Keelie -- you are right. It is my number one goal. I am in this until the end -- what is the end? I see this continuing my entire life. Thanks for your input, I really needed that this morning. The entire time I ran I kept thinking about this journey. Where I was -- Where I am now.

There's a huge difference physically. Mentally, I still play the same game sometimes. I think this week is part of the game - a side road from the journey. I felt like I did good on my trip to Vegas. I got the Veggie Plate at Texas Roadhouse. I ate salad every chance I got. I ate fruit. I packed fruit and veggies. I drank as much as I could. Yes, I had a piece of cheese cake - shared with my husband. Yes, I had a cookie. What's the hang up with the scale. I'm up three pounds. I am bouncing and hovering around the 200 pound mark. How do I break this mental plateau? What is mentally keeping me from entering the 190s?

I need to focus on Power Foods. Fruits and Veggies! I need to eat my salads. I need to keep drinking my water. Snap out of it. I do know what to do. I can do hard things. I am thankful for this blog. If I didn't have it all of those thoughts would still be bouncing around in my head. I can do it!
