Not perfect

So I did pretty well yesterday except when I got to my final exam at my tax course (after eating my healthy sandwich for dinner). They had a buffet of like the worst things ever. So I gave in and had 2 small pieces (they really were small because they cut them up for lots of people). So I did give into that temptation. Today I woke up earlier (6:30) but (and maybe this is just an excuse) my cold has come back on me and my lungs have been killing me so I decided not to exercise. So I am not quite there yet but I have to say that I am doing better. I actually had a head start though because I have been trying to work on my eating habits the past couple of weeks but then I would splurge and erase all my work. So a week from today I was 174.1 lbs. Today I stepped on the scale and I am 171.8! Now the trick is to keep doing that and not to erase all my work.

Which then brings me to Thanksgiving. I am going to tell you all right now, I am not holding back on Thanksgiving. It is the one day a year that I really care about. I'm sorry but I am not ready to give that up. So obviously I am going to need to be super good for the next week to prepare for it. I'm not to big on pies and stuff so that is good. However, I love the turkey and the potatoes and the cranberry sauce and stuffing and green bean casserole, etc. Its not like we have Thanksgiving everyday. So thats my excuse and I am sticking to it! I promise to try to be good every other day though :)

Now I just need to learn to resist the everyday temptations. And to wake up earlier and workout a few times a week. The waking up thing needs to be done everyday. And no Jane! I refuse to wake up at 4:30. Someone would need to pay me a lot of money to wake up that early in the morning!

Oh yeah, and Dianna you would be proud of me. I thought of you as I was taking on another responsibility yesterday and I changed my mind and turned it over to Misty. Yes Misty, you, the church secretary. Ha ha! No, its not that bad.

So anyway, slowly but surely I will get there. I know I can't do it over night but I am trying to at least do better than yesterday. Like they say, "I may not be where I want to be but thank God I'm not where I was yesterday."
