First Day of the next 12 months

Welllllllllllllllllllllllll, I can't say that I have been on track today. 
I have been so tired and it took every ounce of energy in my body to go outside and feed my animals.  I had a lazy day today although I did work several hours on a Newsletter that I was supposed to have had emailed out yesterday. 
I just finished it a half hour ago and hit the send button.  Then decided to come on here.

I did track for 2 days in a row - but not today.  Tomorrow is another day... the tracker is sitting on my kitchen table glaring at me.  Reminding me. 

hahaha the chocolates are nearly all gone in the house - I have figured out that a toblerone chunk is 4 points - the icy chocolate squares are 2 points - m&m's for 1/4 cup is 5 points - and Ferrero Rocher! AH! my favorite! for 3 of them it is 6 points.
I think I am going to have withdrawals when I finally tell myself no more or better yet there is no more in the house.  You see I won't buy them but if someone else does I will eat them.

This could be TMI... but I had spoken about my hubby not being very supportive.  He tries in his own way and for the most part he does mean well... like when he sees me eat a chocolate and tells me that he will have to work it off me later.  hehehe.   Again not exactly the support I want but it comes from his man heart. LOL

Well, I guess the first step to healthy eating is getting some groceries in this house. 
WW used to have menu plans (bare with me here.. I haven't actually read much of the literature to the new plan so... if they have menu plans now...I am unaware).
 I used to live off the menu plans.  I could swap in and out the foods I liked or what I had on hand.  The planning was all done for me and I could easily go shopping - little time spent.  I have spent hours talking about and actually starting some menu plans but never complete it and don't follow through.  Not a good thing for success.

I had some comments on my last post (end of 2010) - thank you for your support! Please by all means comment.  This is what I mean by the "friends" support.   I also have a wonderful, fabulous WW meeting leader and the people that go to the meeting are great too.  That is my "me" time.  I refuse to miss it.

I sometimes wonder who reads this blog...I have so few "followers".  If what I say or do helps anyone else I am thankful.  I would rather be an inspiration than someone who drags others down.  But in saying that, I too have my down days.  Sometimes far too many that I care to admit.  That was negative again.. gotta quit that.

Well, I do have a goal - I want to have lost weight by March 20th.  We have a wedding to attend.  I don't want to give some unrealistic number but as long as the scale is going in the down direction and I feel good that is all I will ask of myself.

I have surely rambled on in this post but sometimes I have to do that to get everything straight in my head.

To a clean slate with no mistakes in it....
