My grandsons were here yesterday and the house looks like it was struck by a tornado. It'll take me all day to clean it up. A small price to pay, they are such a joy to watch.

I did a bit over 8 miles on the bike last night. I even made it going up the hill without having to take a easier route.

I had a great dinner last night and it was a little over 400 calories. BBQ chicken, spinach and pinto beans.

I have stopped eating rice with my beans, to many calories for the amount of nutrition. Maybe when I go on a maintenance program I will add them back in.

Me and my sisters decided that he needs to wrap his head with bubble wrap. He thought that was pretty funny. LOL!

I am doing better too. I just had to stop and realize that no matter which things went with him that I was going to be okay and that it would all work out.

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and prayers. God is good. Indeed.

I have been eating nothing but toast with butter and jam all dayy. I think I ate a 1/2 of a loaf of bread today. That is the only thing that doesn't make me feel like I want to barf my guts up. I was in bed ALL day and I finally moved to the couch and the computer. My ears/vertigo have been messed up today too. I can't wait for the night to come maybe tomorrow I will feel better.

Then tonight I made stuffed pasta shells with spaghetti sauce on top. I only ate 2 with dinner, but I still had 1 more later at 4:30 a.m. as well as a little more bread. OOOOH! Okay, I need to take my own advice and get this under control. Truth be told, I really needed more to drink today so instead of drinking water (ugh) I ate whatever was there (double ugh)

Okay it is over. Back to action and healthy living...which includes sleep. Nite all

I'm up to four miles walking and 8 on the bike. I would like to see more progress, but I guess it took me 15 years to look like this so I need a bit more patience.

Have a blessed day everyone, think beautiful thoughts. Not of how it could be, but how beautiful we are today. Carol

PS Tru, I hope your headache is better.
