Monday night - April 28

What a difference a day makes, I still had some bad financial news today and I really felt those old feelings of panic, fear, disgust, and did I mention fear?I prayed about it, read some literature, took a walk with Hopalong and prayed some more. No matter how bad the situation, eating was not going to solve it nor was it going to make it better.

I planned my food today in the morning so I would not have to worry about it during the day, I still leave wiggle room as my sweet Creole neighbor brought Jambalaya over for our dinner. I just changed the plan and worked this already prepared dinner into my plan. I measured out 3/4 c of rice and some of the meat and went ahead and ate it. In the past, I would have eaten the entire bowl just because it was good food already made for me but now, I save some for lunch tomorrow and had enough to feed our entire family. My kids love rice.

Tonight I walked to Walgreen's to get Honey some 100,000 bars. It was a great opportunity to fire up the iPod and sing some great music loudly, some Chris Tomlin, Andrew Peterson, Amy G, and some vintage Dallas Holm.

1. Prayer and praise, read bible study, morning Psalms, lots of prayer about above issue.
2. 28 of 32 points ate all my Brown (whole wheat grains) and Greens (fruits and veggies)
3. walked for 30 minutes....YEA
4. Water and Vitamins.....check and check

Love you all, I am so grateful you have joined this blog. Keep on keeping on.

You go girl! Missed seeing you today. I could tell I was more edgy with the girls without today's fellowship--hope it was a good morn!
You're doing such a super job, I'm so proud of you!
I love old school Dallas Holm--he's the man...
