The Circle of My Life

Just when I feel like I'm getting on top of doing things right, trying to stay motivated, just begining to do things a tiny bit better, what comes along? Something or some things to sabotage it. It's in the form of a holiday, birthday, season, reason, etc. Yep, I did start doing well. Then BAM. Trauma, stress, sadness, more stress and, last but not least, HALLOWEEN. I love Halloween Day but it is full of temptation! Preparing the fam's favorite food for this has all of the makings of failure (in the diet world, i mean). Success in the kitchen equals failure on the diet front in my world. Homemade buttermilk scones. Can't pass that up. At least my friend Shirley did bring veggies to offset the ridiculously high caloric content of said scones. Bless her heart for trying. "Trying" being the operative word.

Well, November is here. Well, I'll try, try, try once again. At least until Thanksgiving. Then I'll start it all over again. It's the circle of my life. A circle divided into little pie shaped pieces. Of course, it's pie.
