Happy Birthday to me.

This upswing is not because I stuffed my face over the weekend. It is because I haven't been accountable to my goals since Thanksgiving (shame on me)

I log, I do well, I don't log, I see a number on the scale that I haven't seen since Sept 12 2016. Whoa!!!!

Today is a new day, a gift.

Anyone remember the cartoon from 20+ years ago with the image of the frog stuck in the crane's mouth titled "Never Give up"? Well, I am the frog and I will not quit.

I will apply the K.I.S.S principle to my journey and utilize OMAD again.

Approximately, 6 weeks ago, I was eating One Meal A Day averaging around 1600 - 1800 calories and the scale moved in the right direction. It was easy (K.I.S.S) and silly me, I should have stuck to it. I had plenty energy and I am guessing I didn't keep it up because I didn't prepare my meals in advanced or I let life get in my way or a combination of both. Not sure, but logging and journaling could helped me identify trends and I could make corrections sooner vs waiting a whole month.

I am here and I will be OK.

I've missed my FS family and I can be better than this.

Onward!

BTW, the personal messages and texts... THANK YOU!

Ches - I know how you are feeling. When I log, I do fine. Got home Thursday from 3 days at the coast with no computer and a cell phone that wasn't working. And in the little coastal towns there weren't many places too eat - many are open only Thursday through Sunday. So I posted 5+ pounds when I weighed yesterday and am working on that right now. And Happy Birthday!
