I really messed up this past weekend and I'm having a hard time trying not to beat myself up about it. I did gain, but then I quickly lost it right away. I just feel like I should be making more progress. I'm vowing to have a great "healthy eating" day today. I'm off to a great start. Also I feel great about my writing. My hubpages is doing great. I'm getting more followers and meeting interesting writers. I do have a lot to do today. I've posted Faith and I am strong on my blogs. I like to post a poem on each thing I write. Instead I'm going to leave you with a excerpt of a chapter in the book I'm writing.
Here goes:
My house seems foreign to me, it feels stale and cold. I reach for the light switch in the darkness. Clumsily I lug my suitcase up the stairs. I pass the closed doors of my children’s rooms. The wheels of the suitcase running against the hard wood floor come to an abrupt stop. I reach for the door knob and I’m surprised by what I see. The bed isn’t made and my clothes are all over the room. There are bags, purses and suitcases spread on the side of my bed and on my dresser. I remember being in a hurry to leave with Ben. If Joe had been here I would of made the bed and I wouldn’t of made such a mess. He hated to leave the bed un-made and he hated the way I packed. My cell phone rings in my purse. I can’t find it, I begin to take everything out of my purse. Wallet, make up bag, keys, gum, glasses, lotion, hand sanitizer. Aha! There it is!
This is just a small paragraph taken from my book. Does it make you want to read more? My goal is to finish this book this year. I hope you all like it.

Progress not perfection on eating healthy. Whoa, I loved every word of what you shared of your book.
