What a day!  Mondays should be half days at work - just simply because by the time you deal with all the crap, you're exhausted or traumatized and need some alone time to deal with it.

Goal for the day:  Same as ever - reduce cheats and cut out the soda Well I was hoping to keep a daily journal of the ups and downs of moving from my sugar addiction, but it seems that food is not the only area I lack discipline in.  Every day is another opportunity to start over and yet, I put things off.  Procrastination Recovering Sugar Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773871028689174152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439239939395421815.post-13888296101599699512011-07-08T16:55:00.000-04:002011-07-08T16:55:03.551-04:00Pissed off, Pests and Pizza (and how they are related)!Day 4:  July 4, 2011 Weight: 163.2 (missed my opportunity to weigh first thing in the morning...better luck tomorrow) Goal for today:  Reduce soda intake and 'cheat' meals and snacks Not off to a great start.  Xena, the dog, barking before 7 am to either be let out to pee or to attack the cats or because she felt we'd slept in enough.  My youngest, Max, slept in my bed with Recovering Sugar Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773871028689174152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439239939395421815.post-81096510094569317332011-07-08T16:09:00.000-04:002011-07-08T16:09:55.494-04:00The best laid plans.....never last a day in my house!Day 3:  July 3, 2011 Weight:  163.2 (again, can't weigh again until Monday) Goal for the day:  Reduce sodas to allotted amount and no more cheats (after that last candy bar) How sad is it that I can barely remember which day I did what just two days later?  I know, I know, sugar is the culprit there too, I'm sure.  I'd started writing earlier and had a whole diatribe (Recovering Sugar Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773871028689174152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439239939395421815.post-50332140131274036452011-07-03T15:41:00.000-04:002011-07-03T15:41:18.179-04:00Holiday Weekends Suck - only foodwise.....Day Two:  July 2, 2011 Weight: 163.2 (can't weigh again until Monday) Goal for the Day:  Find a way to enjoy the life changes.
