I owe this blog for the above week as I was so busy between work, some pressing family issues and just a lot of " brain junk" taking up my time. 

I am truly struggling with this program this year.  Yeah, I lost 8 lbs. the first month but I just can't get my brain wrapped around what I need to do to be fully committed this time around.  Trust me, I am not happy with my weight where it is.  I have a goal weight I want to get to but I just can't figure out what motivates me this time.  I'm working out (although not as much as I did last year, but AT LEAST twice a week at the gym), I'm working at least 32+ hours a week this time.  Last year I was not working.  I am trying to stay aware of everything I eat.  What do I need to do???  At work I am on my feet the entire shift and so I am in motion a good part of my shift.  No snacking there; nope -  I have no problem saying "no" to myself when looking at candy, donuts, snack foods, pizza, sodas, sandwiches and the list goes on.  I know the damage that stuff can do to me.  I really need to dig deep this time but where????
