Hello lovely people!

Well, this evening, I got a text from Erik .... Well, let me start from the begining. He got up at nearly 1 this afternoon (he works closing shift) he was getting ready for school then he was going straight to work, he didn't eat anything but 3 cookies that I gave him, I told him he better eat, HE is SO picky, he fights our new way of eating! I don't buy any crap, that means no lunch meats instead we use avocado's, and I have EVERYTHING ready in the fridge to grab all washed and cut up or he can make a pbj, well, he doesn't like the whole grain bread he wants the white bread only, well its all we got, I even told him to make a nice salad, I have pinto beans always made in there or just eat a bowl of cereal, well, he chose NOT to eat, and left, I got a text at 6pm. Mom, I feel like I'm going to pass out, I really need food bad and I have no money!!!! I could have ignored that, but the Mama comes out in ya,and I was picturing him passing out with low blood sugar, so what do I do, I took him money so he could get something to eat, I told him this is the first and LAST time I will EVER do this! I told him GROW UP!!!!! <sigh> no harm done, I'm home and fine and I guess that's what Mom's do!

So, I had a good day today, I don't know what happened today but EVERYONE really noticed my weight loss, they are saying I am looking skinny, it got me to thinking, I think it is more that my body is actually reshaping with all the walking I've been doing, I really believe that exericise plays such a huge role on this journing, I just really am feeling good about myself these days and it sure feels good! This time around I am seeing myself different, I don't know what happened to me the last time I got down but I really hated myself, I guess I thought I would be different, but this time I just don't care about "image" and I think that is because I care more about the health end of it all, now of course I want to look good but I don't need to be a model yanno what I'm trying to say?

Tomorrow we are going to go help a big church host a huge Halloween party for the kids with cancer, I have done this over the last few years and I love it, its so rewarding, yes sad too as I will be with kids who are dying of cancer, It makes me happy that I could be part of putting a smile on their faces!

Lisa, I lost my post yesterday too, it is VERY frustrating! I hope you are doing well, how are you feeling being on the diet?

Kath, I LOVE what your dh said about you working You sound like you are doing a great job with all your new responsibilites, you were the perfect person for the job It must be sweet potato night, I made spicy sweet potato wedges with our dinner, YUM! I'll have to check out your recipe, thanks for sharing!

Boston, your vacaton sounds nice, I would love to do that too! I meant to answer your questing about the wheat flour, there is a new wheat flour out now that's better for baking, its white wheat flour, what I like is it makes a healthier cookie being that it is whole wheat oppose to the white stuff, so I'm adding fiber to my baking, and the cookie didn't taste any different to us so I was just happy that it turned out

Ange, I'm sorry you are not feeling well today! I bet the Arizona weather would be so much better for you! I hope you have a MUCH better day tomorrow!

Ok, I am off to put the white load in the dryer and put a colored load in the washer, it just never ends does it?

Have a wonderful night everyone!
