November 21, 2009 Diet Blog

I did the usual Saturday routine- cleaning the castle, grocery shopping etc. I dressed nicely because I wanted to feel good about myself. Later I went to my best BFF's because we were going to run some errands. While out, we stopped at the wine store for a wine tasting demonstration. We tried several different kinds and purchased some for the holidays. We also went to the fashion center mall and to Bed, Bath and Beyond.
I ended up hanging out with her until 4pm, because her youngest son's football game- the equivalent to the middle school Superbowl was at 5:30. My husband and I were going to attend, of course. We had to get ready, meaning warm clothes. My Godson is one of the youngest boys picked for the team as a fifth grader. He is the center. He snaps or hikes the ball and basically bowls over the bigger kids on the front line of the other team. He was in for the entire game as opposed to his high school brother who blew out a knee and was benched.
I have to be honest and repeat yesterday's take on the situation; admitting that I am new to the football world. Truthfully, I went because I love them-because I've watched them grow and because I believe in supporting children-especially those that have a dwelling place in my heart. That being said- it was a very exciting game.
I found myself yelling and cheering along with what I once would have described as the loud, obnoxious parents. In the last 54 seconds of the game, my Godson's team made a touchdown out of no where! The crowd- and we went wild. It turned out to be the winning touchdown of the game. They won the Superbowl two years in a row. Last year I was very sick so I did not see. This year, I am well. Thank heaven I got to be there.
My entire body aches from the cold of two nights and sitting outside in it. My husband is also achy. We both passed out right away, which is why I'm writing the blog this morning- Sunday morning.
I got the paperwork for the bead behind the ears diet to use for my paper. I'm going to compare and contrast several diets to the food pyramid put out by the American Medical Association. I'm using Atkins diet as well- an idea of my coworkers, and the weight watcher's diet plan. I'm going to use that same coworkers book on healing foods too. The paper should be good. I'm interested in the subject matter and that's always a plus. I will try to post it for you but I am unsure if I will be able to do that.
You may or may not have noticed that I finally figured out how to get a picture up for you to see. It's a decieving picture though. I had my make up professionally done and my hair had just been done at the beauty salon. It's the only one I could figure out how to put up though, so at least you can see what I look like done up. Hope you like it.
I had a bagel with light butter for breakfast- no snacks, no lunch. I had multi grain noodles in sauce for dinner. A big hot chocolate at the game and tasted wines. Not a good diet day. Dinner at my son's on Sunday. This will be our Thanksgiving. See you next blog! ;-)
