A picture is worth a thousand words....but I'll explain anyway!
It all started several weeks ago. I need to loose a few (more) pounds (again) so I decided I would join friends in their daily walk around. We walk three miles each day.....and at a brisk pace. However, I soon discovered that after a couple of times around I would have to stop to "wet" as my grandmother use to say. This was beginning to be disruptive so I started having my coffee earlier which didn't help that much.....so I cut my intake down to two cups each morning....which didn't help that much either.
So now what? Okay, my original goal was to loose a few pounds. While I haven't gained in these three weeks, I haven't lost either. In my heart, I know portion control would help, but PC is so hard for me to deal with....and I'm still experiencing the wetting problem mid-walk, so here's what I decided to do.....drink my two cups of coffee, rinse my cup then use it for my cereal. Cereal in a cup is less cereal than in a bowl which means I use less milk, which means less 'wetting.' So, there you have it: Portion Control + Wetting Control = a happy walk around. That's been working for two days now. I'll let you know when my ten pounds are lost!
Ah, yes, measuring. *sigh* That does make a difference, doesn't it.... :\
