Where I have been?

First and foremost I apologize. Do not think my absence in posting is due to a slipping of my goal or vision. Actually it is due to a violent stomach bug. Who would have thought that some microscopic organism has the power to put a person down from multiple days. Finally feeling better and refreshed and renewed towards the Goal.

While the stomach bug was rough, there is a bigger challenge ahead. How to stay focused. With it being the Superbowl Sunday and snacks a plenty it will be hard to remind myself of the tricks that make one feel successful during parties. ONe of the great things to do is to take a plate and fill it up. Fill it with some veggies a little dip and maybe a little bit of salsa and chips. The goal then is to make that plate last. Also drink a lot of water, and if you are eating a meal. Eat the main meal first so that you aren't as hungry when the snacks start to come out. And as for the eternal question to dessert or not to dessert. I say, sure have a little but know which one you want and stick with it. DOn't fall for the a little of this and a little of that.

So, here we are into month two still at the gym, and still working on making great food choices. The clothes are feeling great, and my confidence and energy at a new all time high.

Loving it.
