My great Aunt Patsy had this photo posted on her facebook wall. I loved it!

Where to begin...well, I didn't workout today, my trainer has the flu, so we rescheduled for Thursday. I am having a difficult time getting my mind back on board with a pure Paleo, so I decided to compromise. A few years ago I read about Chris Powell helping David Elmore Smith loose 400 pounds, one of the things I remember reading was that David could have two cheat meals a week as long as there were two days in between them. I want to see if that will work for me. I would still like to make the cheat meals gluten and sugar free (I could be wrong, but for me I think it is a bigger culprit than dairy and corn). I don't know if it is a good idea for me or not, but I am going to at least try it and as long as I keep losing weight, then I will keep it like this. My hope is that eventually I won't want to use two cheat meals every week. It's tricky, for a long time I have felt that even though my weight is physical, the battle is going to be won or lost in my mind.

My plan worked during lunch today, we served tater-tot casserole and it really smelled good! I told myself, if I really want some I can make it and have it for one of my meals, that I like mine better anyway. It worked, I had a banana instead. Time will tell if this is a good plan long term for me.

Exciting news! My brother Dylan James has posted a few songs on youtube. If you click on his name it will take you to one of my favorites, Play Me by Neil Diamond.

I am going to weigh on Friday, I hope there will be a loss. As long as I am moving in the right direction, I don't mind moving a little slower if it means I stay in the game longer.
