I will be in Socorro, New Mexico all next week at (IRTB) Training. So wish me the best on having to eat out every meal and counting calories. Take notes for me someone in are nutrition class, so I don’t fall behind And yes I will be exercising. See you in a week.

Well its Wednesday and time to blog. I have hit the wall and am having a hard time rolling out of bed at 5 am to exercise. But I force my self to do it; I was down to 183.5 pounds today, a pound and a half lower than I want to be. So I went to Molly’s for lunch, what a great place for home cooked food that will kill any diet. I had brazened pot roast that you could cut with your fork and a spinach salad, Dutch oven potatoes that were to die for. Then to top it off, basil tomato pie. I would guess that this lunch took all my calories for the day and I enjoyed every bite. Tomorrow back to the small portions.

The scale Gods are smiling on me today! I went to the gym and worked out, showered and weighed in. I made my goal weight 185 pounds, down from 212 pounds. Now I can increase my calorie intake; I just need to maintain. Wish everyone in the 100 day heart challenge the same success.

Welcome to Monday. And a grand Monday it is. I went in to the gym this morning put in my 45 minutes and I feel great. I had a few treats this weekend playing cards (OMG) how can you play cards without putting something in your mouth; grapes ,red licorice and a few almonds (20) that were above my daily calorie intake. On the other hand I didn’t have a girly beer (wine cooler) this weekend. If I'm not careful I could be translated and not be able to finish my 100 day heart challenge.
