Nothing good happens after 10

The nights I go to bed on time, at a reasonable hour, I am successful. The nights I stay up late watching a movie - not so much.

I did great all day and blew it in the home stretch. It's just something I really need to be aware of and put my calories in My Fitness Pal before I eat it and not after.

Heading into the weekend, I want to be successful. I plan to get up at 7 am, go to the gym, shower and breakfast, then off to garage sales.

I've been sore for several days from the lunges and squats I did on Wednesday, but that should be easing up by tomorrow so I can do it all again.

I told my brother Rich today that taking a picture a day and waiting to see changes in my body is like watching a flower grow - it takes forever, but in the end I hope to become who I want to be on the outside as well as the inside. This journey is about making changes physically, mentally, and spiritually - a day at a time.  Today I read in Alma 7:  "And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gently; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, bot spiritual and temporal; always returning things unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive." I felt like the verse was really teaching me and directing me to not give up and continue the course.

My food today:
B: Fried egg, 1/2 bagel, tomato, strawberries
L: banana, salad with chili, chicken, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole
D: salad, spaghetti, and grapes
S: popcorn, 3 semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 bagel
Calories overage:  198
