cause we are going to see our new great-grandbaby this weekend! I have had this yearning within me for several days now to go see her, but other things have been in the way. I found we weren't scheduled for anything at church this weekend but I did have a lunch scheduled on Saturday with a friend. I opted to send my friend an email and ask to move it to next week. I contacted my granddaughter to see if we could come down - and she said hubby was working nights, but we could come down. So it is settled. I emailed my hubby and told him we were going - and that we will talk later. His response was just "ok".
I am so looking forward to even the drive down. I am even willing to take my life in my hands and let hubby drive if he insists. I have felt the need to getaway for a few weeks - just tired of work, and routine. The past two weekends, after church, we have napped, watched a little tv (baseball games) and read. BORING. It's getting too hot to talk hubby into going for a walk.
I'm sitting in a meeting at the moment but we have a couple people who ramble... so while they are talking, thought I would try to get this written. That's the advantage I have of bringing my computer to the meeting. Of course I use it as well to answer emails and set up meetings. And eat. I ordered good food today - we have salad, rolls, fried/baked potatoes (cut up), rosemary chicken, and mmmm lasagna. And cookies for dessert.
And I can't eat most of it. My youngest son has become a distributor for a new program - and although he did not pressure me, I finally told him last week that I would give it a try. He gave me the 24 day challenge pak as a Mother's Day present and he asked me NOT to start it unless I was going to be committed to doing it. I started on Sunday, which means this is day 4. The first three days haven't been too bad.............
Day one - Sunday - I was able to stay on target easily enough. Had hubby grill a bunch of chicken and I prepped some meals for the week.
Day two - Monday. I'm at work. My day starts with a friend bringing me two Grandma cookies. I put them in my boss' and my snack box. Later that morning another friend gave me a chocolate chip cookie from Einsteins. I gave it away. Then a friend brings me a Green Tea - sweetened with high fruclose corn syrup. It's in my desk drawer. At 3:15PM a supervisor came by and offered me birthday cake. I resisted.
Day three - Tuesday. Offered a donut as I came in the door. Had a meeting lunch so only ate the salad and I had brought a piece of grilled chicken so had that with it. Then I'm told there is a potluck in the department by me - but I said no thank you. Then another department came and told me they were having a potluck and for me to come over and get... again I had to say no thank you. Then someone had birthday cake. AGAIN I had to say no thank you.
I have finally started telling people what I am doing so that they will NOT invite me to come eat - although I would be offended if they didn't ask me.... but for now, for these 24 days of challenge, I am really trying hard to be good.
and now we are at Day four. I had my shake this morning and I'm doing good - had a small snack this morning. Now I'm in this catered lunch meeting. The lunch of which I described above. I think I will be cutting back on food for the rest of the day. I don't want to get on the scale until Sunday. I'm trying hard to do this right.
My saying "I should have been born rich instead of just beautiful" still applies. It would be nice to be both. In the meantime...
Blessings!
