Days 11-12

Had a rough weekend, felt like quiting. Really would have enjoyed a glass of wine. Instead, I made some almond "cookies" . . . no dried fruit or sweetner, so really just almonds and egg, but they kept me "legal" while I was travelling.

My body is rebelling, I think maybe I am coming down with something. No energy at all! Or maybe it's the low CARB days???

DAY 10

0645 - MELTDOWN: 86/69; 90/61; 53/27; 40/71 SPIDEYS BETTER, TODAY.

I read Dax's report about why we make excuses and fail . . . I'm really feeling that, today. I told myself that I was committed to complete the MAP, but when I'm so tired, I just CANNOT exercise. I have guests at home and lots of extra committments for these 2 weeks, but I realize that I cannot use that as an excuse. I really want to get back to where I was last year, but doing the work is hard! I am re-analyzing . . .

I had dinner guests again last night, so another late bedtime, but we ate at home, so I was able to control what I ate.
