Still Working At It

No Chocolate for two days; yea!  That's not saying it is forever though :)  Tuesday I was craving a dessert so I made my famous banana ice cream.  I mash two ripe bananas on a dinner plate and stick it in the freezer.  Then, to eat, I thaw them for about 20 seconds in the microwave and dish them up in 2 bowls. I add a few chopped walnuts or pecans, a little drizzle of chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.  It satisfied and seemed a little on the sweet side since I haven't eaten anything like that for awhile. 
Yesterday and today went great-today we had steel-cut oatmeal for breakfast with lo-carb toast and a veggie omelet for lunch with another piece of toast (peanut butter and a little fruit-only jelly). For a snack this morning I had a handful of mixed nuts and an apricot. 
Dinner is going to be salmon, sweet potato, and asparagus. Might have the banana ice cream again.  We skipped swimming this morning-first time we elected not to go.  We just needed a break and felt like a quiet, slow morning. 
My clothes are starting to feel a little different especially around the waist. Even though that is a slow go, I feel good about being fit and eating right.
