doing homework
Thursday, February 14th 2008
I am learning that every successful dieter has to do homework in order to guarantee that the pounds will come off and stay off. There has to be some head knowledge involved in this endeavor. So, today, I took my pen and notebook with me when I went grocery shopping on order that I could do some comparison in food values for myself. A while back another Cker had writer in her blog about extra lean ground beef being better than ground turkey. I couldn't quite believe that for myself, so I had t...What I learned from other blogers about myself

I had such good plans yesterday. My food diary was perfectly planned right down to the last calorie. I was even adjusting well to the circumstances of the day, until the afternoon hit. ( see yesterday's blog to see what was going on and why my day had been so hectic ). Then it hit, one, two, low blow sugars in a row, headaches, muscle tensions, and of course hunger without any spare calories left to quench the flame. I had to eat something, that was a given.

Sunday, February 10th 2008
My husband and I were talking this morning about setting goals and rewards for losing weight. I told him I didn't have a material goal like wanted clothes, going on a trip, or doing something special every time I lost so much weight. I honestly couldn't think of anything I wanted to set up th help motivate me to lose weight. I then went on to tell him I just wanted to feel better, maybe get off some medication I'm on, and have the kids be proud of me ( and him ). Then he pointed out those were...
