I'm 3/4 of the way through September and had lost 2 more pounds but gained back three!

I keep wondering what I'm doing differently and have determined EVERYTHING!

I stopped exercising, I stopped counting protein and calories, I started drinking high calorie libations, I started making excuses for eating cake and ice cream, blah, blah , blah...

Since my last blog I've enjoyed three family birthdays.

I've dealt with the death of family member.

I've learned new software at work.

I've sprained my ankle.

I've had house guests for three weeks.

I'm in the middle of a law suit.

All triggers to get be back to believing that food is a comfort not energy.

Today is a new day. I've said no the the banana bread and lemon cake at work. I've journaled what I've put in my mouth and plan to go for bike ride this evening.

Everyday is a new day and I plan to make this one better than yesterday.

Wish me luck as I haul this fat butt back on the wagon.

Ollie,

You can't change the past, but you can make the future what you want it to be. Good work on saying "no" to the sweets @ work. Enjoy your bike ride and eat your protein tonight.

You CAN do this.

The first step is acknowledging where you strayed...you will be back on track in no time!
