Well, as days go, this one will count as one of the bad ones. My 12 year old son, Bruce has decided to move to Lafayette and live with his Dad. I am very disappointed in this decision and do not feel it is in his best interest. But I am out of ideas of what to do to help him through his issues, and he does not want to hear them anyway. So I spent my morning taking him out of school here and getting all the paper work together for him to go to school in Lafayette. This has been so emotionally draining, it makes it hard for me to remain focused on my life style change goals. But I am hanging in, doing my walking and exercise classes. The food issues are doing ok, still very rough at times, but I am holding my own.
My poor husband has been dealing with me and my wild mood swings, crying at the drop of a hat, and shrieking like a wild woman moments later....so last night I asked what he wanted for his Valentine's dinner......his answer "fried chicken". I was hoping he would say grilled fish and green salad.......but we ALL know that was not going to happen....lol!!! So I came up with a plan....
1. eat a late and filling lunch(so I would not be overly tempted)
2. fry only 2 chicken breasts!!
3. cook only 1 stuffed potato that was in the freezer
4. as soon as the food is cooked, leave and go to Walmart to get supplies for MDO!
IT WORKED!!!! I did not eat one bite!!! So if I get hungry later I can have a small salad or some yogurt and fruit.
I am also proud of myself for making it through my SECOND exercise class......not looking great doing it, but I kept moving!!!
No change on the scale today.....least of my worries at this point! I just want to survive...lol!!!
Dale, I think you could benefit greatly from joining our First Place Group on Monday nights. It helps us (through Bible Study and prayer) find balance in our lives-----heart, mind, soul, and strength. It has a sensible eating plan. A couple of us are 76 or above. We weigh in at 5:30 on each Monday at the Life Center and meet until about 7:15 (or earlier). Ann Bailey is our Director and Phyllis Prejean is our Bible Study Teacher. Our Bible Study is about Hope.
