getting motivated...

Okay...I haven't been exactly dropping the pounds lately. I haven't gained, so that's good. But I am getting motivated to get beyond this limbo, and start losing again. Yesterday I had a few chocolates, and a few squares of that evil Godiva bar with salted toffee...and a piece of pumpkin pie with just made whipped cream. I only sampled the mashed potatoes with our ham dinner, and was careful the rest of the day...

So anyways, this morning I woke up telling myself that today I would be back on track, on strict track. It did not help that I woke up with a sore throat and feeling lousy...then I saw that pumpkin pie sitting there on the table. I took Rosie out into the falling snow, we tromped all the way down the road, and I thought about that pumkin pie. I reasoned that I could have a piece for breakfast, it wouldn't be that bad. I reasoned that I could just have a little taste with my breakfast. Then I reminded myself that eating yummy things is so temporary, and that I need to get my satisfaction from being faithful to this new positive life-change, or as I like to say, my DIET. So the pie is still there, and I have not had any today. I just had my oatmeal with crunchy peanutbutter, and blueberries. And coffee.

And now it is time to get busy, maybe I will write about our Christmas later.
