Happy Sunday to you! I hope you've had a fabulous week accomplishing your food goals! If you haven't had a great week, don't be discouraged, each day is a new fresh start. My motto has always been, progress not perfection!
Here's one day of my week. Overall I feel a whole lot better than the week before. I committed to have fewer carbs and now I don't feel as sluggish and bloated as I did. I weighed in at weight watchers for my monthly check in and am maintaining which of course makes me happy.

Remember you can do anything for one day. Just focus on one day at a time and those days of not giving in to the temptations will build one upon the other. You will get stronger and stronger, not only physically ,but mentally as well. You may not be where you want to be, but I bet you are not where you used to be!
Did you stick to your food plans and committments this week? What is working for you and what is not that needs to change?

Thank you for the encouraging words. I found your site after deciding to go sugar free at the beginning of the year. Not having added sugar in my diet has made me feel a lot better, but I don't seem to be losing the weight. Initially I lost about 5 pounds, but nothing after that. I have 2 kids at home, the younger one is almost 3, so I do about 15 minutes of exercise a day. I know I have to keep plugging along and your words were an encouragement this morning. It's also helpful to see the food diary. Thank you.

Thank you Karen for your sweet words!I hope and pray I am always encouraging and never negative. As far as losing weight, are you counting calories? I found that was the only way to really see how much I was eating and although I was eating healthy foods I was eating too much. I had to cut back and lost weight eating between 1100-1500 calories. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will come off. I was and have always been a very slow looser. Consitency pays off.
