It is Sunday so I decided I'd make breakfast for the family. I'm not sure if I shared with you that part of Steve helping me, is his getting his own breakfast. But this morning I knew, they wouldn't get to it, then we'd get to church and I'd hear grumblings next to me, as well as have a couple of grumpy family members by the time we get home from church.
So breakfast consisted of an egg and cheese omelet, 1/2 english muffin topped with butter and honey. One of the things I'm learning to do is not put as much butter and honey on my toast, as well as eating 1/2 instead of a whole english muffin. Size does count and before I was eating big portions, I'm having to consciously make my portions smaller.
I spent the rest of the day hanging out with my computer and helping Steve do a few light chores around the house. Just dying to get out and walk! So finally I called La Vonne to see if she'd like to come walk, Yeah! Rik was already coming over to mountain bike with Steve so she came with him and we had a nice easy walk on the pavement down at the lake we did alittle over 2 miles. I took an easy pace, protecting my knee, it didn't hurt at all. I'm going to get up that Mt with with Devonay soon! :-)
Lunch was another one of my avacado sandwiches, (they will probably be my staple for a few days thanks to the Barnes bringing avacados to church, I got 3 of them!)
Before my walk I had a hand full of nuts. Afterward I had at least 1 cup of raw veggies with a bit of dip, (I was careful!)
Dinner, I made blackened shark and rice, again I watched my portions, probably could have had a smaller piece of fish, cause it was cooked in butter, but boy was it good!
Dessert- 1 Meringue cookie
I'm feeling lighter and my fogginess is sliding off of me. I have more energy, I'm not as moody.
Please pray for me, I know this is were I start say to myself, " You deserve a break from this, you'll come back to it right away and everything will be okay" and YOU know that isn't true!!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
