January 28, 2010 Diet Blog

Kicking butt and taking names!! I had a busy day at work, but not a bad one. It was decidedly a lot like Monday was. I have to admit that I was glad to see 4;30 come. I mailed out one of the Valentine's Joke gifts because it will take ten days to reach its destination if its anything like a regular letter. It is literally an envelope in an envelope in an envelope with a tiny card in the end saying "I wondered if you'd go all the way." No signature and I used their own return address! I laughed all of the way to the mailbox. The line is an inside joke and the victim is an old friend. We'll see if they guess who did it! Let the fun begin! I have several more ideas for family and friends too.
It's so cold outside that I could hardly breathe. The wind slapped my face, stung my forehead and iced up my tear filled eyes. It was awful to go the distance to the car after class tonight.
I was able to follow and understand the teacher. Well- I didn't understand the words he used but I read the book and followed the things he was doing on the board and I had a clue at the end of the night so I'm feeling kind of good about that. This weekend I'm going to go over everything that I learned again and see how I do.
My young PA friend wanted to come out this weekend but I had to say no. I'm so busy right now. I really need to get a lock on this school work and I want to remain strict on my diet, which will not happen if she comes. She was okay with it but I feel bad. Still, I had to do the right thing for me. It's RARE for me to do that but I just have to this time.
I think that "we" don't put ourselves first enough and that may play a huge part in the stress of our lives and in the comfort eating I often find myself involved in. I know that I really need to change that about me. If you do to post it in the comments section. I'd love to banter with you about how to change that. I think it would help me immensely.
I guess its like dieting in a way. One baby step at a time until it takes. Then move forward at your own pace. I may have taken my first baby step today. I'll keep you informed. I stuck to the strictness of my diet even in the face of the vending machines at college as my stomach growled heartily. I'm kind of proud of me tonight.
On that note I will say good night, but not before reminding you that you look the best that 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. See you next blog! ;-)
