   THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY: 
     
     I have gotten off track again and it is hard to keep track of what day of the week it is. My time line is winding down and already I fear my goals are not going to be entirely met. But, there is some good news. My eating habits have changed substantially and I don't believe I am going to have a problem keeping off the 12 or so pounds I have already lost. In fact, I still have hopes of reaching -20 pounds by the time I step off the plane in San Antonio. 
  
     I have also learned to perhaps not put so much on my plate for me to accomplish. Just as sometimes I expect too much from friends and family, I also have perhaps expected too much from me. Or, maybe that's just a means of coping with my failures. I have seen the man in the mirror. There are some images I really like, some I see beginning to fade and some coming into focus. If I go home healthier, a better husband and father, a more sensitive and caring friend - then I will have accomplished a great deal.

     My overall grade for today: C+ - sometimes it's okay to be average.

     How did you do?
