My Journey: Part Seven...I think!

Well, I have made a few minor changed over the last little bit since I gained 5 pounds back even though I was still exercising. I am introducing that nasty four letter word that really should be a swear word in every language on the planet...DIET!!! Let's just say that I have good days (when I get enough sleep) and I have bad days (pretty much every Thursday when I don't really get to sleep after my night shift). I pretty much eat either oatmeal or yogurt/granola for breakfast instead of joining the kids with pancakes or waffles. For lunch, I am trying to do the light thing with veggies, boiled eggs, salads, etc. Then, for dinner, I join the family. It goes really well (lost 4 pounds) until we have leftovers. I am the type that absolutely hates to waste food. When we had leftovers before, I would eat them for lunch. I have been trying to not have as many leftovers, or have "leftover" dinners to cover that, but sometimes my lunch still consists of them since we have so many...so kill me! Hopefully this will get me back on the right weight loss plan with my exercising, just don't mention the word "diet" to me since I absolutely hate that word!
