Day 104 - Sunday, Dec 21

Today was our Nash family party (my parents and siblings along with spouses). We have to hold it on Sunday's as it is the only day my baby sister can come. They own a business in Salt Lake and are there Mon - Fri, 9:00 am - midnight. It turned out to be a wonderful evening and I don't know why I stressed over it so much. Well I do know why, it is because it was just one of a thousand things to do this month. We had yummy food, fun games and good company. Thanks family for making it a fun evening. Just a funny from this evening: We played the "animal" game where you say your animal name, then someone else's while keeping time with the hand motions. We had a goose and a mouse along with other animals, but people kept coming up with moose, of which there was not one of. We were laughing so hard!!! What fun memories.

Breakfast:
Green smoothie
Wheat toast

Lunch:
Bean soup (leftover from earlier this week)
Wheat crackers
1 orange (by far the best orange I have had this season)

Pre Dinner snack:
Tortilla chips w/ guacamole and mango salsa

Dinner: (Family party)
2 Fajitas
Lettuce salad
Small glass of grape juice

Snack: (everyone else had a yummy pudding dessert)
Red grapes
Mixed nuts

I didn't even miss or crave the dessert. I just love eating healthy, I feel so good. By the way, I have had several comments this past week on how cute my new haircut is. The funny thing is I haven't had my hair cut for over 2 months. When I mentioned this to Dennis, he said it is because my face is looking thinner, but people are not recognizing that or don't want to say anything about looking thinner. I for one know that is a sensitive subject to approach another person about. Anyway, I just graciously thank them, smile to myself to think that people are noticing some kind of change. I made a point to drink more water today and it has made so much difference. Thank goodness I like water.
