OK, it might be working after all.

I just wanted to follow up on my "disaster" post a couple of weeks back. Since then, I feel that I'm back on track; eating both during the week and on weekends has been good.
Best of all, I've been sticking to my new running plan without having to change my schedule to include a snack or at least a glass of milk between meals, the way I thought I might. Keep in mind that when I say "running plan" I actually mean Couch-to-5K, a program that has you make a gradual transition from walking to running. I'm taking it even slower than the program suggests. But in the past whenever I've tried to do this plan I've actually gained weight by giving in to my increased hunger between meals. Some of my meals now are a bit larger, but most have stayed the same and some are even smaller.
Best of all, my weight is down. Last night my friend the massage therapist (who gives me the "friend rate", hurrah for friends) even mentioned during my massage that she could tell I was losing weight. And she ought to know!
I just wanted to let you all know that my earlier message of doom and gloom was highly premature.
