October 6, 2009 Diet Blog

It was a long and busy day, or at least it seemed that way. I felt seriously fatigued all day. I'm not depressed or sad but I am listless and that's really not like me. I'm chalking it up to the body conditioning class and the changes in the weather, but who knows.
I had a bagel for breakfast. It had no butter. I just ate it plain. I skipped 10am snack for it. I had a Smart Ones and a lite n fit yogurt for lunch, no 3pm snack, wheat noodles in sauce for dinner, wheat thins and a yogurt for snack and then my husband made diet jello pudding. It was chocolate and although I wasn't hungry I had that too.
On the way out of work my fellow college-mate from last year's writing class stopped me to ask for my help. She has a book idea and 'someone' is interested according to her. She wants me to help her write it. She is/was always impressed by my writing. I think she means ghost write but we are only in the discussion phase so we'll see. I said that I would, of course.
My prom date from high school and I have become friends again through face book after many years estranged. He is a comedian, performer, singer, writer.... He has also asked me to participate in a project. We discussed it a little bit tonight. My brain is churning around several thoughts. I'm kind of excited about it. It's different from my usual works but I like different.
Oprah is having a karaoke contest too! Naturally I forwarded the information to all of my friends that sing pretty well. The bulk of them laughed at me and said I was crazy. They are right, of course. Still, there is one that definitely wants to try and one that might try to be in the contest. I hope they do. Why not them? You can't win it if you are not in it as they say.
I feel that way about dieting too. You can't win it if you don't even try. If you fail- so what. Try again until it takes. If you slip up- and Lord knows as well as you that I have, begin again as soon as you are able. It's a good positive philosophy.
So things are looking up for me creativity-wise. I like it. I hope that these seeds grow into something amazing. I hope my book takes off when it finally comes out too. That is actually within reach at long last! If you 'google' my name you can read about it on the publisher's website if you are so inclined. Like I said- I welcome that! These are two of my fondest dreams.
Dreams are a good thing. What are yours? We should focus on them instead of food or beating ourselves up over food issues. It's much healthier and I think we would be much happier. What is your opinion? If you'd like to share a dream or two with me, I'd love it!
I will sign off here 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 your having a good time. Stay positive. See you tomorrow....I'm heading off into the land of slumber and dreams. ;-)
