1.  Reiterate my goal(s) and where I stand in reference to this goal.

- I want to focus in on this.  I have definitely floundered and done poorly all around.  I want to focus this coming week on not eating more than one sweet a week.  Also I want to focus on portion control and making healthy food choices.


2.  Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

-  I will only eat one sweet/dessert each week
        * I will not cave and have something just because those around me indulge
-  I will learn more about portions and portion control
        * No second and smaller portions; avoid eating out. 
-  Drink more water; drink water when I want to snack 

3.  Try to motivate others to join in on trying to become more healthy.

-  My sister and I signed up for a Mud Run (5k) in early September.  Looking forward to this.


4.  Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I've tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out, a photo update of my weight loss or anything else I feel like sharing.
-  I have been a slug this week so no words or wisdom to really share.  I need to go refill my thyroid medicine as I know this will effect how I feel and my weight if I put it off.
