Wow 11 days...not too shabby for a frumpy unemployed fat mom!  I have been keeping it up, yesterday I worked for almost two hours in the yard, burning a ton of calories, and really watching my intake, and yet, really enjoyed myself.
I went to a friends house last night and stayed way too late, and that was not good because when I got home I was hungry. so I made a sandwich, not great, but not a desaster either.
Today I have worked in the yard for about 30 min, I hope I can enlist my son to help with some of the heavy lifting when he comes home from school, I find the raking is tough, but does not hurt my back, however, the bagging does.
I think my mom does not think I can do this, she has been buying fatty foods and cooking meals with a lot of fat, and they taste delish, but they are really bad for the calories and fat counters. I will do this, I will enjoy my food in moderation despite being tempted, I mean if I can avoid temptation around my mom's cooking, I can do it anywhere.
It is like they say, being good is easy when being bad is impossible, but when temptation rears its ugly head, that is when your strength kicks in.  I will "Live Strong!"
