Soda & Bread

I've really cut back my soda intake and have limited myself to having one glass with my meals.  However, sometimes we'll eat out and share a large Coke and I find myself drinking more than my small glass.  So, to try and help the scale go down I decided that I really need to cut that regular soda out completely right now.  I don't really care for too much diet, but if I seriously feel that I need soda with my meal, then I'll drink diet.

This isn't going to be easy, because some meals are just better with a regular Pepsi.  However, it's one small change that I just feel I need to make now.  I'll probably end up drinking water with meals.  I'll let you know. 

I'm also going to cut back on my breads and starches.  I tried that today by deciding not to have mashed potatoes with my chicken.  I'll also make sure that if I need to have  sandwich I make myself use the 100% whole wheat bread I've been buying.  

These are my new small food goals that I've added and I'm hoping they will make a difference in my weight loss attempts.  

Little Changes

Today we had KFC for lunch and decided to go for the bucket of grilled chicken instead of the fried chicken.  It was sooooo good!  Just as juicy inside, but without the fried coating outside.  

I also decided to opt out of eating mashed potatoes and instead had a good serving of cole slaw with one chicken breast and a biscuit.  The biscuit was my splurge.  :)  I also ordered a diet pepsi instead of regular soda.  

They aren't big changes, but little changes that will add up to big results in the future.  I was satisfied and knew that I ate a lot less calories than the last time we had KFC!
