Okay, so the first month of 2013 is in the books... I am a year older now, and I'm NOT any closer to my goal than I was a year ago... This is so VERY frustrating! Why the heck can't I seem to get it together? Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday -- a notoriously HORRIBLE day to start a fresh diet week! I didn't track anything. And I ate MORE than my share of points to be sure!
This morning I was sitting at my desk, preparing for my work day to begin, when Josie from work called to tell me that Yolanda had resigned (over the weekend?). Oh boy, NOT a good way to start a Monday morning! So at 8:30 I logged in, completed a report, and then BAM -- no connection. After trying everything and rebooting my computer several times, I got in touch with Leonard and spent at least an hour on the phone with him, who had me re-check everything, reboot a few time, restart my modem -- only to find out it was on UIC's end! Whew! Definitely NOT the way to start out the week! But I thanked GOD it was NOT on my end! Good thing it wasn't the 13th... that woulda been the triple wammy!
I have to make the conscious decision to NOT let things around me effect my emotions or what I am eating that day! But then they don't call it COMFORT FOOD for nothing! I have GOT to reboot MY PERSONAL internal computer... NOW!
I am having a long and serious talk with myself right now about what is going to happen first thing in the morning tomorrow -- tracking - tracking - tracking... and I am NOT going to use any of the 49 flex points (do they still call them that?) for the rest of the week. I'm sure I used them all yesterday and for all the extra comfort foods I ate today.
Gene sent me a great message this morning... perfectly timed! And it expressed EXACTLY how I feel!

Strength
I am filled with the life, strength and energy of God.
Our bodies respond to our thoughts and feelings. If I am feeling depressed or unhappy, my body feels it. If I am feeling stressed and hurried, my body becomes tense and tired. Conversely, my body responds just as readily to positive thoughts.
When I affirm with conviction, I am filled with the life, strength and energy of God, I stir up these divine qualities within me. The life and intelligence in my body respond, and I feel an upsurge of energy throughout my being. The healing life of God flows through me and I call it forth through my thoughts and affirmative prayers. As I do, my body as well as my mind and emotions are strengthened and uplifted.
