I Think I Can!

I was thinking tonight of the chidren's book about the litte engine that could. While doing the hard thing, pulling the heavy trains up the steep hill, the engine repeated over and over again, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

I am still feeling confident today that I can do this. So far it has been almost too easy. Yesterday and today I was 100% faithful and it didn't seem hard. While doing some homework I thought...hmmm at this time I would have already had some candy kisses, chocolate frosting on a graham cracker, and probably a couple pieces of toast...and those are all just for snacks. I am learning some things about myself. I am learning that eating occupied a huge part of my thoughts. Now that I am more scheduled with my three meals and two snacks, I don't graze all day long. I know I will have breakfast at 7:30, a snack at 10, lunch at 1, a snack at 3:00 and dinner at 5:30. Sometimes I skip the afternoon snack and move it to about 7 just because if I am watching tv I like to have a litte something. But at the same time, I don't want to eat much past 7. Anyway, so far so good.

Well, time to go to sleep. That 6:45 exercise class comes early. I just wanted to remember:



And I for one think I can do this....because it is time!
