best friend! Good on you! Take care of yourself and your pup... (killing two birds with one stone as the old saying goes!). 

Cheers!

Wow whatever diversion it takes to keep us on track is all we need. good job and remember only one day at a time--exercising is half the battle
