    I am no good at these things. I always tend to forget to log.
    Anyway - I can tell you gremlins have taken control. I am pulling hard but there are more of them and although I'm a healthy girl, I'm having difficulty in fighting them.
    Crazy little cretins made me fall yesterday and threw me off my game. Not sure what to do.

    I get comments all the time that I have such 'great willpower' or 'You're so good' and I'll be the first one to tell you that I'm not special and I don't have any secrets to success. It just comes down to really wanting it and making it a priority. Don't take huge goals on that you can't hit, move in baby steps.

    Here's a link to a blog I wrote last month:

    Hope this helps you!

    This weekend will be tough. A wedding, out of town guests... if I can wake up on Monday without a weight gain I will be satisfied.

    Spent the day at the hospital with my father-in-law. It was a pretty stressful day, fortunately not much time to eat.

    Cousin's wedding day. Awesome seafood bar, awesome dinner and awesome dessert room with signature martinis liberally sprinkled. Danced, had a good time and enjoyed life. 40 weeks to the next family wedding and 35 pounds to go.

    Yeah, well.

    So we are back on track and doing what we need to do. 40 weeks and counting!

    I am already back on track. Did my workout this morning and had a decent breakfast. If I get the workouts and water up to snuff this week it should get me going. I cannot seem to get the scale moving in the right direction but am confident that some planned changes that I will be implementing over the next couple of weeks will change that. The those gremlins can wipe those smirks off their faces!

    Great to hear! I've found that there isn't anyway I can expect to be perfect through all of this. So the best thing I can do when I falter is the get right back at it as soon as possible.

    Went out at 6am to do my bike ride and I had a flat. I started to go back in thinking of climbing back in bed. A little alarm went off in my head and said' "Hey, you still have two legs!" So my morning ride turned into a morning walk.

    Jimmy crack corn and I don't care! Had a great day out with the nephew. His utter delight at his first MLB game was priceless. He won't want to spend the day with his old auntie forever. I have to treasure these moments.
