Dear Food Diary,

    I'm thinking of starting a new journal with photos.

    I'm undecided should I do one strictly for weight loss, another for social events, or put them all together in one journey, because it's really all the same journey. I'll get Bran's opinion when he gets up.

    Losing weight in love is proving to be easier in making good choices.

    I'm drinking my coffee black this morning.

    And will, most likely, for the rest of my life.

    I'm feeling tired mentally today, but that's not stopping me.

    We decided to eat grilled chicken and asparagus for lunch, 2 protein shakes, and 3 for Brian.

    I've got to pay bills today, we've got to go to the bank.

    It's almost 5, I'm waking Brian at 6. That gives me a whole hour.

    I can pay bills, clean the kitchen, or sew.

    I feel like stiting right here in this chair.

    This weekend, I want to mow, sew, and get the kitchen and front cleaned, and the clothes washed.

    Grocery List!

    I feel a little bit strung out, but that probably goes with the territory of losing weight.

    I refuse to weight until next Wednesday. That's 5 days from now. Yes, I can wait 5 days.

    Me and Brian are planning a cruise December for our anniversary.

    I should be down to about 165-170 by then. A small size 12. Maybe even closer to a 10.

    I want to count down the days, but I don't feel like counting on the calendar.

    It's going to be tough enough as it s.

    Besides, this is not a countdown, it's a lifestyle change. I'd be counting the rest of my life.

    I am so thankful for my facebook friends, they have really helped me over the past few weeks. I love all of them.

    I am gong to be a size 2. At the most, 120 pounds soakng wet. Brian might even be able to pick me up!

    Bobbi Ann Otis is doing this with me and Brian and I am encouraged that we are doing it together.

    Annette & David Ford are also trying and I am praying for them as well.

    We will be out of 9 of our credit card debts really soon, just as soon as we get our income tax returns and back pay. We are cutting down from 13 credit cards to 4 and back up to 6, because just charged 2 new ones- J. Jill and Fingerhut for lcothes and some outdoor furniture respectively.

    I looked on Forever 21 yesterday. Black dresses and all kinds of fashionable clothing. Can't wait to wear that stuff! I'm not losing my fashion sense. I'm taking it with me.

    Brian Likes Stein Mart, I like Dillard's.

    Brian wants a bomber jacket, and maybe I can get him one this Christmas.

    Daddy gave me lesson in Honor yesterday about him and Mama. He didn't even get mad at me. I love my Daddy Mac.

    Me and Brian are weired like Mama and Daddy are, and I'm so glad, cause our kids are going to have a great life! As I have.

    After weight loss, the next thing on my list is smoking. I'm going to quit and Brian's going to quit dipping too. God's grace covers a lot.

    I think I feel strung out because my body is starting into weight loss mode. I will be sure to take my vitamins. I might just need a shower. I am also taking Xenadrine, which improves metabolic function.

    Brian got up, and we are looking at buying a Bowflex. I wasn't too thrilled about it at first, because it looked like it would be hard to work, but Brian pointed out that it's safer than free weights, and I want to keep my baby safe.

    He also pointed me in the direction of starting this journal here, on the computer this morning, instead of keeping a hard copy. I just like paper .

    Time for protein shake #1. And some pictures.
