yesterday went well except lunch had a penne pasta blended into the salad. Also had a tangerine that was an extra serving.

This am the scale was higher than I expected but I think it is due to the extra exercise this week.

For today:
2 dairy, 3 f, 2 s, 1 bar

im off to exercise. I'm hungry!

I exercised for 45 min at the club - 12 min rowing and the rest eliptical machine. I had an asian chicken salad for lunch. I watched my daughter for 2.5 hours suffer through her junior black belt test and got hungrier and hungrier. I figured that I was so hungry because I have really been exercising this week. I decided that since I did well all week as following my requirements for my diet plan, I would just have an ice cream sundae with the works for an early dinner and not really have anything else, and that is what I did. My, was it good. I did have a drink and 5 bites of my family's pasta about 7 pm. Well, tomorrow is the start of another week.

When I was cleaning around my house later this evening, I can see exactly where the eight to ten pounds are that I want to lose. I consider this all training for maintaining. If I can lose ten pounds in ten weeks and get into shape, that will be great. Then if I can live the life of luxury, of taking care of my body and enjoying it in the Lord, that would be splendid. So, tomorrow....Got to get through Sunday morning breakfast with the kids. Maybe I'll worry after that, but still try to control it pretty good then also.

Lord, "help." Amen.
