It isn't fun, it often feels like deprevity, ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/julzchiki/2008/03/17/steady-goes-the-commitment/ So, I've decided to start up a new column in my blog.  It's mostly for my own benefit to get all the "bugs" out of me, but if it helps anyone else that's cool, too.

I have a Franklin Planner and now they have unique inserts where you can keep track of your food and exercise. This system has been pretty good to keep me more regular with my tracking. I still struggle though. I've been pretty ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/julzchiki/2008/01/17/tracking-in-january/ Diet. DIET! DIET! DIET!!! Bleah. This word haunts me. It annoys me because it is temporary, limiting, 4 letters (does that make it offensive?), sacrificial, depleting, and I have failed at it again and again and again. I'm so tired of failing. ... http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/julzchiki/2008/01/17/gaining-health/ "I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

The scale has been on a downward slope and so were my habits. But, on Friday night I got caught up doing something at work and didn't leave until almost 8pm.
