Okay, this is totally new to me, and I'm surprised that I'm even doing this, but I'm hoping it will motivate me to make a few changes in my life. The two BIG changes that I really need to make are losing weight and getting my house in order. I'm hoping that keeping a record of what works and what doesn't will help me on my journey. If anyone ever starts reading this, maybe they can help me along the way, too. I am pleased with myself that I was able to say "no" to both Wendy's and my dad's birthday cake and ice-cream today. Usually, I would just say "oh, well", and eat it. I've had times when I've been able to practice self-control, but for the last couple of years, it seems I have lost all control! Hopefully, I can string together a few more days like today.
