Wonderful Wednesday
I woke up this morning ...... that in its self makes for a wonderful day :)
I woke up this morning , the sun was shining .I truly do not remember the last day that I saw the sun shine.
It got up to 65* , considering 3 days ago it was 19* , that is a nice change.
I took a half day off work.With pay.
I went shopping and found some really cute shoes on sale so I treated my self. I was temped to do some clothes shopping but I have decided to wait a bit to see what changes as far as my size
.
I swung by the bank because there was something unusual with my checking account, I discovered that the IRS had blessed me with a refund. Now mind you I am not used to getting a refund, I usually owe so that refund is extra sweet.
The dog and I went to the park and had a nice walk. Then off to the doggie wash ,, he just lovvvveeesss that blow dryer ,lol.
I am deciding what is for dinner then I will get another walk in and then I am just going to set back and enjoy the rest of my day.
I hope every one had a WONDERFUL Wednesday :)

More vegetables are you kidding me??
"More vegetables are you kidding me ??? I already struggle eating any and you want me to eat more !!!!!!"
I will leave out the expletives but probably not the best conversation I have had with my doc .
Am I the ONLY person on this planet that HATES vegetables???? not dislikes them, not does not care for them, HATES them.
I have tried and failed to incorporate them in to my food dishes ( hide them)
I have tried eating them raw only.
I have tried eating them cooked only.
I have seen people blog about great vegetable recipes ** shudders**
I just plain dont like them and I dont want to eat them!!!!!!
Ok I am done with my temper tramp tram now ** lower lip pout**
I will go try to figure out how to hide,,I mean,, incorporate more vegetables in to my diet .

Make a List Monday
I am "borrowing " this idea from a fellow blogger
Make a List Monday will focus on things you are most grateful for. Please feel free to post your Top Ten on your blog.
1. I am grateful my family and friends are safe and warm. The recent storms drive home the point of just how quickly it can change .
2.I am grateful I have a job. Many do not.
3.I am grateful I have a warm secure home. Many do not.
4. I am grateful I am not in debt. Monetarily I do not have much but what I have is mine. The bank or a credit card co. does not own it ,I do.
5.I am grateful for my grandchildren. They are my greatest joy.
My youngest granddaughter who is 6, walked in to my house Saturday and said " Grandma it has been forever , I have missed you'' and gave me a GIANT hug. She lives two houses away and I see her most every day :)
6. I am grateful for my fur babies . They love me unconditionally as I do them.
7. I am grateful that my body has not given up on me yet.
8.I am grateful that my body will forgive me the abuse( medical testing ,treatment,malnutrition ect...) it has suffered.
9. I am grateful that my body will recover and will be strong and healthy again.
10. I am grateful for my internet "friends"
I am not a shy person. I will walk up to any one and start a conversation. But I am not one to share much of my self with anyone, not even my family. Blogging and my internet "friends" makes it possible for me to share parts of my self that I would not be able to share in real life,person to person.
What are you grateful for today??

In like a lion out like a lamb
There is a saying about the month of March ;; if it comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb.
Here in Northwestern PA. the weather tends to be intense this time of year. In the past 5 days we have had Thunderstorms ,Rain,Snow ,Intense winds,Ice ect. .
That is normal for this time of year. Thankfully we are a safe and sound in our warm homes.
Other parts of the country are not so lucky.
My heart aches for those who have lost friends and family with the recent storms .
Today I woke up feeling grateful .
Grateful that my family and friends are safe. Grateful that I have a roof over my head and a nice warm bed to wake up in.
Everyone stay safe and warm .

I am taking a 4 day weekend
I am taking a 4 day weekend.
My last night working 3rd shift was Thursday night. I came home Friday morning and took a short nap so I could make it thru until bedtime. A REGULAR bedtime :) I am off work for a few days so I can try to get my sleep pattern turned back around.
I feel very strongly that working 3rd shift hindered my weight loss efforts . So now that I am back on days, no more excuses.
I have started following the food plan my GI doc set up for me.
All I can say is that it is a REALLY good thing I trust this guy. I mean I want to call him and ask him if he is sure a human being can survive on such a small amount of food.
But I do trust him . He has gotten me thru 2 years of digestive and nutritional Hell . Also the fact that he is a slender man helps . There is nothing worse that a doctor telling you that you need to be on a diet / how to diet when he is setting there extremely over weight him self.
To be truthful the hunger is there but what is worse is I am at loss about what to do . Shopping for food,preparing meals,baking and eating have taken up so much of my time in the past.My head keeps thinking I need to make a meal or go to the store for something. But the reality is I do not. I have to make a pot of rice later ( stir fry for dinner) but thats it. I truly don't know what to do with my self today. Being tired and wanting to nap( I am used to sleeping this time of day) isn't helping either..
Maybe I will start some spring cleaning, then again maybe not ,lol
** edit to add**
I decided that after my walk I am going to do a little retail therapy. I need a new rice steamer ;)

Thoughs for today
Life
places so many restrictions on us that we no longer live free willed.
It all starts at a young age when we are told to be quite, to behave, to
not make messes much more to stop being who we are. Eventually we build
walls to conform. The time is now, break free from the mold that holds
you captivate and controls you. Break free from what you were told to do
and how to be. Be who you are meant to be, BE FREE.
