What a crazy week. Been pretty good with my meals until today . Trainer says I have too much fat and should only eat natural foods, no spreads, or processed cheeses. He says to be careful with the dairy. Geez, I thought I was doing good to use lo-fat cheeses and those laughing cow wedges! Everyone has to have some cheese. Life is a drag without cheese! Heehee.

Started my "Get Fit" challenge at the gym this week. My eating hasn't been good, though. The calories don't count when you hide in the bathroom and eat, do they?Hmm.... I'm going to have to be real good because my trainer wants my food log. Uh Oh, I'm in trouble now. My motivation is nil. I say I want to do this, but everyday I find some reason to overeat.
