And that kind of gives me a head start.<br /><br />It also seems less daunting to me, not to have to start over, but to KEEP GOING. <br /><br />Oh well, like I said, maybe it's just semantics, LOL!<br /><br />I hope your 10 step talk goes wonderfully. <br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-72026560283038739152010-10-28T11:01:17.460-07:002010-10-28T11:01:17.460-07:00Oy, I'm late to the party... for some reason y...Oy, I'm late to the party... for some reason your post didn't show up in my reader! By now the AA speech is well over and I'm assuming it was fabulous simply because I'm sure it was. Your description of the waistband of your work pants made me Laugh. Out. Loud. So been there. I'm thinking it's a middle age thing with the thickening waist and all. Ah well.<br /><br />I hope today has been better for you. I know you already read my post today so you know my thought is that you should keep moving forward and stop going back to places you've already been.<br /><br />I'm cheering for you Leslie!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974376008651624094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-49134507627523421992010-10-28T09:59:30.298-07:002010-10-28T09:59:30.298-07:00Hey girl!

I had 1/4 of the whole squash, which was a small squash as far as butternuts go...figured it to be about 1 cup. And just so dang good. It has almost a light buttery taste to it, w/o adding any butter to it. Love it!! It's also good w/ a little brown sugar and butter on it, but I don't recommend doing that to it if you're going to have the whole squash to yourself....you'll eat it all like I would, lmao....but if you're sharing with family...then adding the brown sugar and butter...just a tad, makes it almost like a dessert....like sweet potato bake. Oh my heavens, I baked 3 small sweet potatoes this week also....they are 103 calories each due to their small size....I put just a tad of ICBINB on them...my goodness....so dang good. I brought another 1/4 of the butternut in for Billie to eat....she was hesitant because she'd never tried it...but she ate the whole thing, said how good it was, and is going to buy it and cook it herself now, lol. I just love the fall/winter squashes....going to bake an acorn squash this weekend! :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-10875005030471478152010-10-27T19:22:33.957-07:002010-10-27T19:22:33.957-07:00Each day is a new beginning, a fresh start.

He replied, "Yeah, but the trick is, always get up one more time than you are down." Not always the most fun, but you will do it.

The trick is not to wait too long to start again after a lapse. That way, it won't get away from us.<br /><br />I have also had to start again, this week,k after having a "not so good" weekend, but it's better than going in the other direction. I posted about it today. Hang in there--we're all doing this together.E.
