OK, I'm geared up and ready to go for the week...I've just wrote down a meal schedule, so now I have a plan and hopefully staying on track won't be too hard. I already feel better having a meal schedule and am hoping it will help me to not constantly be thinking about food and eating and what I should and should not be eating, blah blah blah. I'll have the food in the fridge and things prepared.

I need to focus on the marathon, and not the sprint, and know that half a pound or a pound lost is better than none, and if I happen to take a bite of something "bad", that doesn't mean I can write the day off as a loss and go crazy and eat a ton of crap.

My goals for the week are to eat slower and to actually taste my food; and to actually pay attention to when I am full or getting full in hopes to reduce my portions.

I'm headed to the grocery store now, and when I get back I'm going to find my "goal outfit" (the one I looked foxy in before heading to Panama) and hang it up in my room to keep me focused and motivated.

I'm already feeling part of this fs world...and hope it will keep pushing me in the right direction.
