Well, this journey has been largely successful and I have stayed unbelievably focused and stable in matching my behavior to my intentions.  However, yesterday I was just off.  I had a headache in the afternoon…I was picturing myself baking some homemade cookies (for the kids of course) and I was asking myself if I was going to be successful in shedding the last ten pounds and declare myself a healthy weight.  So as far as food that I ate that I actually did not need to eat, I ended up having a tablespoon of peanut butter, a banana, and two “ants on the log” (celery, peanut butter and raisins in case you forgot from childhood). 

Today, I feel through it!  Good golly a person’s mind is the most important part of this whole mission to maintain dietary health, I tell ya!  I am over it.  I made homemade waffles for the kids this morning and stuck to my smoothie, without feeling left out or struggling, I am not feeling like being a suzy home maker in the kitchen and eating my weight in cookies and ultimately I am ready to do the work again.

I am currently going back and forth between 144 and 145.  It will take some work and dedication, but I am set to take down these last ten pounds and post my success picture.  One thing I know I need to do better is track my calories on supertracker.gov and avoid over eating.  Wish me luck, people- I just may need it these next couple months!
