Day 11

Feelin a little down on myself today about weight loss...I've been stickin to my diet, but I don't feel like I'm goin anywhere.

I need to exercise more but I keep feelin so worn out and when I have a good time to do it, its usually after dinner when I feel too full!

1 BITE of cinnamon coffee crumb cake--1pt. (my grandma got this and she offered me half, but I was good and only took 1 single bite! The entire slice has 11 points in it, so I figured that it was about 11 bites meaning I had 1pt.)
