ANOTHER MONTH, ANOTHER START
I started off good the first day of January but one week and I got back off track. But tomorrow is a new month and I am making a new start. I will weigh in the morning and start anew. I have just retired and I feel like I am actually starting a new life. I feel really good about retiring. I want to get myself in shape mentally, physically and spiritually. I have lots of things I want to do. This month I will be 66 years old and I want to make the best of the rest of my life whether it is 1 day, 1 year or 20 more years. We keep thinking "one day" we are going to do this or that and all at once "one day" has come and gone while we have been living day by day. So I am hoping to change a lot of my bad habits and get my body in shape. I hope you come along and support me or join me in this endeavor.

SATURDAY - LOST 0 - TOTAL LOST 5 POUNDS
At least I have not gained 5 pounds this week. I have decided Saturday will be my "free day" where I won't worry about my diet and enjoy my day out with my sister. Surely I can have one day a week that I don't think diet all day.
Anyway we went to Ruby Tuesdays and had a buy one get one free coupon. So we got the sirloin steak with a baked potato and salad bar. It was good. There is a girl that goes to my church that was our waitress and I told her June was my sister and she said "is she your twin?" So I don't know whether to feel bad that I look as old as her or for her to feel good that she looks as young as me or for us both to feel good that we look younger than we are or we both feel bad that we look older than we are. After all there is 10 years difference in our age. For both our sakes I am just going to think we both look very young and leave it at that.
Its going to be the Cracker Barrel tomorrow because I told James last Sunday that was the only place he was happy eating so we just wouldn't waste our time going any where else. I can always find something good at the Cracker Barrel.

FRIDAY - LOST 0 - TOTAL LOST 5 POUNDS
Still not down any today but I guess 5 pounds for the week is pretty good. It is slower than usual this time but I am only 1 pound away from my goal for Valentine Day so I am not going to get discouraged.
One week of January already gone. Just think if a person only lost 5 pounds a month for the year that would be a total of 60 pounds about twice what I want to lose. Maybe slower is better. After all "tomorrow is another day".

WEDNESDAY - LOST 1/2 FOR A TOTAL OF 5 POUNDS
I was down 1/2 pound this morning making a total of 5 pounds.
It has been a bad day of eating today. I feel a little down and out and school is a pain. Hopefully it won't be long. Only 16 days left now.
Sure wish it would snow.

TUESDAY - LOST 0 - TOTAL POUNDS LOST 4.5
Still no loss today. I don't really know what the problem is. But I am trying to hang in there. It was back to school for me today.
For breakfast I had my usual 90 calorie cottage cheese and pinapple, 2 slices of bacon 70 for a total of 160 for breakfast.
For lunch I had a WW Dinner for 280 calories.
For supper James had made a pot of soup off of Joy Bauer's Life Soup recipe. He had to make a few changes for things that we didn't have like using brocooli instead of cauliflower. But it was real good. I asked him to estimate how many calorie he thought a cup of it had and he said 150 so I am going for 200 for a cup. I also had two slices of ww 40 calorie bread for 80 and 1 Tbs. Jiff Peanut Butter. On saturday I wrote that it had 90 calories per TBs but it has 95, I also ate a medium apple for 70 calories so that made me a total of 445 for supper.
Breakfast 160, lunch 280, dinner 445 for a total of 885 calories.
