Shit! I need to learn how to count, I thought I was right on target with 25 points for the day, looks like I was over! Tomorrow is very important.

Right on target again. Friday-Sunday is my weak spot when it comes to eating. I must stay strong this weekend. I got on the scale today and I am down this week, so I need to go out there the next three days and make it count for Sunday's weigh-in!
