    Goldk - as far as 'changing my thinking', I'm trying to get back to a place where my health is a top priority again (weightloss being a big part of that). It has been a super stressful year for lots of reasons and I really let that get to me ... a lot of my bad eating and not getting in enough exercise is because I've felt like I just can't handle everything at once, and it's easier not to try. But things are looking up, and feeling crappy because I've gained so much weight back isn't helping anything. So it's time to stop my pity-party and start concentrating on getting healthier - mind and body.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I did manage to ignore the muffins in the break room
    What would I have done differently? for some reason I made cinnamon rolls and had two of them at bedtime, along with some cereal - I didn't need that. I also got in no exercise - should have done that instead of eating more.
    What is today's personal goals? Walking, tracking
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc. )? No
    Mood today? ok

    Sun - 2 mile walk - DONE
    Mon - 45 min. step at the Y - DONE

    Thanks! My year has sucked too :-( My 13 year old daughter is well... 13...hating everyone and everything (except her phone and friends)... LOL and not having my mom around is taking a toll on me too. The grieving process is long. I try to make good choices. I try to get my workouts in but here I am pretty much where I started in 2009. I understand when you say you can't handle everything at once. I know that some day we will not have to think about this and we will just adapt to a new healthy lifestyle - with limited pizza, wings, beer, cheese, bread, sweets, etc... LOL There is no quick fix. Hang in there. You are not alone. We are going to figure this out <3

    Shirley61~ i'm so sorry to hear about your friend. may God bless her transition with comfort and peace. and may He provide healing for you and her loved ones.

    GoldK~ i'm sorry you've had a bad year. know that you're not alone in your journey. we're all here to support one another. it's those little goals you meet each week that makes the biggest difference in the end. focus on those until you see the bigger changes beginning to show.

    Cprati~ i'm so glad to hear that your in laws are coming to help you with your fence. i'll bet it'll be good as new in no time.
