It's been too long

After completing my first successful week, we got the news that John lost his job. That was 2 weeks ago and during that time I let life get in the way of my goal. I am determined not to let that happen again. My goals should change my life and not the other way around.

So here is my first day back to food journaling. Not having made the best selections today, but journaling is my first step back in the right direction.

Ok, so I realize I did two of the things I am NOT supposed to do! I feel great after eating a good breakfast this morning, but then never ate again (really) until dinner. And instead of spreading it all though out the day I ended my day with a large dinner.

And it probably was not a good idea to go to the apple orchard and let my mom bring home apple pie!
