Hello all. I don't really have my day planned yet, but here's the start and I'll edit for additions later. Actually, I'm a terrible meal planner and thinking this through is helping me some - but I still need to work on it. A saying I've heard goes something like "Failure to plan is planning to lose".
(Okay so I came back after lunch and have already made major edits - working on that planning thing and then sticking to it)

No, Carmen, I've already learned you can't do this program without the restroom! You really need that key!
Diane - the planning is a new thing for me as well. I am finding that it helps me because I know what I have to look forward to. At first, I thought I would be obsessing about it all day, but actually it has helped me relax. Of course, that is if I stick to the plan! But, I'm finding that, more often than not, I do.
Plus, I'm learning so much from all ya'l are doing!

**Picked up Jillian's book, reading it, think its great! I am revisiting the importance of journaling as a whole, not necessarily just the food journal. I am an emotional eater, and I need to get to the bottom of this issue and try to understand why I eat what I eat when I go off plan.

***Wasn't really hungry for breakfast, never am. But I need to quit skipping this meal. I decided to have the coffee, which curbs my appetite. This way, hopefully I will be ahead of the curve, with the problem being that I will have too many circles left at the end of the day, rather than too much day left at the end of my circles.

This weekend was not a good one for me. I need to reexamine my goals, keeping it honest, and do my diet thing. No chick is an island, true, but I must not forget that I am solely responsible for my health and well being.
Mary - yes I have seen her answers to the questions. She is awesome. That is one of the main reasons I bought the book. Plus I was reading on that thread that the "Self" portion of the book is amazing. And it truly is. A lot of it should be common sense, but you know what they say about common sense: It ain't common because everybody ain't got it! But Jillian is so attentive and surprisingly kind. A total one eighty from the beginning of the show, hunh?
Wednesday 10/12
But, I'm finding that, more often than not, I do.
Got my key today!
(P,S)
