My Daily Great Thang.
Focus:
Either one at a time or all at once ... I'm not going to pick on myself, but these are what I'd like to ultimately achieve:
Having a bath or relaxing somehow each night (not in front of the TV ... ok except on Mondays cuz I like to watch "The Following";

Wish me luck! It isn't going to be easy, but it also isn't going to be a downer, if I make a mistake. "Oops! better start over" is all I'll say and back we go to 1.
Dr. Laura says "hard" doesn't mean "impossible" so. Here's to a bit of "hard" in my life.

My Goals:
To find and nurture supportive friendships so we can all help each other reach our weight loss goals.
Oh and, right now I am doing some research on some really really BIG goals I can achieve with my son. Like hiking in Yosemite or something cool like that. To Be Continued.
My Program:
Being oh so careful to take my medication daily at the right time and to be oh so careful after 8 pm in that oh so inviting kitchen space!
