ONE DAY AT A TIME

****

The little troubles and worries of life, so many of which
we meet, may be as stumbling blocks in our way, or we may
make them steppingstones to a noble character and to
Heaven. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions
us for better things.

Henry Ward Beecher

Even though I'm not religious, I'm okay with the fact that
this passage is. I'm agnostic, not atheist.

Today was a better day than I've been having lately. It
wasn't particularly productive, but since I didn't spend
ANY of it in bed (after getting up around 7:45am), I
consider it a good start at more productive weekends. I
got the laundry done, as I have been for the past month or
so, but other than that, nothing else.

Annie wasn't home most of the day, so it was Kiki and I
again. She went to church with her friend Lexi's family. I
swear it seems like she's spending more time with them
than with me, but if it makes her happy, that's fine. Let
someone else deal with her for a little bit. I'm sure they
think they're doing a good thing for her. Exposing her to
the word of god or whatever. Annie can appreciate that. I
don't. So, that works out just fine.

You'll never guess what I started up doing again? Watching
what I eat! I decided now's the time (if I'm ever going to
do it) to drop a few pounds before Snookums gets home.
I've got my food diary in hand and I'm ready to go. Today
I ate 935 calories worth, which is a little lower than the
1000 I plan on allowing myself, but I'm not hungry and
it's late, so 935 works. My mantra will be ONE DAY AT A
TIME. One hour, one minute, one moment, if I have to. I'm
not going to think about the long term. I'm just going to
focus on getting through a day. I need to find my
strength. My drive. My willpower. Once I get back into a
routine, the weight will drop off and I'll be back on
track.

I'm tired. I'd better get to bed now. Getting proper rest
is vital to healthy weight loss. Yeah, like I've ever
cared about healthy weight loss. Ciao.
