Day Twenty-One

1/17/2010

I am writing a little early today because I know I will be out late and my favorite TV show premiers tonight (24) so...today has been OK! I ate some turkey meat for breakfast and was proud that I got it in within 1 hour of waking. I am needing to work on breakfast options, right now the fridge is nearly empty and I am working on the shopping list. It's hard when you are on the road everyday and you don't want things to spoil in the fridge. I had to get to church early since I lead worship and we needed to practice. Service was a blessing and worship went well. I had some chicken breast left over from the enchiladas cooked for my brother's family, so I made a huge salad with my organic field greens, chopped chicken breast, grape tomatoes and a sprinkle of mozz cheese. Tastes fabulous! My mom called and asked if I would bake cheesecake for my brother's birthday tonight since he has invited a huge herd over and she's not sure the cake she made will go far. "Absolutely", I told her since I know I have sever days of success in this area without any backsliding (thank God)!
I am planning to have a pedicure before I get my shopping done this afternoon and that is my celebratory "gift to self" for finishing THREE WEEKS with no major misshapes. Wow.
My greatest fear right now is going to step two...I am sort of at the half way point of step one and now it feels like it has flown by! I am so happy with how things are going with step 1, I am worried it will all come to a halt with step two...but I am trying to put faith in my teacher's proven success with this plan. God has not given a spirit of fear so, I am plowing ahead according to plan! This morning my sister said that she could tell that I had lost weight "in my face" and I can tell I have lost weight in my abs (thank GOD!!). I am looking forward to weighing in at Curves.
I bought all my supplements and have a pill box to organize and will start those tomorrow. I also have some work out clothes and plan to back enough to start my working out at Curves this week. There's a small part of me that feels like, "I should have already started!" but I am taking this slow and up until this week, didn't feel mentally like I could handle the working out or the supplements (I have a serious phobia about swallowing pills). I am looking forward to the new changes! An early Good Night!
