Well I'm going to start at the end of my workday with this Blog because the oddest thing happened. I got out of the elevator saying goodbye to my coworkers and headed to my car. Nothing looked unusual until I went around to the drivers side of the car. There was a heart shaped balloon tied to my door handle that said 'I miss you' on it. I looked around for any sign of who it might be. It was only looped around so I was able to untie it relatively easily.
When I got home my husband was not here. I decided to send the balloon to heaven carrying a kiss from me for my little girl. I kissed it and let it go. Short of it being on my car by mistake I have no idea who would've put it there. So my sweet angel in heaven was the ultimate recipient. I text a few people like several BFF's and sent a few face book private messages out to people that I thought may have done it; may know who might have done it or that I thought would thoroughly enjoy my latest saga. My very Best BFF suggested the name of someone she thought it may be. I text that person too, for the first time in a long time. They didn't respond. Believe me when I tell you if it was THAT person they would've taken credit for that sweet, sensitive, loving, thoughtful gesture. I'm guessing it wasn't them. But its too late. I already text.... The non-response is that persons usual way. I knew that but for a split second in my brain and my best BFF's it made sense. She still thinks it. No one copped to it tho and so I think it may have been tied to my car in error after all. I think if someone went that far they would've come forward knowing I've found it by now. Still...it was very cool. You know that's making it into one of my books!
I had a busy day but a good one at work. There was drama but it happened to my friends in a different department this time. Whew! It's hard sometimes. I had weight control Oatmeal for breakfast, 6 silver dollar sized rice cakes for snack, chicken breast, green beans and a plumb for lunch, no 3pm snack because I wasn't hungry and wheat noodles in low fat sauce for dinner. I had a lite n fit yogurt 4 late snack just now. I did good today. I held my ground and it was HARD-HARD-HARD! Today's party had every one of my favorite junk foods. I didn't eat one bite.
My coworker mentioned that she had to go and take a bone density test recommended by her doctor. The last one had been about 7 years before this. She had gained 30 pounds and shrunk one inch. For her that was the 'aha moment' it took to open her eyes and really make her see that she needs to do something to take care of herself better. She partied with everyone and will begin again tomorrow. I like that she didn't feel guilt telling me that. I can't fix other people's weight but I'm here to be a tool so that they can fix what needs fixing themselves. I'm routing for her...and for you and me too.
There was apparently a news reporter/doctor on recently that had their heart tested after eating good and bad foods to see what the immediate results would be. I didn't see it but a coworker did. She said that the reporter/doctor ate healthy food first and when she was tested everything was working great. Her arteries expanded and contracted with health and ease. This same person then ate a bacon cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, a milkshake and whatever other horrible thing she could find and was tested right away again. The arteries could not expand and contract properly and her normally healthy system was completely thrown off. The point was that if that could happen in just a short time after eating one meal of junk food, can you imagine what would happen after years of abuse? I was astounded as was she. I was glad that I clung to my diet. I'm still glad.
I'll end on that note reminding you that you look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having a good time. Stay positive!
...and if that balloon on my car was for me and it was you, and you feel that way...please step up. It was so nice. Thank you...for whatever reason you find yourself in the position of missing me...we'll figure out how to fix it, apologise for it, explain it or just move past it. The gift was lovely.
Have a good night everyone. I'll see you tomorrow. I have a book that I want to tell you about. ;-)
