This morning Chris1979 wakes up a married woman!!! Congratulation Christina!!! Many happy years of married life!!
Yesterday my son finally did make it up our way. He lives only 90 minutes south of us but we don't see him often. I had gone to town for shopping errands and he met me at Wal-Mart. He was "starving" so we stopped by a sandwich shop on the way home to feed him (he wasn't sure he could survive until we got home!! LOL!!!). I debated. Do I eat? Do I wait? Do I eat? Do I wait? Then decided to order what sounded good to me which was a Southwestern Chicken Wrap. Holy smokes ... it had something like 1770 grams of sodium in it!!! Of course I didn't know that until I got home and looked it up. Oh well.
My son and his dad talked and talked and talked and talked and talked ... all afternoon, all evening! It amazes me what my husband knows about the world, about history. He is quite the reader and quite a history buff. They talked politics, religion, culture all wrapped up into one. Ancient times, current times. I am surprised they both didn't have laryngitis this morning (and they say women can talk!!). It was great to see though. It was nice too for me. The last time Joshua was here was Christmas and I was so sick I barely got out of bed while he was here.
We had lasagna and garlic bread for dinner ... me too!!! I ate a reasonable portion, and felt great about it. I also baked an apple pie that I've had in my freezer since Christmas!!! So much later in the evening we had apple pie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream. I had some of that too!! Oh my ... it was delicious!!! The pie was still warm. I was completely present while I ate. I enjoyed every bite, focused on the tastes ... it was wonderful!!
This morning I weighed 189.8 ... so up 6 tenths of a pound from yesterday's weigh-in. Even if it had been 192 I would have felt great. There is a difference between "no guilt" really being able to focus on enjoying food, eating for hunger and a "screw it" attitude that I do sometimes adopt!! LOL!!! Yesterday was one of the "no guilt" days ... being able to eat "off plan" (even though I don't have a really formal plan I certainly have adopted certain "habits" that I rely on) smoothly, mindfully, and had a great day!!!
4 more days!!! Yes ... just 4 more days and I will be on my way to Mexico!!! YAY!!!
So today is the day to make sure we have everything we need/want packed for the trip. Hubby to try on his shorts and pants to see what fits (poor guy has gained weight on his cancer treatment program and I feel for him!!!). I have most of my stuff packed already but I still need to pack unmentionables, medications, toiletries ... oh and SHOES!!! One pair of dressy sandals, a pair of kick around sandals suitable for the beach/pool, and I'll wear my tennis shoes on the plane.
With my trip just 4 days away and my weight NOT where I initially had hoped it would be I want to say this ... it does not matter!!! Many of you remember my angst towards the beginning of the year when I woke up from the fog I had been in for a couple of months and fully realized I had gained some weight.
I want to thank you each for being such a great support to me through that time ... helping me to let go of the number concept. I am fairly certain that I could not have done it without you!!!
I suppose I should wander into the kitchen and see what I can rustle up to feed my boys this morning!! Me? Oh I am going to stick with the same old, same old for myself!! LOL!!! A two egg omelet with a slice of lite Jarlsberg cheese, pico de gallo, and hot sauce!! But I may make some biscuits for the boys ... a little biscuits and gravy perhaps!!
With the fire finally roaring, a hot cup of coffee in my hand, and a broad smile of contentment on my face I bid you each a wonderful Sunday!!!
Oops ... I almost forgot my grateful list ... damn!!
1. I am grateful for being able to wrap my arms around my son.
2. I am grateful for the wonderful conversation my son and his father shared yesterday ... it did my heart good!!!
3. I am grateful for the lasagna, garlic bread, apple pie, and ice-cream I ate yesterday!!! I felt so darn "normal"!!!
4. I am grateful for being able to let go of worries ... even if only temporarily!!
5. I am grateful for my emotions, my feelings. There was a time in my life I hid them always ... denied them ... didn't want them. No one enjoys sadness, grief, disappointment, anger ... and yet ... I must tell you I am grateful I CAN express those emotions ... I can admit I have them ... because along with them come contentment, joy, giddiness, happiness, excitement, satisfaction, and I am grateful for them all.
So off I go ... into the day ... practicing kindness towards myself. YAY!!! Have a marvelous day full of kindness and appreciation for yourselves and what is working in your life.
