The Final Countdown

I am your typical dieter.....the "Starting Tomorrow" dieter.  The one that is always "fixing to" get started.  An old supervisor of mine (back when I was around 17 or 18) once told me that "fixing to"  was another word for idle.  If you are fixing to do something, then you are not currently doing anything.  He was so right.  It has taken me a couple of decades to finally "get it".  I have a big birthday party for my boss tonight, so I don't want to set myself up for failure by kidding myself I will be on track today. I know I have to learn to deal with life's situations (birthday parties, holidays, office snack days and so on), but not on the very first day of getting serious about my new healthy life.  I am going to track my intake today to the best of my ability.  I have 11 weeks and 19 pounds to lose.  I have been half heartedly tracking for a while, but I always neglect to put in my night noshing calories which are the ones that I have the toughest time giving up.  I am hoping to find some friends along the way for mutual support along the path to health.  Let's do it!
