ice cream is the # 1 enemy

I am busy, busy, busy. With school, work, and all the other little things that go on in my life. I feel like I have a neverending list of things to do, including a long list of people I need to call. I think I get a little more stressed out when it is my week to work. I work one week (7 days in a row) and then I have the next week off. I feel like I dont get alot accomplished the week that I work, and then once my week is over I have a long list of things I need to do, like loads and loads of laundry, catch up on homework, emails, phone calls, bills, ect.... I need a vacation.
Anyways so I have been trying to diet lately and it is actually going really well. It's not a specific diet that I am on but just trying to consume a lot less calories, like somewhere around 1,300 a day, trying to work out at least five days a week, and also really eating really healthy, organic things. I think what has helped me the past couple weeks is 1. I am taking a nutrition class in school and really learning about what is good for you to eat and 2. I have a nutrition project due and you have to write down exactly what you eat for two weeks in a row. The project made me realize how much easier it is to eat healthy if you really plan out what you are eating for the day. And I have been doing really well.....except for one thing. I've been eating like high fiber cereal with soy milk and oj for breakfast, a turkey and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread with lettuce, tomato and mustard, some kind of fruit, and nonfat yogurt for lunch, and for dinner I usually have brown rice, some type of vegetable and a small serving of meat or I'll just eat a lean cuisine. And I've really been working out well lately. I try to do 45-an hour of cardio 5 times a week. And then I'll do weights 2 or 3 times a week. I've been working out great everyday, and really sticking to my meal plan. My only downfall is that I am totally addicted to sweets, and I will cap of my great day of eating well and working out with a bowl of ice cream and some cookies and some candy (especially now during halloween). The worst is when I get off of work at 10 pm I will come home and eat ice cream or something else equally as bad. And I am totally in this dilemma because I love, love, love anything sweet and I dont want to, and I need to figure out how I can cut them from my diet. Maybe hypnosis...hmm........any suggestions??? I guess realistically I'd like to lose 15 pounds...and I think I've lost 2 pounds so far, but I know I would lose the weight alot faster if I could just stay away from the darn sweets. darn. ANYWAYS, what I want to know is how does everyone feel about Christmas music on Nov. 1st. Yep, thats right, the day after Halloween I turn on the radio....and what do I hear....Deck the halls with Boughs of Holly. Seriously. I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, my favorite time of year, but that is definitly crossing the line. And crossing into thanksgiving's teritory. And speaking of holidays....it is definitly a hard time to watch what you are eating. :( boo...why cant I just eat whatever I want and not have to worry about it...like my boyfriend??? So not fair!!!
