Lately I have found myself building on small victories even though I haven't lost much weight lately. The victories have been in the mental mind games that I have been winning. These will eventually lead to success in the weight loss area I am certain. Until they do, I am going to keep up with what I have discovered to be a very good practice, that is, talking myself out of eating in bad situations. I have come up with a few situations and how I talk myself out of eating that I would like to sh...Monday, June 23rd 2008
I had a good weekend except for one oops in the food area. Sunday, my hubby and I were doing really well. We ate our typical breakfasts and packed veggie snacks in a cooler to take to the movie after church since we would be eating late. I had a sack full of cut up veggies and coffee during the Get Smart movie an enjoyed them throughly. Then, after the movie we ran an errand and were ready for lunch. I wanted to go to Luby's so we could get some veggies and he wanted the new Japanese place we h...Friday, June 20th 2008

It may seem slow to some of you veterans, but to this short legged asthma prone back aching lady it was the highlight of my year. I had this beaming smile all across my face that must have been evident as I stopped exercising that afternoon. Some people must have thought I had gas. Inside there was this joy like no other. to experience something I had not in such a long time was like, well I just don't have...Tuesday, June 17th 2008
In my town we have one of those fancy grocery stores that sells gourmet every things. It's a foodie's heaven. Whole Foods is for those who need the organic stuff and Central Market is for all the other stuff you can't find there plus more including high dollar Prime Meats. Well, they also have a lot of tasty food to sample. I usually do good in not partaking in the offerings, but today I was, well munchy. So, when I got home I wondered how I was going to log my extra calories, especially since ...
