February 5, 2011 2nd Entry

The second half of the day went well. We went mattress shopping and then walked around the mall because I felt like we should get some kind of exercise in. My husband was willing. I put him on a modified version of the diet I am on, it's a cross between this one and the previous one. He is a lot larger than me- so 'one size cannot fit all' if you get my drift.
I had coffee for breakfast with a squirt of milk for color. I had an orange at 10am. Lunch was left over tenderloin and carrots, 3pm I was still out so I ate another orange at 5pm while I cooked dinner. Dinner was at 6:30pm and we had grilled chicken salad. Mine consisted of lettuce, cucumbers and strips of chicken breast-4oz worth. My husbands was 6 oz worth and I added tomatoes and cheese grated to give it flavor. He added dressing. I did not. He had grapes with his at my insistence as well. It filled him up and he didn't have cookies. I remain stricter than him, but his will work too. The other diet worked, don't misunderstand. I just plateaued. To quote my sister in law- I'm shaking things up to change it up! I like that statement.
While we were wandering through the mall I spotted a build a bear store. There were a hundred kids. I accidentally drifted off into the world where I write things in my head, and saw/wrote a commercial for them. I actually emailed the idea to the marketing director. I have no idea if they will use it or not, but I figured what the heck...maybe they'll like it.
It's 8:15 pm and I have to admit I'm feeling very tired. I had a migraine this morning. 6 extra strength Tylenol later it finally subsided. It takes the wind right out of my sails when that happens. A young man from India friended me on facebook. What a polite young man. He calls me sister. So sweet. That was really the two highlights of my day. Except that my husband did tell me that the chicken was done perfectly- that was nice. ...And surprising....
I'll sign off now- for dessert I made Diet jello. I'm not having any, but he needs his sweet snack before he goes to bed. Yes- he IS spoiled before you ask. See you next blog. ;-)
