Roller-coaster
my emotions today were up and down all day!! I attribute this to adjusting to my lifestyle changes. Lucky for me my son was in school for much of the day, and didn't have to see me!

I was shocked at just how many commercials there are. I felt better about myself. Last night I got on the floor and did 4 sit-ups. Tonight I will do four more…

My first day of reality
I am coming around the corner of my first day of reality. Up to now, a defense mechanism has allowed me to view myself in a skewed fashion. I was smacked in my double-chinned face with a heaping dose of reality, and instead of running in the other direction and comforting myself with a Big Mac, I decided to embrace a…
