Goals check in

Well here we are at the end of Jnuary. I have done well with the 400 calories meals except for the last meal of the day:  MY DOWN FALL!!!  Laura and I are exercising in the school weigh room on Monday's and Fridays.  I am still not where I want to be in terms of my exercise plan. 

I spoke to Greg C. today who was the director at the school I used to work at.  He reminded me of something that I forget:  The only person I can control is myself.  So I am saying it again to reinforce it: The only person I can control is myself.  Have I done a good job today?  Have I done my best?  I can not control what others choose to do or choose not to do.  PEACE
