F.O.C.U.S.: O= Observant

     Being observant can be a very difficult thing to do. How it is very important that those of us in this war on weight pay close attention to what we eat, how much we eat, and when we eat. We must be careful not to eat too much, the wrong foods, and when we are emotional. I am an emotional eater, I eat when I am depressed, happy, excited, sad, pretty much any emotion I eat(lol). Seriously, I have had a struggle with eating too much.

     Yesterday when I weighed in I weighed 366.5, this puts me now 9.5 pounds away from my goal for this week! Yesterday we had a an appreciation lunch for those of us at the radio station. They ordered pizza. Man was it good. Yes, I ate too much. I ate about 4 or 5 pieces of pizza along with 2 cheese sticks, and some very yummy (a.k.a. very fattening) chocolate bread sticks, I ate four of them - they were smaller. Later, for "supper" I had 2 more pieces of pizza and 4 of the small chocolate sticks. I also drank two cups of Mt. Dew yesterday, the rest of the day I drank water. About 7:00 p.m. I had 3 bowls of honey nut cheerios, with milk - I think it was 2%. Oh yeah I also had about 6 or 7 meatballs yesterday morning. I did not exercise ANY fortitude. I did however walk about 1 mile throughout the day and at about 8:00 I did my stepper for 20 minutes. This is similar to the stepper I use.

Today I will show both Fortitude and will be Observant. I haven't weighed today as of this post I will tell you how it turns out. Not really looking forward to it, but at least I will know the damage.
