Yesterday did not go as planned.......I did good during the day, but that is expected while I am at work. I usually do not eat much while at work. I left out the door starving and with "attitude"! LOL! I headed straight to Taco Bell for a $.99 beefy crunch burrito and there goes the calories! Then while I was cooking dinner I was eating a blueberry bagel! I seemed to have an attitude all evening. I know I was tired, but I put the blame on the lack of food. I can say that my calorie intake was at 21% for the day before I walked out of the office.......then look what happened. Time to plan and work on balance throughout the day in order to avoid the attitude and hunger. I talked with friends this morning about my evening and told them how easy it is to blame the "binge" on not being prepared to start that day and not eating earlier. Well geuss what Michelle - YOU ATE! So now what is the excuse? Today I prepared my lunch, but woke up late - which equals nothing at work today again. Well nothing except the snack foods that are high in calories, carbs, sugar, and sodium. So today again I ate a pack of crackers and some noodles.......the food is in the diet calendar. Michelle, do yourself a favor and plan your breakfast and lunch next week! Pack your lunch and remember to bring it with you. Make some breakfast items that you can grab on the way out the door or bring some oatmeal or cereal to work so you can eat when you get there. Also buy some health snacks to have at work so you can eat something to subside the hunger before you get to the binge stage!!!!!! OK you have the weekend to prepare for your challenges next week and it is GO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am excited about joining this site and the positive atmosphere I have heard involved. I have dieted several times in the past but give up after a short time. Several years ago I was prescribed weight loss medication that assisted me in losing 100 lbs., but after the quick weight loss in only 9 months I gained over 100 lbs. back in a years time. I continually tell myself that I need to loose weight, but never motivate myself enough to do anything but talk and dream about my weight loss goals. I want to have a long and happy life in order to enjoy the years that focus on myself and my happiness after spending my entire life focusing on the needs of others and neglecting myself and my health. I will continue to care for others, but since I am getting older I need to care for myself in order to continue to help others. I think back to when I was in high school and considered myself fat and wish I was at that weight and size today.....boy what I would look like now! lol! I need to keep that in mind when working towards reaching my weight lose goals....set short term goals that build upon each other to meet the long term goal. I also need to remember that if I do not reach the weight I was in high school that is fine as well. The important part of this is to drop the pounds to increase my health. My children are older now and soon grandchildren will be in the picture. I want to be the grandmother that plays with her grandchildren without sitting down every few minutes to catch my breath. The sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and borderline diabetic level is not what I want in my future. The only medication I want to take is help for a little cold or daily vitamins......not medication to help me maintain a healthy level that could be managed with exercise and a healthy weight. My husband and children are very active and I want to enjoy our time together without having to stop or change plans because "I don't feel like walking anywhere today". I want to put away all the excuses and do what I want and need to do. I am ready to put my wants and dreams into motion. So today starts the beginning of A CHANGE - a change in diet, a change in exercise, a change in mindset, and a change is focus. I am looking to everyone to help me through support and motivation. So it is time for me to START.........
