hard day!

I have had a very hard day. Don't know why but I know that I am very tired and have been all day. I didn't pack my lunch, so ate out and a salad at Wendy's is probably as many calories as a BIG MAC! Then I came home from work and just ate poorly...can't list it all! I know haven't had a day like this since the contest began. How do I feel now? Sad, mad and discouraged, but I know there is tomorrow, and that's what I am looking forward to...A new day...it will be better...,it has to be! I keep thinking of the song from "Annie" tomorrow, tomorrow I will eat better and not have sorrow tomorrow is another day.....! Please pray for me on Easter, yikes! Bye for now Patty.

Friday April 15th

Friday is here and I am feeling alittle apprehensive, because weekends are always hard for me to eat right. I really don't why....I guess its because everybody is eating around me and i am feeding my son Price ALOT!! He has a very good appetite and eats several times a day! I have had to try really hard not to join him and seriously not to eat whatever i am feeding him..OK DEEP BREATH NOW! Goooooooooooo bye for now Patty

WEDNESDAY April 13

Today I had some bad news about my taxes...oh boy we owe, so anyway we owe soooooooooooo much and my husband isn't even working. Stress?? Yes, but I didn;t overeat or even eat a candy bar! Boy I have come along way! I reasoned that eating something not good for me won't solve the problem, it will only make me gain weight and feel worse about myself and I have come to far along to have all that happen! So time marches on and I am still in the game. BYE for now Patty

Haven't blogged lately!

Haven't blogged lately, because I was alittle under the weather. Now it is not easy to workout or eat right when you are not feeling good, but I managed to atleast control my eating, so I felt good about that! My sinuses were so bad and my head ached for days, but thanks to antibiotics I feel much better now and went to the gym yesterday. I really missed it. So I am going forward hopefully will loose weight...Bye for now Patty
