It was a bit of a chilly day in Mont Tremblant today, but I spent the whole day outside walking around and shopping with my dogs.  My pedometer fell off my hip halfway through the day, but I estimate that I walked about 16,000 steps today, half of it was up hill.  

I started the day off with a pear/apple/pineapple/mango/banana/ yogurt juice, which was super yummy :)  For lunch I ate at La Diable in Mont Tremblant and while I had a burger and fries (I know, I know) I actually only ate half of the burger and half of the fries.  Normally I would have scarfed that food down in no time, as I am always the first one finished eating at every meal, but today I made a conscious effort to put my burger down between each bite.  I ate my fries with a fork rather than my fingers and I took the time to enjoy my surroundings, people watched, and had a conversation with hubby while I ate.  All of these combined managed to help slow me down.  And, while I didn't feel full, I did feel comfortably fed, which is a big deal for me.  

When leaving Mont Tremblant, my kid wanted to stop at the candy store and my hubby asked me to get him something, so I caved and bought strawberry marshmallows and chocolate covered cashews.  I had a couple of handfuls in the car (mindless eating grrrrrr!) but immediately felt sick to my stomach.  Again, normally I would have eaten the whole lot but I still have a bunch that are sitting in my freezer.  

The changes are starting to happen and MOST importantly I'm realizing them when they do happen.  My attitude towards food is starting to change and I like the way it's going.  When I step on that scale on Monday I may not be down in pounds, but that's okay.  It will happen in the next few weeks, especially if I continue to be conscious about my choices surrounding food.
