I did great on food today and got in 100 oz of water!
And one hour of exercise!

Keep up the good job all of you and Penny what an inspiration you are.

I failed miserably today. I had to see a new Dr. today and they had an emergency case before me, so I had to wait awhile to be seen. I was hungry and the Drs. office was in a town aways from where I live, so I pulled into fast food and ordered a not so healthy mexican fast food meal. Got gas in the car then came home.

I did a couple of loads of laundry because I haven't felt well and let the laundry, shopping, housework... slide for a few days. Then since I didn't go shopping all that we had in the house for a somewhat balanced meal were breakfast foods. I had polsa kielbasa, scrambled eggs and toast with jam. I was on the go so much that I didn't drink hardly any water. Usually, I drink a minimum of 64 oz. a day. I feel so bloated right now.

Tomorrow, I will start anew.

Just a note to say how great I think it is that you are posting your food. It has been proven time and time again that people that write down what they eat lose more weight than those who do not.
