Little Orphan Annie Would Be Proud
I didn't weigh this weekend. We had a neighborhood safety meeting and I'm still fighting the cedar. I know I could have gone to another meeting, but I just wasn't feeling it.
And here's my problem so far this week: I am loving tomorrow. Looking toward tomorrow. Knowing that tomorrow will be good. But in the process, I'm not doing very well today. I keep letting myself have one more cookie or one more piece of pizza today, giving myself permission to do better tomorrow.
I do that too often. I'll slip and have an extra treat after lunch, so I'll let myself just forget how to count points for the rest of the day. I let a whole day go down the drain instead of just a single meal. I need to quit that. I need to make an effort to fix that thinking. A little treat after lunch doesn't mean the whole day is ruined. It simply means lunch is over and I need to look forward to a healthy dinner.
Tomorrow will be better. I'll get back on track and count points. Seriously. Tomorrow.

The best time for dieting is always tomorrow... the best time for cookies? RIGHT NOW!
