"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~Theodore Roosevelt

Feeling good today :)

Feeling good today :) Weight down to 163.0. Interview at Scholastic. Cloudy weather. Great day yesterday. It's starting to feel like fall...And I don't even know all the reasons. I'm just happy.

I'm kind of amazed with myself for staying motivated so long. I've been trying to lose weight for over two months now. I'm down 8.9 pounds. Slow and I can't even see a difference. I have these quotes taped up all over my apartment. I love quotes. I read them sitting on the couch or while I'm doing my hair and make up or getting a meal ready. They're on the TV, the mirror, the cabinets, the light switches, and the fridge.

I also chew a lot of gum. I'm still learning to control the urge to snack for no reason. I go through a lot of gum. Though, I have found that I don't crave unhealthy food as much lately. Yeah, cookies sound good. One sounds like enough though. I can have just two or three pieces of chocolate or candy corn pumpkins. Last night we decided to pick dinner up on the way home. I'd been wanting to eat out but when I really thought about actually doing it--I didn't really want to. Nothing sounded worth the calories. None of it stuck out.

I got Wendy's. Man were those fries good. It's been 6 or 7 weeks. I've also gotten used to water. I don't even want soda. Juice is alright to taste. I don't drink milk anymore. I really, honestly just want water all the time. It's kind of exciting :)
