January 12, 2010 Diet Blog

It was a busy day...a real elevator ride right to the end. Bad-good-bad-good...you get the idea. It's amazing that people who are not doing what they are supposed to be doing in their own lives decide they know about what other people should be doing in theirs. In the last seconds of my day at work I faced that exact dilemma with a co-worker. One I love but who thinks she knows everything about how my job works when clearly she knows zilch. My co-worker at the front desk and I were both taken back by it...meanwhile when needed to do her own job she refused twice today upsetting yet another person and she had more personal calls than the Lord had prayers. I left feeling aggravated but I sang in the car as a deterrent to it and believe it or not I felt better.
Once home I got news that the last of the "Santa's Elf" gifts was received and the person is thrilled but of course wondering who the mysterious elf may be. It's too cute- the reactions I mean and luckily I know for a fact that none of them visit this blog (purposeful act). I think that God would approve. I really like doing nice things for others. My husband joked that I will need to turn over any and all of the book money when we get rich so that we can do what we are setting out to do when we become best selling on a global scale. He has to take it from me because I'll find people that I think need it or they'll find me is what he actually said and then I'll have none for SIDS. He's right too.... The outcome is that I feel so very very blessed today because of that. I see them smiling in my head. I like to feel that. And now...they too have an awesome story to tell...
I stuck to the diet and I'm feeling better. My stomach aches today. It's strange. At one point I thought I might be getting a urinary tract infection because it felt like that but I drank a lot of water and short of a small stomach ache I'm fine.
My husband purchased an Elton John documentary with a gift card that he got as a Christmas gift. It was such a good show. One of my favorite songs is I'm still standing. He said the funniest thing about Celene Dion though. He said that he was performing in the place in Las Vegas that was built especially for her and how much he loved her and what a good sense of humor she has and a bunch of things like that. Then he added a defensive but...with a pause and added that on behalf of all of us in the world that have struggled with their weight throughout their entire life...he hates her. I nearly choked on my drink. I laughed. It's true. Shes thin, beautiful, rich, famous....everything I hope to be through my books, PLUS NATURALLY THIN! ...Not fair ;-).
I'll sign off on that note because I cannot top it no matter what I write- Elton gets today's vote for best material in my blog! Keep the faith. If you can make someone else feel good do it- it's such a rush as they say! And 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 you having a good time. Stay positive...were in this together so lets DO IT! See you next blog! ;-)
