August Journal
August 6, 2001

Had a pretty good day of eating. I usually ride my bike to work because the kids go to camp and need their bikes but it was foggy and I used that for an excause. Tomorrow we are riding tho. 
I use WW etools and love it! It is so easy to plan your meals (they do it for you) and you can make substitutions for meals you don't like.  I must admit that I am a cookbook and recipe collector. I love to cook too.
My weigh in day is Wednesday night. I'm not too thrilled about weighing in at night but that is the only meeting we have where I live.
OK, I need sleep. Until the next time...

I've been having a hard time staying on program. I start the day off with a good breakfast and lunch but when I get home I can't control my eating. I have healthy snacks that I could be eating but I choose the wrong foods. I can use the "stress" excause and that is exactally what it is(lots of crap going on at home)...  I should know by now how to control my eating but instead of beating up on myself I just believe that I am human and at one point or another we do things where we know the consequenses. I know I will get past this, as I have before and it has taken me a few days to actuall put this in writing but maybe someone reading this will learn from this entry. Tonight is done, tomorrow I will make better food choices.

I've been having a hard time but the last two days I've done better. I haven't even been to a meeting in 2 weeks. My heart wasn't in it. I still have a lot of stress and craziness going on but tomorrow I plan on going to my meeting. I got back on track by getting together a menu for the week and making a grocery list. When I got home I weighed and measured everything and bagged it up. I have a shelf in the cupboard for just my snacks so when I get home from work I won't eat everything in sight. I made a list of the foods and point values and posted it on the door of the cupboard. I've stayed within my  points for the last 2 days and I feel pretty good. I've been drinking my water too. Hoping for  a good day on the scale tomorrow!
