First let me begin by apologising for yesterdays post. I was so depressed and upset. I'm leaving it up though. I did not cheat and I was at the point where I normally would have. It's better that you see that part of me too. I promised honestly, and that's really what I give...even if there was a little too much of it yesterday lol.
I had chicken breast and carrots for lunch, of course the usual coffee for breakfast. The 10am snack, and 3pm snack were apples, and dinner was lean beef and broccoli. I drank all of my water and got through the day feeling much, much better. I feel better when I'm doing nice things for others so I did a bunch of anonymous random acts of kindness that varied from letting people into traffic to putting a few bucks into charities to entering a contest to win things for a friend in need... It made me feel so much better.
Work went smoothly, dinner went fine...I still feel the overwhelming sense of loneliness. I'm not sure why.
A funny thing happened though. As I've mentioned I'm trying to help my husband watch what he eats too for his health purposes. Today he comes home- complains about the beautiful salad I made him for dinner and tells me that he went into the Deli across the street from his job for lunch. Then he proceeds to tell me (get this) that he chose a balanced meal based upon the theory regarding the food pyramid.
This caught my interest. I was pleasantly surprised...almost...he then explained that the roast beef and provolone hero on the whole grain bread accompanied by an orange soda covered it all. Before I could reconnect my jaw he explained that Roast beef was lean meat, provolone was dairy, vegetables and oil were on it, the bread was thick but whole grain and orange soda was the fruit.
I had no words....
He then laughed out loud telling me that the look on my face was priceless and that he'd had a grilled chicken salad from the Deli.
Very funny, I said.
But I was relieved. At least he's trying. It probably took him all day to come up with that scenario knowing full well I'd be...well...let's just say stunned and leave it at that. I changed our salad to broccoli and he was happier. Gees. See you next blog.
