Yesterday was great! Busy, but great.
Water was about 50 oz. For the first time in a long time, I am starting to feel that I am getting back on track with water. Food went as planned except.....at lunch I waited a bit too long and polished off some chips (more like crumbs) and almost went downhill from there when I told myself to get the salad and chicken. That was a good move because it was much more satisfying in the long run. The PM snack was a apple cinnamon rice cake. I was late getting anything there and at the store I picked them up and decided to eat one even though it was close to supper because I was afraid that I would go overboard if I waited. Turned out to be a good thing. Later in the evening (yes, after 7:30) I ate a piece of Godiva and had a cup of herbal tea.
The leader meeting was canceled, so I spent the evening stringing planets. Well I did some and DD10 did some. She had a lot of great ideas and her project looks really cool. The best part was when she said she had fun working on this project with me. Tonight I have to help DS5 modify his jet pack that we made awhile back. We are putting on rocket boosters. I did get alot of work done in my office and am thrilled to be wrapping up 2007. Talked quite a bit to DD20 who is still frustrated, but they are hoping that some of the "attention" at the school will go away soon. DD18 however is giving me the biggest problem. She suddenly doesn't care about anything, or says she doesn't and is hiding the fact that her boyfriend lost his job. Not sure why. She thinks they will be together forever and they may, but it bothers me that she has gone from 18 to 14 in a matter of weeks. Not sure how I am going to get her back on track or if she is, how I am going to get her to confide a bit more and start trusting us.
Today's food:
Breakfast - 1 egg omelet w/portebello & moz, ham, 1 c grapefruit
AM snack - cheese & crackers
Lunch - tuna wrap
PM snack - banana smoothie & rice cake
Supper - chicken strips & fries
Goals for the day:
1. 60 oz water
2. no eating after 7:30pm (I really enjoyed the hot tea, but can do without the chocolate)
3. work, work, work
I better get going. Everyone have a great day! :
