Day Forty-two

2/7/2010

The meds are finally kicking in and although I am still coughing I was able to sit through church mostly quietly. We all went out to eat afterwards and I ate from the salad bar watching everyone else devour pizza but I did not feel deprived. I thoroughly enjoyed the company and time out. In the afternoon I had errands and then over to a friend's house to plan for an Alaskan cruise I will be taking in late July. That is something that will help motivate me in this whole diet plan! Breakfast was cottage cheese; lunch was salad; some peanuts for mid afternoon snack; dinner was hamburger patties. The most difficult part of today was resisting all the Superbowl food at my mom's house. I tasted the guac but that was about it...I adore chips and dip, so, resisting was a little harder but it is becoming a regular habit. My darling sister did a little shopping for me and helped get some of my essentials-she is such a godsend in my life and my biggest cheerleader. That reminds me how grateful I am for all my friends and family that are cheering me on. When I posted on FB my initial weight loss I was overwhelmed by all the well wishes and encouragement. Thanks God for using others to keep me on track. Good night!
