The first thought that went through my head was, NO...I don't want to keep a journal, but I was thinking about it in the hand written form, which I'm not so good at. When I type my thoughts can flow faster than I can physically write them down.
So YES, I'm in.
Who wants to join me?

I was explaining how hard it was in this world to do the healthy living( yesterday I ate my greens before I took a friend out for b day we went to American style restaurant where I spent $ 10 on oatmeal and a tiny cup of fruit, now I was proud of myself knowing that the money was well spent and I felt great for rest of day because of it but the frugal part of me was not happy about it! I then was at a store that has the most amazing smoked salmon and it's close to my b day too so I got it small piece I think that's ok for a rare treat. Then I was at burger king for dinner, I packed up something very quick for me to eat before we left. Then it's singing happy b day to a very special person with people who I had just met and got handed a very small plate of cake and ice cream -I just ate it , I could have done it other ways but I have passed on this with family before and kind of felt bad or I could have just eaten a few bites and not the whole thing! Then I Ended up back at burger king this time at drive thru to pick up fries and rings and I thought why not add the taco for a dollar and the new cheesy tots for a dollar - for my hubby but why would I do that to him? Who was I last night? Anyway I had three cheesy tots dipped in sauce , I had also asked for my favorite sauce!) Anyway in my dream I was explaining that it's hard to do the whole day so full of ways to go off track.

Since my start and goal weights are the same as yours (sounds like comparisons, right? ....but not really) I am staying encouraged that it is all possible. I chuckled over your comment about writing vs typing....I have said the same thing on several occasions for various reasons. Good luck on your journal and journey!
I have been taking UV treatments for the past 3 months for psoriasis (a second go around from a successful but temporary 2017 series) . Though Jeff had said to focus on the MWL first and the underlying 2nd (which I did when I was experiencing a successful MWL run) I find that I must now incorporate changes to deal with both because the 'nightshades' are, I believe, inhibiting my progress with my treatments. Soooooooooo I'll be cutting out white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers which REALLY leaves me even more limited. Of course cutting out the dairy when I am off program will help too. I am already craving the regal white potato as I write .
Thank you everyone for your open and genuine sharings...they are a gift. All the best by you and for you this week and 'to infinity'.

I spent several days staying in a motel and eating in restaurants this last week. I made poor choices. I was hoping the gain was from sodium and my weight would drop back down but I've had trouble staying compliant to MWL foods since I returned home. Argh!
