Yesterday I enjoyed a bit more calories than I normally eat because I cooked much of the day for a house full of hungry men who are visiting for deer hunting season. Today is a new day and another chance to choose my food and portions wisely. While I walked 4 miles with my dog Gunner yesterday, today is another opportunity to take a long walk and do some end of the year yard work. Those knock out roses along the south side of the driveway need trimming. Lots of arm muscles, bending over and pushing a heavy whellborrow around.

Each day is an opportunity to start over, to do better than the day before, to feel good about yourself and the lifestyle changes you are making. Today is YOUR new day.
