Hi all! I had a really good day--eating was great, work out was hard. However, in an hour or so I am headed out to meet a friend--once school starts up we get together every week for a late night chat. The only place open is a 24 hour eating establishment. I hate it. And weigh in is tomorrow so I really can't eat anything--hopefully that will help me. So we'll see how I handle this one--EVERY WEEK!

Preschool orientation was tons of fun, actually. I was happy to drop the kids off for a bit--hee ,hee. They had fun and we got all the info--we start after Labor Day.

Erin--I just read that willpower can NOT be a part of your daily life because it won't get you through. So I guess that means just making changes slowly--add a fruit/veggie to every meal. Increase the water. Make portions smaller on sweets/treats. These are all tips that I am trying to live out--not doing it perfectly but it's been good. I think it's going to be hard for a time but I want to be able to live with this way of life so it will be worth it. I think the calorie counting is really helpful, too. I have actually been making time for it. You can do this--don't give up!!!
