Figuring it out all over Again.

I went to my last Christmas party tonight. I felt good going into it. I had a very low point snack after the meeting, and a turkey sandwich for lunch. PLEEEENTY of points left over for tonight. All I had there was a bit of dip with crackers. No cookies. No chips. Only diet soda, and 4, maybe 5 meatballs. I was tempted by the cookie tray, but passed. My belly was not feeling well.

I was a bit bloated when I got home. Nothing seemed to help. So now I am trying to think about what happened to my day to "ruin" it food-wise. Or unwise. And I thought. Thought some more. I did well. Much better than I would have in the past. So, what went wrong.

I GOT IT!!!!

It hit me like a ton of bricks. I should have thought of this first, as I do with you. I haven't been writing it down today. DER. I am not sure what the scale would read if I stepped on, but I can feel that it would not look good right now.

This is what I have vowed for the rest of this week. I am going to write it down, just like I did last week, and yesterday. Only for the next 6 days, I am going to write it down as if you were going to read it. Not just my chicken scratch, shorthand notes. Really write it down, like with measurements and everything.

I know that this is going to take a lot of effort on my part. A conscientious effort. But I also know that it will be totally worth it on Saturday when I weigh in. After all, I have to be true to myself. I am doing this for me. (ok, and I have that little bet with my aide. I can't let her beat me.) Ultimately, it is about me, not her.

Tomorrow is a new day. And I can't wait to get it started.
