     I did great on Tuesday. I managed to eat well all day and did not eat after I ate dinner at 6:00 PM. At dinner I also only ate one plate of food. In addition, after dinner I worked out on the treadmill for 36 minutes with a combination of walking and jogging with the majority of it being jogging.
    Wednesday , however was a different story. I did well at breakfast, but we had a part for a coworker so the ice cream and cake were the start. I also ate heavier at lunch than I have for a while because I had a burger. For dinner we had dinner at the church and I did OK there because I only had the one plate. The biggest thing was that I did not get to workout yesterday and had a big spurge with the cake and ice cream.
    So far today is going great. I had a bowl of oatmeal with some cranberries in it for breakfast. For lunch I had some left over hamburger helper that was made with ground turkey and I had a snack size bag of baked ruffles potato chips. When I get home tonight I am already making plans to only eat one plate at dinner. After dinner we will have to go to open house at the school . After the open house I am planning on working out on the treadmill which will help with my appetite if I feel overly hungry. If I am feeling hungry I will start by drinking a large cup of water and then if necessary I will eat three almonds to take the edge off the hunger.  Overall I am trying to get back to the discipline I had previously.
     My progress has been good and I am still sticking to my healthier lifestyle, but I am trying to return to the discipline of eating well planned meals and working out regularly as well. I thank God for his help and will continue to keep you guys updated.
