Happy Friday-

It is a little gloomy here,loods like it is going to rain. Dh told me to go and get some more clothes today because everything I put on is too big for me. But I hate to get out when it is raining so I think I will wait until next week. Maybe Monday, cause my dd comes that day and we can just make a mother daughter day of it.

I have noticed that for the last couple of days I have not been drinking as much water as I should so I am going to make an effort to drink 5 bottles of water today, I think that will be what is recommeded.

I just finshed my exercise, I did the 4 mile walk.

I took my chicken out to defrost, when it defrosts I am going to grillit in small strips and put it on salads. Don't that sound delicious?

Menu-----

breakfast -oatmeal

lunch -salad

supper-I am not sure yet I will have to think about it and post later when I have made up my mind.

snack-dry cereal

Exercise-4 mile walk

I will check in later.

It's really gloomy up here, too, all misty and gray.

I'm so very proud of you, Audra. You have done so well on your mission, and when you have had minor missteps, you haven't let it get you down - you just keep going.

I haven't made any effort at all this week. None. I haven't even tried to do my exercising, and I'm starting to feel big again.

Breakfast today is going to be oatmeal. Lunch, we are going to the chinese buffet. That has pros and cons - the pros are that I can be very selective about what I get (and I like the dishes with lots of broccoli), and how much I eat. I don't normally have more than one plate when we go there, anyway, so I'm not as concerned about that, but even that can be more than what I might usually eat for lunch. And they have crab rangoons. I love crab rangoons. Dinner, I don't know about. Probably spaghetti, if that sounds good to the girls, since hubby won't be home. I'm out of most of my veggies, and my salad is all gone, but I can't go to the store until next week. I love salad with chicken breast cut up on it. Yum. When I make chicken, I usually make an extra piece just for that for my lunch the next day.

Audra, as to the ghost - my brother's friend was staying overnight at his future sil's house. He woke up in the night, and saw something in his room. He decided at first that it was just a reflection of light from outside, then realized that there wasn't any light from outside to make the reflection (it was during the eclipse). Being a man, he forced himself to roll over and go back to sleep. The next morning, his future sil asked if he'd seen the ghost. She's been seeing it since she was little, but her parents don't know it is there. It is a man, who she said usually appears to be sitting in the closet, but walks down the hall and through some of the rooms. She did some research and found out that a man had killed himself there some years before her parents bought the house, so figures it is him.

3:39 pm

The rain never came, so my dd called and said she was on the way and for me to get dressed cause we were going out. We went shopping I did not find anything to wear, just around , that was relatively cheap. I just am not going to pay a lot of money for a t shirt that I am just going to wear while I clean house.

I did find a mans sleeveless t for 3 dollars and I bought it to exercise in. It is a sports shirt and has the tiny holes in it. I thought it would breathe when I start working up a sweat. We went to catos but I did not find anything in there .

Then we went to BK for lunch and I had a grilled chicken salad, it was delicious.We had almost finished eating and I looked up and saw my dh come in. He saw the car and decided to have lunch with us. I really enjoyed him eating with us.

While we were in walmart I bought him a box of chocolate covered cherries, that is his favorite candy. I am sure i will eat one of those later. They are not my favorite but I do like them.

That has been my day so far, I hope everyone has had a terrific day, and i will check in later.

Jasmine sometimes I really have to give myself a talking to. " I know that a year is going to go by, and I have control over me, when that year goes by I can either be littler or not. It is in my control."

This board has helped me out so much. I have become more accountable to myself. I have become more knowledgeable about the foods and there nutritional values.


Maybe we all need to take a break from the mission occasionally. I wish I could tell you something that would help you, but I don't know what to say. i know that I was like that for yrs. and yrs. I would get so disgusted with the way i looked that I would go on a diet and exercise and i would lose weght. but then I would go off the diet. This time i just got worried about my health. I worried about strokes and heart attacks.

I started eating better then started exercising then stopped smoking. I do feel better. I just hope I did not wait too long.

I will check in later.

9:30 PM

I had a terrible headache after I checked in the last time. I am sure it is a sinus headache. I took some tylenol sinus and anfte a short while (30 minutes) the headache went away but it left me so tired.

So dh bought supper, not real bad he went a got a sub. I don't think it was terriby high in calories. and after I ate that, I ate one chocolate covered cherry. I nibbled on it and nibbled on it untill the last of it had melted in my fingers. But I made that thing last, and I did not eat another one.

Talk to you later.
