Today was the end to my week-long company events.  Last week we had grandkids here (ages 5 and 2)  for 2 overnighter stays.  Then my grown son visited until this morning.  I love the company, but the little ones wear me out, and wear out my willpower, too.  My son expects lots of home cooking when he comes, so today was the first I even had the chance to get back to my diet challenge.  I didn’t keep track of my food consumption…..however, I do think I burned some extra calories with the grandkids here.  Today I walked in the house for 45 minutes, and right now I will go to check the mail(1/2 mile each way to the mailbox).  Thanks to those who took the time to read my first post and let me know what is happening to you.

Oh my, this is the first I have been on the scale for awhile.  Yikes.  I do not like the way I look…..I have gained weight gradually over the past five years.  My husband has one of those unbelievable metabolisms…..he eats huge meals, snacks, never has to worry about his weight(which is now 25 pounds less than me).  I like the idea of being able to log me thoughts, meals, and happenings…..maybe this will helpe stay focused and get back to what I used to be.  I have a very happy life….we are retired, have a 70 acre farm, have horses that we drive and three great dogs.  I should never be stressed….so why can’t I lose weight?  Today will be my first day of success….I just know it!
