Eric’s Dream

Finished the day out pretty good.  I ate a southwest chicken salad from McDonald’s.  I love those.  I did have a couple of bites of my youngest’s frosty from Wendy’s….because it was melting and she was about to spill it if I didn’t intervene….seriously =).   I also had 4 potatoe ole’s from my oldest’s meal [...]

A Day of Transition….Diet Style

Here I am again……
I am back at the old job as a temp and my old habits have returned…
