Starting Out 1/2 Empty

Two more weeks have gone by since my last blog entry.  I have wanted to sit down a dozen times and write because writing has always been my therapy.  I've been depressed, stressed, busy, tired, and lazy.  My emotions have been on a wild ride for awhile now and I've had trouble holding onto the wheel.  

But, here I am.  I can report that (at last weigh in - 4 days ago) I was down 4 lbs from my weight 2 weeks before - which is encouraging.  I've been a little more selective on the food choices I make.  Not making good choices very often but becoming, once again, aware of what I'm eating and/or about to eat.  I've been working a bizzillion hours and really don't know what the affect of that will be on my weight but will say it is interfering with planning and shopping for healthy foods.

And I can look back over the last week and only remember drinking one glass of water the entire week.  There's an apple that's been sitting on my desk, right here in front of me,  for 3 days.  It only landed there after riding around in my purse for a day or two.  I think I'll eat it now, in fact...while I continue with my entry.  That's a "start" down the right road, right?  In fact....excuse me while I go grab a glass of water.  BRB

OK...I'm back.  While I was getting the water, I opened the fridge and saw my cantaloupe...already cut up and put in a ziplock bag ready to eat.  This cantaloupe is exceptionally sweet and a great treat!  So I'm eating that now instead of the apple.  I'm not a big fan of biting into apples anyway.  Maybe I'll cut it up and take it to work with me tonight.  See?  This is really how simple it "can" be.  Having the fruit "ready-to-eat" is all it took for me to want it. 

And my water glass is now half-full.
