What worked / what didn’t:

I'll resume my sit-ups Monday to give my abs more time to fully heal (something was hurting in the wrong way the last couple times I did my sit-ups). I'll also resume daily walks once the weather warms up (cold air kills motivation). I went out with a friend for dinner and, while I usually just order a plate of stake, last night I modified a different entre. I got the steak, chicken, and shrimp with bell pepper and onion, and added a few tables spoons of queso. I felt bloated by the end of dinner - but assuming I keep that kind of "cheat" to a minimal, I'm not going to beat myself up. After all, I asked them to exclude the rice, beans, and tomatoes - so I did modify the meal to be closer to zero-carb. I haven't had any issues doing my daily bible reading...it's only been a few chapters a day, but I completed the book of Job this morning - great book, by the way!

One thought worth carrying forward:

I'm nearing the end of my 2nd week on this journey. I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still very positive that I'll be successful with all  7of my primary goals!
