We're back :)

The whole weight thing sure is a battle for me I did great the two weeks before vacation and then vacation came and I didn't do so well....I just let the little things get me. I did have a birthday in there but I purposefully did not worry on that day. However, the other days, I just didn't stick to my plan.
I certainly did not eat enough...not that I went hungry but most of my calories were had at the end of the day instead of the beginning so I was always starving by supper time. Which of course meant that I then overate most evenings. Not 100% sure why but I think some pride issues were involved. See Carl's parents are in there mid 60's and a lot of elderly people just don't eat as much as the rest of us. Carl's parents eat less than most right now though because they are on a diet but not the same as I am and so they maybe had like 3 bites to eat the entire day. I guess I was just to proud and a little shy to say "hey, can i get myself something to eat?"
Anyways, I think that it is important for me to reflect on the weeks that don't go quite as well as others so that I can learn from them and move on.
Today is a new day, another week, and this journey still isn't over...but it sure is a battle. A hard one and sometimes i'm not so sure that i've got the strength to win it. But fight I must I have so much more to give to my family.
