Today was another stressful day and while at CVS I found myself in the candy aisle gazing at shelves of chocolate. Although I was craving chocolate, I did look at the calorie content and decided even on the smaller bags where there were 2 - 3 servings that I wouldn't stop at one serving and so reluctantly bought only non-candy items. My weight loss has been slow and I don't want to sabotage my loss this week by indulging in non-nutritious food. My pedometer was at 9,483 this evening and instead of exercising I worked on a bedroom that I'm re-decorating. Scraping off a wallpaper border entailed climbing up and down a ladder and I'm sure I burned a few calories.
