To say I am in a bad mood today would be a gross understatement. I am not really interested in any sort of interaction with the rest of my fellow humans.
I mucked yesterday up. I ate some chips which obviously aren't on my meal plan. I also ate when I got home late last night. I was not not feeling good physically and just took it upon myself to eat. I should have checked with Phil and let him know, but I didnt.
Despite feeling like an Ogre today I did start my day off positive.
*I got up and prayed, meditated and worked on my vocal training
*I submitted my meal plan
*I did my gratitude and words of encouragement
*I wrote here on my blog
Ill work on making the best of the day regardless of how I feel.
About Me
- Greg
- Its day 1 of 2013. Will this be any different than yesterday? That depends on the actions I take today. I struggle with many health problems, I teeter on the edge of self-destruction, can I pull myself back? My life is broken, and I need to find the strength and courage to fix it. My physical, spiritual, and mental states are in shambles from years of addiction and self abuse. Food is my main drug of choice and it is killing me. My body is slowly breaking down due to the food abuse. If I have any hope of seeing tomorrow I need to start taking actions now. I welcome you to follow me on this journey as I struggle to find my way, to silence the demons within me, and find peace and serenity in my life. I can do this IF I am willing to put the work into it. I will share my trials and tribulations, success's and failures. Perhaps I can find a way to save my own life, and if it can help someone else with the same struggles, it would make it all the better This will be a chronicle of my journey to better health, better life, and happiness.

count on me.7.17.13
Good morning
Yesterday went
well. I was abstinent. I contact Phil before and after 3 meals,
snacks were ok
Today I am going
to a rock concert. I did my meal plan and I am set. If anything
arises I will contact Phil. I do not know if my phone will work at the
concert venue. My meals should all happen before or after so that should
not be an issue. I will not eat any food sold at the venue unless an
emergency arises, I do not see that happening. I will take snacks and
water with me, there is no reason to eat anything aside from them.
Goals for the
day
Pray
Submit meal plan
(done)
Pray before and
after my meals
Text Phil before
and after my meals
Pray
Be of service
where I can
Do something for
my recovery every hour" To forgive is powerful. To be forgiven is priceless. To embody the two is a blessing."

Ghost of Days gone by.7.16.13
Good morning
I was abstinent yesterday. I followed my meal plan and I
contacted Phil before and after all 3 of my meals.
I asked Phil’s guidance on a
rock concert I am going to on WED and he shared with me what he did in similar
situations and it was very helpful.
Tomorrow is going to be a
long day. I’ll get up about 4 am, go to work. Go home and get
packed to leave about noon. If I am lucky I'll get a short nap in
the afternoon and head over to the concert venue about 6. We will be in
there for 6-8 hours. It’s going to be a bit challenging but I feel it’s
doable. I will take my own snacks into the venue. Being diabetic
and needing meds and other things I am allowed to take a bag in with me,
normally those are forbidden so I feel grateful at that.
I will have 4 meals and 2
snacks tomorrow instead of my customary 3/2. This is due to the
length of my day. I’ll be up about 20 hours or so. All meals/snacks
will be planned out unless something totally unforeseen comes up, I do not
anticipate anything like that.
Goals for the day
*Pray
*submit meal plan (done)
*pray before and after my meals
*text Phil before and after my
meals
*pray
*be of service where I can
*do something for my recovery
every hour; I will use the alarm/calendar on my phone to help me with this.
*pray

Life.wont.wait.7.10.13
Yesterday was a pretty good day for me. My food was decent enough. I stayed away from things I should not have, there was a little temptation.
I need to incorporate exercise into my plan, I get some just by lugging around all the weight I carry, but I need to start doing more. I also need to start getting back on track using my sparkpeople page and myfitnesspal.com and my phone app. These help me to keep my food in perspective.
I was up late last night so I slept in till the last possible minute. I did not start my day with my usual meditation and prayer. I will go do that when I am done here. I was going to go back to bed, however now that I am up I might as well stay up and try to accomplish as much as I can today.
Life has changed and all I had to do was stop trying to run my world and trust in something greater than myself, and listen to people who have come before me.
Have a great day
Greg

Slip sliding away.7.8.13
Hello
I had a bit of slip yesterday, I found myself putting chips in my mouth. Chips are one of my trigger foods and not something I should be having. I didn't eat as many as I usually did so that was a small victory. I have to be more on my toes and reach out for help when these things happen. I cannot continue to let these little slip ups occur, there is no reason or excuse for it. I know better and I need to either pray or reach out for help. The rest of my day went well.

Report.7.6.13
I had a good day yesterday. It was busy and I didn't keep to my plan as much as I would have liked too but I didn't overeat yesterday so I count it as a victory. Its going to be super hot again today, I just need to stick to the plan and do the work.

A day of independence.7.5.13
Hello
I hope you had a good 4th of July if you were in the US and I hope you had a wonderful Thursday in whatever part of the world your in.
Yesterday was a good day for me. The food did not win. I could have done better on some fronts however in the grand scheme of things I did a pretty decent job.
I did have a taste of soda and a taste of dessert that got on my finger as I was packing it up for other people. I cannot allow slips like this to happen very often, I do count yesterday as a victory through. Last year I just said the hell with it and ate whatever I wanted.
I didn't put together a meal plan for yesterday which was dangerous for me to be doing, but regardless I had a decent day. It was a deposit in the reclaiming my life account.
Have a wonderful day!!
