it's all about starting, isn't it?

J here.  The last time we did something like this together, you lost 25 lbs and I gained 3 because I never actually started.  So, at least I'm getting started.  4 six weeks.  I can do this.  I need to be mindful about what I cram in my mouth on a day to day basis.  I did pretty well yesterday.  Had 700 c until I went out to dinner.  I was quite cocky about how I watched my food at Outback.  No aps (I LOVE cheese fries with BACON).  Had a salad with cheese and croutons -- not good, I know --with ranch to begin.  Then 4 stuffed shrimp and steamed vegies.  Doesn't that sound good??  Well, 800 cals later, I was kinda bummed.  But at least I didn't have a Peterbrooke chocolate heart to make myself feel better.  Today is another day and I'm encouraged.  I will have breakfast in a minute, count it, and continue on from there.  I did discover that I'm using only 20 c of cream in my coffee, so that cuts 60 c in a day right there!  HA!
The secret is in the starting and I have begun.  How rare.  Instead of giving in to various temptations, I will blog, blog, blog.
One more thing.  Outback has crappy wine.  So I went back to Jack and h20 and recaptured my youth.  Only one.  little victories. 
LET'S PLAY!!!
