First things first....HaPpY nEw YeAr !!!!

Well today has gone exceptionally well considering I've been off work since December 21, 2011 and tomorrow we go back to work.

This morning consisted of an English Muffin with one egg and one slice of bacon with a 1/4 of a cup of grits.  Believe it or not it kept me full for quite sometime! Anyway, My lunch consisted of whole grain thin bread with 2 thin slices of chicken breast 1/2 tsp of mayo and a 100 calorie low fat cottage cheese with blueberries.  It was GOOD!  I am still finding out that since I quit smoking somethings taste really good now!  ...lol...who knew!?!  Okay I will finish out the day with supper which consisted of a good ole southern tradition of blackeye peas I had approx 3/4 of a cup and 1/2 a piece of smoked sausage.  I had to be a bit realistic and not leave myself out on this ritual.

All in all the entire day has gone fairly smoothly.  I've done little things around the house and cooked and taken my time.  I am also working on an exercise schedule.   I would rather do this blog later but I decided I wanted to go ahead and do this so I can finish up some loose ends and preparing for the work week.  You all know how that goes!

I really am feeling blessed and dedicated...I also tweaked my Goal Schedule as in yes I want to reach my 50 pound weightloss goal BUT I want to lose 6 of those pounds this month.  I am hoping that by making myself look at it as losing 6 pounds in 31 days is a bit easier on the mind ...I'm not just looking at that final goal its the little ones to get me to the big one.  Does this make sense?

Well...I also did not weigh myself this morning.  I know what I weighed few days ago so I'm going to stick with that as my beginning number and go from there.

Come on y'all this should be easy.  

Ok I'm going to get off of here and I will update things tomorrow evening on how my day goes.  Keep me in your prayers and I will do the same for everyone else.

Thank you!!
