Weight Loss Wednesday

I had a rough day yesterday. I think the hardest since I started this whole weightloss journey. I found myself really wanting all the bad stuff and giving in sometimes. It is hard because once I started on the slippery slope to temptation it is just so hard to hold back. I am going to the gym this morning. Lets hope that helps some.

Here are some good low points recipes. Share your too:
