I had a good day today! I made myself a fruit smoothie for breakfast. It was my day to take care of my mom and while I was there my brother made spaghetti for lunch. I only ate half of what he served me (partially because it wasn't that good, but I'm still taking credit for eating only half). After that I went grocery shopping. I was worried because I was afraid I might get too hungry or buy a bunch of junk, but I didn't get hungry. I didn't buy junk. I did get a few snack items, but everything was whole grain and fairly low calorie. I like to have snacks on hand for the babies but I wanted to make sure they were healthy for the babies and also in case I go crazy for a snack I will have stuff that is fairly good choice. I was proud of myself. In fact everytime I looked at junk food, I thought about it and it just didn't seem worth it. I was afraid I might break down and go to a fast food place, but I didn't. I started feeling dizzy in the store and felt like I was dehydrating, so I did go to DQ and get a drink, but that was all I had. By the time I got home and got the groceries in and put away it was 9:00 pm so I just had some hummus and crackers for dinner. I'm not hungry. I didn't get time to do the tread mill or weights today, b ut I'm going to do that now. Even though I'm tired I'm going to make myself at least get on the treadmill and do whatever I can. I feel strong though, just tired.

Oh yeah, my daughter wants to have a bbq for the 4th and I was concerned that I might pig out, but I talked to her and we're going to have shrimp kabobs with lots of grilled veggies. That will get me full and it will still feel like a special meal. We're not having any desserts except maybe some fruit. Watermelon would be appropriate. It will probably just be me, her, and the babies so we don't have to make a bunch of stuff and that sounds wonderful to me. If anyone is not going to be around for the holiday, I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
