I almost baked cookies yesterday.  I thought to myself ~ six cookies ~ three each.  I abandoned that idea and ate one ball of cookie dough, returning the rest to the freezer.  I don't know how long I can hold out.

Here's the thing.... I did not weigh this morning.  Yesterday, after supper, Buck asked if I wanted to go for ice cream.  ICE CREAM!?!  Of course I went!  So I give myself a swift kick in the tush and move on.  Hopefully by next Monday I will have outdone myself by eating well and exercising EVERY DAY.
Til then.... Ta

Sunday morning ~ a new beginning.  Hebrews 12:1
"let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

Confession time ~ I weighed this morning and I have found the two pounds I lost.  This is what happens when you go to eat with family and have dessert (strawberry shortcake) and grab a fast food lunch (hotdog and Coke float) and DON'T get on the treadmill ALL week!
I also suffer from stress eating.... there, I said it.  I eat when I'm troubled, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I have nothing to do....
HELP ME!!

I am happy to report I lost two pounds since last Monday.  I have to keep reminding myself, my body did not get to this weight overnight and it will not all suddenly drop off my body.
I would like to be a runner but Magras Don't Run so I will be a walker ~ jogger ~ swimmer.  I try to get in the pool every day ~ true, sometimes it is because it is 100 degrees and I've been working in the yard but while I'm in there cooling off I also swim and walk.
My sister, Wanda, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  I would love to do a "run" for her.  October is breast cancer awareness month so I may look into that.


That's it for today ....

Good morning out there!
Thought I would visit my blog to see how long it's been since I was here.  Too long, right??  I think I will try blogging on Mondays just to get back in the habit.  There may be pictures ~ maybe not, we'll see.
I would like to be confident enough to post a photo of myself ~ not going to happen.  I am starting a new diet today and you know how people do the "before" photo?  Let's just say I am definitely a BEFORE. 
That's it for today ~ see you next Monday (hopefully with a weight LOSS)
