Last Friday? 226.6. Today? 218.4. I lost 8.2 pounds this week. I feel so amazing I can’t even describe it. We had our annual Christmas luncheon at work today. The food was wonderful. We had an amazing holiday spread. I am proud to say I had a big plate of salad with my serving of turkey shredded on top and a side of vegetables. No stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls or pie.
Last year I enjoyed a large plate with some of everything covered in gravy and of course I ended the meal with a tasty piece of pie with whipped cream. It was a special occasion I told myself. Our company went to the trouble of planning and throwing this lunch for us. Let’s be polite and try everything right? What a ridiculous concept. Eating to be polite. And I have, but no more.
What was perfect about today was seeing everyone and spending time together. We applauded everyone for their 5, 10 or 15 years of service in our company. What I put in my mouth didn’t matter. It was all good even if I only tried part of what was available. I feel good being able to write that I ate well today. With Christmas and New Year’s coming up I need to stay focused on each day as it comes. I’m looking forward to this week. I’m headed in the right direction. Finally.
Angelynn, you are my hero. I never cease to be amazed by your intellience, beauty, bravery, writing and artistic ability……… I could go on and on. I am so proud of what you’re doing, not just with yourself, but your career and family. May the FORCE be with you.
Thank you Mom. =] I can use all the help I can get! Can’t wait to see you all…
