Final Update for Today. 1,013 Calories

Well, I made it through the day Tomorrow I will see if I can put the day all in one post.

My final snack was 100 calories of kettle corn. Yum!

I had a total of 1,013 calories (yes, I did break down and have the other half of that chocolate bar - some days are just like that).  I had 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, two servings of grain, two servings of protein, some healthy (and some not so healthy) fats and a little dairy. Plus 82 ounces of water and 3 glasses of green tea.

I did 20 minutes of weight / strength training and 30 minutes on the exercise bike.

See y'all tomorrow!

Choose for Yourselves Today

While up in the middle of the night because the dogs were playing too loudly and the house was too hot, I decided to get caught up on emails and Facebook.  I am amazed at all the comments about what occurred yesterday (Chick-Fil-A appreciation day). I am amazed at the overwhelming response and for some reason I was actually a little amazed at how misinformed some people are and at how people were able to twist what is happening.  I really shouldn't have been surprised, but I was. Many people went out to support a company that has always been known as a Christian company.  Other protested - either at one of the franchises, by boycotting the restaurant chain, and/or through social media.  Everyone had one thing in common: we all had the right to voice our opinions and beliefs on the subject.   Watching and listening, I discovered a few things.   First, why were people dining at Chick-Fil-A yesterday?  I saw three - no, make that four - reasons: 1.  Many Christia

What Kind of Friend Will You Choose to Be?

During my many days (months) of illness, I have discovered something important.  There are two kinds of friends: true friends and friends of convenience.  We each get to decide what kind of friend we are, and when you go through something where you need to depend on friends, you will see which kind of friends you have. Friends of convenience say to let them know if you need anything - and they may or may not mean it - but if it interrupts their life, they will not be there.  These are the friends who may check on you every once in a while through Facebook or text, but although they live near you, they never stop by.  If you need something, they will not be there because it would be an inconvenience to them or their family.  These friends will be friendly to you, but not true to you. A true friend is there for you through thick and thin.  She will set aside her homeschool schedule to welcome your children, knowing this is just one day.  She says she can always incorporate one

Choosing the Right Mirror

I am not the same person I once was.  I have grown maturely, emotionally, spiritually, and yes, physically.  But I have a secret.  For ten years I have despised my body.  The people who knew me in high school and during my college years knew a pencil-thin girl, one who could eat a super-sized Big Mac meal and ask what was for dessert - and never gain an ounce.  I am 5'10" and during those teen and young adult years my weight fluctuated between 115 and 125 pounds.  I remember one school teacher pulling me aside because he was concerned that I was anorexic (I had gotten to 100 pounds at that point).  I assured him I ate more than my fair share - my weight simply never showed it.   I was not super skinny - not like the models who in real life are so emaciated it pains me to look at them.  I was underweight, but healthy, even though my doctors wanted me to gain ten pounds.  They just didn't pack on.   I did have a brief period of time where got up to a size 14  (look
