Days 4 and 5...Just never mind!

In the words of my dear friend Glenda Barlow, JUST NEVER MIND!

Ugh! I'm so disgusted with myself. If my foot could reach back that far, I'd kick my own ass! Okay, so I messed up. See, what had happened was, I was eating crabs (yes, again) and they were so bland without the Old Bay seasoning...so, I simply couldn't enjoy them. I made my mayo concoction. All that doggone mayo and ketchup and hot sauce and vinegar. Oh well...it is what it is...what's done is done...and all that good stuff we say to make ourselves feel better about what we did when we knew we should not have done it in the first place. Yet, I paid the price, dearly, for eating so much of that concoction (oh, it was so good). Let's just say that if I had a twenty-dollar-bill for every trip I made to the bathroom last night, I could pay my electric bill!

I digress...

Today is a new day. As Kirk Franklin puts it: "Even though I hurt, I smile!" Aside from my tiny lapse in judgement, I'm still on track. Today, I will flush with lots of water and veggies. By the way, Happy Labor Day! I plan to barbecue chicken and veggies on the grill today.

But, I must admit. Since I've changed my eating habits, drinking tons of water, and have incorporated a little exercise into my day, I have more energy. I climb into bed at a decent hour—by 11:00 pm—every night, and I'm up by 8:00 a.m. every morning. I can actually feel a change in my body. I feel good.

As I continue on my journey of weight loss, I'm reminded of something my main apple scrapple, Paula Tilghman, is always telling me: "Okay, maintain your focus and you will not fail."

Thanks for following me, and until next time...
