Here we go again

It seems I have to continually reinvent myself when it comes to food journaling and what keeps me motivated. I was doing so awesome writing everything down, focusing and having great willpower. Then BAM! Along came Easter, followed by some serious PMS. So, I'm going to start posting my food again on this blog. I have a few friends I know will check it out, and I'm hoping the extra accountability will get me back where I need to be. Today has already been a better day - lets hope it's a sign of things to come:)
