Day 227 - Saturday, April 25

Cellercised for 5 minutes. That is all my grandsons would let me have - then it was grandma, grandma, grandma.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal w/ sliced bananas and walnuts, honey and soy milk
Orange

Lunch:
Bowl of "chicken" soup
2 slices homemade ww bread
What else do you eat when you are wet, cold and hungry?

Dinner:
Wild rice w/ green onions & mushrooms
Steamed broccoli

Dessert:
Strawberries and granola in yogurt

I need to be honest and say that these past few days have been hard for me. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. Some days I am happy and upbeat and other days I feel down in the dumps. I think today has been particularly bad due to a few factors: 1. Sleep deprivation - that usually happens when grandkids sleep over. 2. I forget how much work having kids is. They can really wear me out. 3. RAIN and dark skies mean the kids have to be inside more than they like to be. 4. I have hit a "proverbial" brick wall in my diet. I have forgotten my focus and need to get back on track with the 'why' and quit feeling sorry for myself. It is hard enough to be on a diet, but even harder when I feel like I am the only one eating weird every where I go. Whenever I eat away from home I always end up eating the same old things: veggie trays and lettuce salads. I try not to eat away from home much, but with Dennis' church calling, it is hard. Tomorrow has got to be better.
