I am going to use this advice when my body tells me it wants, whiskey and a cigar as my first meal of the day, btw my body mostly speaks this to me on daddy day care Saturdays where I am solo parenting 2 preschoolers.

Congrats! Keep on listening to your body, but the voice that says "be healthy" and not the one that says "eat the cannoli - both of them." I think we all have a little bit of split personality.

I have been eating healthy all day, but nighttime has become my downfall again. I think that I deserve it, or I've earned it because I've been "good" all day. I really wish I could get away from thinking I've been good or I've been bad. That just leads to a lot of negativity that my life does not need. Ever the optimist, I get up the next morning and try again. This time around I am learning that it is not a sprint, but a marathon. It is taking me much longer to lose weight, but my attitude is that I will come out ahead in the long run. (Funny that I used a running metaphor when I've never run in my life!)

No weight loss this week. Up a half pound. Ugh!

Hope this is a good week for all of us!
