There was a great quote on the board in my WW meeting yesterday. It said "No one can go back and create a new beginning, but everyone can start today and create a new ending." I like it! I had a loss at weigh in yesterday but just barely. I'm thankful for the loss, but it should have been more. I had a great food week. My problem was the weekend, as usual. I eat too much over the weekend, so on Monday morning I am up a few pounds from where I was when I weighed in on Saturday morning. I know it's just the sodium and extra food in my system, but it takes most of the week to get that out of me and then there's not much time for an actual loss.
But guess what. Yesterday, Saturday, I decided to buckle down and really pay attention to my food and... IT WORKED! The number on the scale was lower today than it was yesterday. Today has been tougher. I had a 4 point breakfast, but then a 16 point lunch that didn't keep me full for very long. I have already had 3 snacks this afternoon, so I know I will be using some flex points for dinner. But it's a new recipe, pork tacos, and it is pretty healthy. I may make rice to go with it, but I may just do a salad instead. Not bad, ay?
I'm struggling with some self doubt. It's time to start applying at schools again, and I'm having flash backs to the difficult moments from last year. Sigh... I would love your prayers on this matter.
Well, I'm off to file some bills before I head to Jenina's 30th birthday party! We have been friends for 23 years. How 'bout them apples!!! Happy birthday sweet girl!

A loss is a loss, that is very true. I totally understand how weekends are so tough. I wish the temptations that are there were not there... Do you weigh yourself everyday? Kim - I have a new soup recipe that you should try. I'll try to post it soon! Keep up the good work!
