My goodness- the moon is so beautiful and bright against the tiel blue sky tonight. It was absolutely breathtaking as I walked out of the college. I made a wish upon the first star. I hope it comes true.
Without further adieu I weighed in today. I lost nine pounds. That equals out to a smidgen over 2 pounds a week. I'm very happy with the outcome but really, I don't want to be all about the numbers so I'm just going to leave this alone and move on.
The cutest thing happened today. My husband very proudly came to me and told me that he had eaten healthy all day and was so pleased with himself. As I prepared dinner, he listed his foods in the order that he'd had them; oatmeal for breakfast, salmon and green beans for lunch, two yogurts for snacks...and a cookie he added quickly as he slipped out of the room. I had to smile. How adorable was that? A cookie? I asked him to repeat the last item while following him into our living room. He had thought he'd slipped it past me I guess. It was only one...and it was oatmeal he replied innocently referring to the cookie. I couldn't help but laugh. I assured him that one cookie was fine. It's 6 or the entire bag that is no good. Anything is okay in moderation. Only you know what you can handle. I said that I was very proud of him for trying so hard. It's not easy. I can't believe I influenced him. How cool is that?!
As far as my day went, I actually forgot to eat breakfast. yes...really. I guess I was unnerved by the scale. I had 6 rice cakes for snack and a smart ones and grapes and carrot sticks for lunch. Then steak for dinner with green beans. Later I had a yogurt and wheat thins for a snack. Body conditioning class was tonight. I did 40 minutes on the treadmil. I'm feeling pretty good about that. I'm keeping up pretty good I think.
I tried the meditative walking idea from 'First for Women" magazine. My mind really drifted though, and I found myself reflecting about another time in my life and about a person that I was too innocent to realize that...well let's just say that they were not as innocent. Then I tried to use the ipod my husband gave me as a gift. It worked out okay and I was able to focus better on the music than I was on my thought process. I did talk to my angels a little bit. I need help with some other parts of my life and so I asked for assistance. I believe I've gotten it even as we speak.
I'll sign off on that note and head for the shower. Remember: 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 your having a good time. Stay positive. See you tomorrow. ;-)
