Welcome to my blog. I cannot say it will always be positive nor will it always be happy but it is life. God does not give us an guarantees in life except that He will love us, provide for us and take care of us. My life has taken turns I would never have anticipated but through God's grace and love I continue on my journey, one step at a time.

February 11

Today was much better I am happy to say!

I drank 65 oz. of water, ate 3 servings of veggies and went to the gym...treadmill, 30 minutes, 1.74 miles, did not eat after 8 PM

Here is what I ate today:
tiny piece of breakfast casserole
carrots
baking powder biscuit
Best Life Barilla pasta with mushrooms, broccoli, olive oil, parm cheese, chicken and a little mozzarella cheese
small coffee with 1% milk and 1/2 tablespoon sugar
Diet Pepsi

I know I did not eat enough today because I am hungry. It was a busy day. I will do better tomorrow. I did turn down chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!

February 8 Weigh In

I gained 2 pounds this week. It was a rough week. AF was here and was terrible. I did not go to the gym.

February 4 - Struggling

I am here to admit I am having a difficult time right now. Over the weekend I did not eat that great but it could have been a lot worse. Today I was not good, no breakfast, very little water, mac and cheese for lunch and bread and butter with my soup for dinner. There is a brownie left and I am thinking about eating that too. I also did not go to the gym because I am still very stuffy from the allergy/asthma attack I had last night. I was also exhausted from being up way too late watching post Super Bowl stuff with Dustin. I am not giving up (in the past when the getting got tough I would bow out because I would feel like it was worthless but not now!). I probably will not go to the gym tomorrow night either because I have a Book Talk I am leading at our local teacher center and will not get out for there until 5:30-6:00. I know I will do better but wanted to post my struggle.
