Thank you all.

Your encouragement and support keeps me going! I can feel the love and caring and friendship shining through all your words and smilies and I'm grateful.
Yesterday, I didn't get enough water but I earned smilies for devotions and pills. I ate relatively healthy with only 1 treat throughout the whole day - a good day for me! No exercise, but I did have a lovely nap.
Today is a new day. It's Thursday and I'm getting worn down. These work weeks just seem to go on forever.

You can bet there'll be a real party here tomorrow!
It will be a busy workday. I have a lot to do. Tonight's plans include a visit to the eye doctor's office so my son can pick up his contact lenses and be trained on how to take care of them. He's so excited! We'll also be finishing the hemming of his suit pants for the big dance on Saturday night. DD is working on crocheting scarves for her friends and I may have to help out - they must be finished on Saturday. Never a dull moment at our house.
DD's finger is healing. The puppy had something in her mouth and DD wanted to check to make sure of what it was. I can do this without a problem but I'm the alpha in our family pack. DD is right above the dog in pack order and sometimes the pup tries to test the boundaries. She has been banished from our bed and is sleeping on her puppy bed next to my bed. I'm making sure DD gets fed first. I'm doing extra obedience work with the dog. All this just to put her back in her place. She is still adjusting to the changes and trying to be bossy about getting attention, etc. so we'll just keep working on it.
Today's goals:
1. Devotional - Nothing can separate me from God's love - a good feeling.

2. Pills - Taken with breakfast.

3. Water - I'll be trying for 5 mugs at work, maybe substituting decaf green tea for one mug. If I need a soda for the caffeine, I'll have to drink it in addition to the water. 3 mugs down and no soda yet! I'll take the 4th mug with me for the ride home and drink the 5th tonight. I can do this!
4. Healthy eating - I'm ready to set this goal today. I've been bringing all my workday food from home this week and it really helps! I may not be low-carb per se but I'll be eating sensibly. Breakfast was blueberry yogurt with walnuts. Lunch was a ham sub. Snacks were a banana, a Clementine and 2 string cheeses. I also had a pack of crackers and some Reese's pieces with peanuts out of the EVM. I'm just hungry today! Dinner tonight will be hot dogs at home or a Wendy's salad.
5. Exercise - 7,000 steps on my pedometer. I've been averaging 6,000 lately and it's time to get a few more in.
If anyone catches me sleeping at my desk, please give me a nudge!
