A Night Cap

I have once again I have recharged my willpower bank and am back on the straight and narrow of dieting.  Not that I won't fall off the perpetual wagon, but I am much more stable than before.  For me, it is more of options than cravings.  If there is only junk around, I tend to eat junk.  If I have a selection, I will chose the healthier option.

I must make a confession.  My downfall is dessert. I love all things sweet.  I have learned that I must fore go the sweet treats and only have those on occasion.  I must however satisfy that sweet tooth that is always  trying to persuade me to fall off the wagon.  I have tried not to bake sweets, and if I do, they must go and live somewhere else.  I find it therapeutic to bake, but need to find another hobby to channel that relaxing feeling.  Maybe I can talk myself into painting and get the inside of my home repainted!

I burned myself out on yogurt a few years ago. I can hardly bring myself to eat the "light" versions of American yogurt.  They are just lacking something.  I have found that I love Greek yogurt.  The thicker texture is less like slime and seems to have a better flavor.  Right now my favorite is vanilla with a little of my failed plum preserves drizzled on top.  I knew I could do something with those few jars that never set-up.  See, even I have days when things aren't perfect!

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
