Happy Happy Happy

I am very happy today because a lot of things have gone right for me. First, the kitties are fixed and sedated today so I can finally get some sleep. I think my aches were from lack of sleep because I never did get really sick. Today I left without breakfast because I was a little late and decided to stop at the store and get something before running errands. I got yogurt and a banana, even though I really wanted something out of the deli, and came straight home from shopping so I could make a nice turkey wrap. Then I worked out for a nice long time, because I wanted to. My friend made dinner, white rice, pork roast, and vegetable stew, which is very high in everything but I had all those extra calories, etc so it was okay. I just measured everything and ate slow and ended up using about 700 calories for dinner. Hubby brought Lillie Belle Farm Chocolates home from Central Point Oregon. They have unusual, organic, flavors and I love them. I haven't looked up the calorie counts yet but I have over 700 calories left, lots of carbs, and even some fat.......I feel incredibly strong and successful today and I'm beginning to think I can really do this for a life time.....

Hi catlover! So glad you had a great day. It is wonderful to get the point where you can really see that you've changed your lifestyle for good - no more "diet" mentality!

I noticed you mentioned your Lillie Belle Farms Chocolates a couple of times yesterday, and I just have to mention - my sister-in-law works there! We live in New York State so I haven't gotten to try them yet, but she's been there for a few months now and is loving it. They were recently featured in Organic Style magazine, and there is even a video: http://www.organicstylemag.com/organicstyle/2008winter/?u1=texterity

I'm holding out hope that she may send us some for Christmas...

Anyway, that was very sweet of your husband. And honestly - that is something worth spending your calories on (better than some lousy Snickers bar). Not all the time, of course - but you deserve a treat now and then. At least your husband thinks so!
