Dinner

Ok I must confess the old me won and I took a nap today after spending 2 hours reading blogs of people I don't know. It is so addicting. Maybe it's my nosey personality that I have to know EVERYTHING. I found a sad story about a girl my age who has 4 kids and a HOT husband. I say that cause he was but on her blog she put it a bunch. I read all about her and her families life. The sad part was actually the first blog post on her page that was posted by her sister. She and her husband were in a private plane crash a few weeks ago and are both in the hospital his body is burned 30% where hers is 80% burned. Her sister made reference to the fact that she is a vegetarian and eats very healthy and she feels that her body is so strong for that reason. The doctors are surprised at how well she is healing. Make me want to go back to eating no meat again. I feel so sad for them and I don't even know them.

On to ME and dinner. After my nap which I failed to mention lasted 4 hours.....yes it was a good one. I woke up and was sitting on the couch watching "Americas Funniest home videos" with Jana this is one of our favorite shows to watch together cause we laugh so hard. We both discussed how depressed we felt today and decided to go to dinner, mainly just to get out of the house. Since giving up soda I feel like I sometimes need a treat, I ordered a strawberry lemonade, it was delicious. When the waitress picked it up to refill it I told her "oh can I just have water, I just wanted one." She said "Wow you have good will power." I thought uhhhh well not really cause I'm eating these chips. We had Chips and salsa which I normally devour but not today. Not because I was consciously thinking that I didn't need them but because they just didn't taste right. I ordered a grill chicken sandwich with fries and ate half the sandwich then just the chicken and cheese out of the other half and maybe half the fries then I was done. I really wanted some dessert but decided I better not since that girl said I had such good will power. Instead we went to Braums. I got a cone with frozen yogurt, and ate half and through the other half out the window for the birds. I was informed by the teen at the window that I had a waffle cone and Jana had a cake cone. Since she didn't know that when I said "regular cone" I obviously meant "cake cone."

Ok so I might not have done that great but here is what I did do good. Instead of drinking 3-5 sodas with my dinner I drank 1 lemonade. Instead of filling totally up on chips I ate fewer and I didn't finish my meal, and even though I got ice cream I got yogurt and I didn't even eat it all.

I say I probably slashed close to 1000 calories tonight. Plus all I ate today was cereal, chips, and some wheat thins. Not the healthiest day of eating, but like I said I SAVED CALORIES!
