I’m not really sure how it happens . . . one day you’re doing great the next, you are outta control. Then one day, you don’t post your meal plan because you don’t want to share your indiscretions with others . . . and how many times can you say the same thing?

Part of the problem, I think, is that I don’t keep my pictures and reason for doing this challenge handy. It’s in a folder on my table, but it’s too easy to keep it tucked away.. I have 10 weeks & 2 days remaining in this challenge. . . . it’s very tempting to just give up – after all I’ve blown it a bunches so far, and yet, somehow, I can’t, I won’t give up. There is progress being made.

I have been extremely busy with preparing for my granddaughter-in-law’s baby shower which is this weekend – she should drop that little bundle of joy any time now. It does, however, mean I’ve spent an over abundance of time with my loving, and yet overbearing, negative-in-so-many-ways daughter. After a day spent with her, I always feel I need hazardous duty pay and a beautiful cocktail at the end of the day is surely in order. (I know, I know, if it’s not on my free-day, its off-limits). Why can’t I get that into my head, for real?

I also, rather stupidly, I might add, tried to do extra aerobic activity on my weight training days as well, and I burned out very quickly, I guess I’m not as able to tear it up as much in my 60’s as I did in my 30’s . . . hmmmmmmmmm . . . anyway, it resulted in the need to rest my severely worn-out and pissed off self!

I am a bit behind in my Transformation Assignments, I’m almost finished with Step 6, will get caught up. I will not attempt to recap the last few days of indiscretions, but move forward. I realize there are lots of things that can derail me – I have a great-granddaughter due any moment now, and a baby shower this weekend. Deep Breath – here we go!
