OK, I am in a better mood today. I feel a little bit better but still slightly worn down. My focus is coming back slowly but surely. I guess it is a good thing that this contest isn't a sprint. I have to keep reminding myself of that.   I think from now on I am going to find at least one positive thing to focus on. Tonight, I conquered the pizza monster. This one was tough and has been an arch enemy for a long time. It is like I stated in the beginning, portion control.   I only had two small pieces and for me that is a huge accomplishment. Pizza has been the main thing that I have been cheating with. I know that it is lame, but I am excited about this.   OK, that was one positive thing for the day. I could probably name some more, but I am really tired tonight. The treadmill did a number on me after work. I did stay on it longer today than any other time so far. Positive things all around!   OK everyone, I will talk to you all later. Have a nice night.   Keith
