Day 9

Today has been another super busy Tuesday. Today after work not only did I need to go for a quick run but I also had to take SAM to get her prom dress fitted before I took her to dance and then head to bible study. After bible study I have a simulcast meeting and I got home after 9. Good thing I made soup in the crock pot today because there was no time for dinner. I actually fixed me a to-go bowl before heading out the door and I ate it in the church parking lot before bible study. Tuesday is always a tuff day for me. Tonight I find myself really wanting to eat something bad for me. I got it so bad that when SAM told me she wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch I told her she had to make it herself. She was shocked and I told her “I am sorry I am having a moment and I just cannot fix your sandwich without sticking my whole head in the peanut butter jar.” She said “you are having a food moment.” Yep! That is what I am having. So I made my rounds in the kitchen very quickly and got out. Basically I got the coffee made and the soup in the fridge and then got out.


I am afraid this too is going to have to be short and sweet because going to be is best thing for this tired worn out mommy to do.


I will say that I have played around with my blog page some today and figured how to add pages. I have now added a recipe page and I will try and put up some of my favorite recipes I find. This blogging thing has been fun playing around with and it has been a great accountability tool. Just today I went to a “birthday party” at work for a coworker. There was a triple brownie birthday cake. I had really considered eating just 2 bites of it. (yes it would be cheating during the 1st 17 days) I have read in a couple different places that the 1st 2 bites of anything is the most enjoyable. Anything after that is not as tasty and I was fine with eating 2 bites. No guilt in it for me. However, 1st I thought about how upset my hubby would be if I cheated. Then I thought what if one of those folks in the room has been reading my blog. . . sure enough a few minutes later another person came in and said “is that on your diet?” Lucky for me I got to say “I am not eating cake – I have a bag of apple slices”. Yeah me. . . so this blog helped me to make a better decision because I knew I couldn’t lie here! So thank you guys for reading this.
