Well, the weekend wasn't as good as I had hoped. I had some cravings which I gave into. Darn!
I had been feeling so strong & focused, and the next thing I knew I had licorice in my hands!
It wasn't a total blowout, although I did give back some of the losses I worked so hard to achieve over the past 2 weeks. Double Darn!
Today was good until about 7 p.m., when I found some licorice left from the weekend and decided I should get rid of it (via my mouth!).
The good news is all my meals for tomorrow are already made & packed, and I have an appointment with my trainer at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow.
Onward.

Hiking in Hawaii
1. Launch the (new) habit with a strong initiative. Find situations to encourage the habit daily
2. Seize the first opportunity to act ("with mere good intentions hell is proverially paved"). Form new "grooves" in your brain.
3. Act on your habit a little every day, several times a day. Let it not fail to take place.
- act frequently on your good intentions
- as you act, your will strengthens
- as your will strengthens, your personal character improves
- as you character improves, your brain "grows", making it natural for you to continue to act
Intention > Habit > Character

Hiking in Hawaii
The things I know to do to be successful
- Remember every step forward helps. Only take steps that move forward. Always take steps
- Read my goals - think about them all the time
- Exercise with enthusiasm - it is a priviledge denied to many
- Plan ahead & tote my food
- Watch out for the warning signs of a desire to sugar binge. For me, diet pepsi & bread often trigger cravings. Oh yes, and having any sugar at all (none, not one!)
NO REGRETS!
I will live each day as I want to remember my life.
Every day I will live with an integrity to my personal potential that makes me proud to be me.

Hi Cynthia, as has been said, no amount of exercise can make up for a poor diet. It's so darn easy to consume 200-600 calories at the blink of an eye, isn't it?
Let us know how your training session goes.
That darn sugar demon!!!!!!!!!! I guess, though, that the licorice isn't the high-fat chocolate that I had over the weekend!!!! So, you're ahead in the quest that way.
Anyway, have fun at the trainer. I miss having workouts with others. It really is so much more fun and I seem to work harder...even if it's just a workout partner!
Here's to a new day!
