Today's Thoughts:  My mood and motivation was uplifted today as I discovered I had finally lost some weight... it was enough to put a little spring into my step and motivate the juices again!  Why is it that we allow to be controlled by numbers on a scale!

Today's Summary:  Finally!!  I lost nearly two pounds!! I'm back in the right direction!!..  That in itself can either build a person up, or tear them down and make them cry like babies!! 

I will remain strong!  Stay positive... tomorrow is another day and I will continue to work harder!!!  Only difference now will be ... is doing it on the road and while visiting with friends and relatives!! Wish me luck!

Tomorrow Goal's:  Tomorrow should be interesting... This will be where nutrition and dieting skills will come in handy!  Forward! never straight!  

Cooking Tip of the Day:  This is more of a tip on surviving fast food when on a road trip.  Whether you are driving cross country in a Winnebago or in a small Chevy traveling just shy of eight hundred miles... you will inevitably have to stop where there's fast food.  Put on the brakes there sister... for breakfast I am so looking forward to a bowl of oatmeal at McDonald's. How can they possibly mess that up... well I'll let you know.

Health Tip of the Day: When on a road trip be sure to have at least a gallon of water in the vehicle... ideally there should be one gallon per person.    Make sure not to go too overboard on the water... more pit stops.

I am not a doctor or a dietitian, and am not promoting for you to follow "my 21-day challenge."  I do however advise you to consult your physician before exercise or dieting.  This is for my own personal gain (or loss) and not affiliated with wii in any way.  wii is not paying me for this.
