Day Six - Phase One

Well, last night I got about 7 hours of rest. I would say that today I woke up feeling a little - maybe - depressed? I don't know if that is the right word. I think I am just mourning my old way of eating and the foods I used to eat. It will pass.



I got on the scales - no weight lost or gained today. No big deal. Would I have liked it to go down? Well of course - what girl wouldn't have? I see that despite my tiredness I am going to HAVE to add exercise. Did I tell you I was thankful for my supportive husband? He has been so very great during this.



Lets start with the menu today:



Breakfast: I passed up the homemade pancakes I made for all the sleepover kids (not even a nibble I tell you!) and made omelets with red peppers, tomatoes, and onions - seasoned with Emmeril's essence. These were so very very good! I also had two pieces of turkey bacon and about 16 oz of water.



Snack: got busy and forgot this

Lunch: Taco Salad (no shell, no chips - really good!)

Supper: Crock pot Turkey (Butterball turkey breast about 3lbs. and one pack of Lipton onion soup mix placed in crock pot and cooked on low 8 hours) green beans
This really wasn't enough and I found myself munching afterward - like on fudgsicle, cheese stick, and a cream cheese mixture I had made.

Suggestions:
1. Watch out for the business of life -that is a sure fire way to kill a plan. Twice in two days I have let that get ahead of me.
2. Exercise. Take the stairs more, park further away - just get the energy going (heaven forbid you would like to, but you could even deep clean your house to burn calories)
3. Go to sleep at a decent time and then get up at a decent time. This is part of caring for yourself. Take it from me, there will ALWAYS be "something else" to do or get done before the day is over. Seriously though, if we are good stewards with our time (note to self: this does not include t.v., computer, or phone time as much as I would like them to) then the important things will get done in the time allotted. We have to be vigilant about protecting the time we have and not letting frivolous things (even those that mask themselves as "good") to get in the way or knock us off course!


Stay strong!!
