Day 13 ~ Think Positive!

Today's Thoughts:  UGH!! I feel like I have hit a brick wall!   I feel as if I am holding back.. When I'm not.  Not cheating... no sweets or chocolates... nothing!!!  I can't believe it!

Today I worked out for an hour in the morning - made sure I got it out of the way.  And then did more laundry and housework for an additional five hours.  It is almost 10:00pm and this is the first chance I have had to sit down- and I'm writing!

I don't know what to say... what has changed lately?  The only thing I can think of is that I have gotten busier and have not taken the time out to eat.  Today I missed lunch.  I am not cheating on my diet... and with the exception of yesterday, I have worked out every day.

Today's Summary:  I didn't gain a pound... but I still gained a little.  NOT HAPPY!!!  I know I am not reaching my goal in the amount of time I set out to ... one thing has changed... I'm not as young as I used to be!  
I am going to remain positive and not give up.  If anything, I have to be strong in the next couple of weeks... we will be visiting with out of town family and friends and you know what that means!?!  Food, food, food, desert, wine, food, food, appetizers, wine, food and more food...

I will remain strong!  Stay positive... tomorrow is another day and I will continue to work harder!!!  I am going to continue living, exercising and cooking healthy!

Tomorrow Goal's:  Tomorrow should be a great day... the last quiet day for a couple of weeks!  I will soak up time on my wii... and venge forward!,  

Cooking Tip of the Day:  For more flavor and less fat when cooking with chicken thighs... remove the skins and rinse the chicken.  Take a fork and stab each thigh several times on each side and place them in a gallon storage bag.  Prepare your favorite marinade inside the bag with the chicken, close the bag.  I like to let the chicken marinade at minimal from 9:00am for eight hours ... grill!

Health Tip of the Day: Staying positive is great for the mind, body and soul!
