There is no problem to which excessive food is the answer...

The answer to many problems, however, is healthy food in moderation and ample exercise.

I need to start updating daily- what I have done right & wrong & why; why I am doing what I am doing; what I can do better.

I want to be healthy. And I want to enjoy shopping for a wedding dress once the time for that comes. That is my big goal. But it is pretty vague.

Mini goals: stay on track EVERY DAY from here until NYC trip- 37 days. How many pounds will this result in? IDK. IDC. I am working on changing my habits, which will result in the logical response of changing my body. But I don't want to obsess over the markers. And besides, I realize that a resonable goal would be 10 lbs. Which to me seems useless. The same 10 I have lost and gained a million times. I don't want THAT to be a goal.

Goal 2: on track EVERY DAY until Seattle trip- 20 weeks. 40 lbs lost would be nice... but that's not where my eyes have to be.

Today I went for a walk at lunch and I am on track with my eating. I will do another walk later to equal 60 minutes.

What could I have done better? One hot cocoa instead of two- but I didn't go to the store for junk food or out to lunch, like I was tempted to

I am where I am because of my own actions. This is something I have done to myself. Not something that has been done to me. I feel like a victim, but I am not!

I got a new pair of shoes and I am hoping they will help with my foot pain. I also caved and bought a few pairs of pants that fit, even though I wanted to wait until I lose weight...

No excuses.
