Great willpower at your lunch today! We all know how tempting that "naughty stuff" can be when we are out of the (hopefully) healthy zone of home.

It's all about the choices...

Cassie, Pam, Mike, thank you for your encouragment! I'm sure it probably is water weight b/c it's impossible and my rings don't fit. Still, it's annoying. Maybe I am restricting my cal's too much, I'm trying to create about a 200-300 cal def as well but maybe my need are actually higher than they are. Well, I have always struggled w just mindlessly putting things in my mouth (up until about 5 years ago, I used to just sit down and eat entire bags of chips or cookies while reading/studying!)

Thank you so much Cassie! You are such an inspiration to me.

I am glad to leave 2010 behind although it is bittersweet. It was the toughest year of my entire life with not even a close second but it had its fair share of real inspiration, awe, and admiration. My dad was the bravest man I ever knew and I miss him... can't believe it's been 10 months already. Anyway, I know he would want me to look ahead and make the best of my life so I believe 2011 will be the year I reach my goal. I've reached others in the past so I can lick this one too!

As for the proposal, I have to work on that tomorrow because I am going in to work again today Boo! Working on a Saturday sucks and next weekend will be even worse.

To everyone here in the motivational thread: have a fantastic Saturday!!! Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

Been too busy to even do more than just log my food and exercise on the computer for a couple days. There has really been a lot of activity here. That's great! On the sleeping issue...sometimes a Tylenol PM works good for me. Alcohol is a no-no, I've found. Might help me get to sleep, but in a couple hours, I'm more awake than ever. Had a good healthy breakfast already this morning and that feels good to get me going for the day. Did find that only protein drinks for breakfast and lunch didn't work so hot this week. Makes me ravenous in the evening and I can't stop grazing. Jot that down to an experience that doesn't work. This next week will be different. It's all a learning process and what worked ten years ago sure doesn't work today. Isn't getting older wonderful? Have a super weekend everyone!!!
