Starting my day...

Life is continuing to throw me some curve balls and I'm doing all I can to keep from getting hit in the head. One of the things I have realized is that it's important for me to start my day focusing on what I want out of life, instead of what scares the pants off of me. If I don't, I start heading for the carbs and doing damage to myself. So today, I started it off with a protein shake. I don't normally do these anymore because I don't really like them and I prefer to 'eat' my protein. Well, I have been struggling with not eating protein in the morning and heading for the carbs, so I decided to drink the awful stuff anyway. Didn't like it anymore now than I did 3 years ago, but I'm hoping it helps me with 'taking care of me.' I'm also planning to go for a walk later today with my dogs... good for them, good for me.

What you are going to do today?

BTW... It's been awfully lonely around here lately, so come on, quit lurking and join in. 

Thanks for throwing that one at me! Its only 11:00am and I have been in the carbs already. The line "doing damage to myself" really knocked me into reality, you are so right! I promise myself to stay on course for the rest of the day, and make the same commitment tomorrow. 
     I start back to work next week and I want to get some Fall cleaning and decorating done before I do. Work will be hot and heavy until December 22nd. I have also taken a part time job to help reduce my credit card debt incurred while my husband was unable to work the first 6 months of this year. When things get crazy I tend to put my needs on the back burner. I must commit to myself this year.

You know, my surgerversary is December 10th. I will be 2 years out. Right after surgery I bought a Joe Spencer doll named "Bobbette Snowball" to remind me that the Christmas of 2008 would be the last Christmas I would be "round" like her. I think I will get her out as a reminder of how far I have come. She will look silly amongst the pumpkins and pilgrims! Maybe I'll put her on my dresser just for me to view until Christmas. lol.
