Feelin' good!

Cean and I went to dinner with Karlina, one of my young women that watched our dogs for us while we were gone for Christmas. We went to Olive Garden--my favorite restaurant! I LOVE IT!!! I usually order the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, but tonight I decided to order something different. I ordered the Stuffed Chicken Marsala. It was so good! I ordered that because I didn't want to have the pasta and the problems that I get after eating it! Anyway, moving on, It was a great meal, for eating out, and I didn't order any dessert or any soda. I had water! Speaking of water, I have NOT been drinking enough water. I need to be drinking a lot more than I have been. I think that's my goal for the next several days before weigh in. I want to be able to flush out all the nasties that are in my body. I had a bad sugar withdrawal last night and a bit today, but not too bad. My head is a little sore, but it's been worse before. I've been eating a lot these past few days. I eat several meals throughout the day. I always thought that I wouldn't, couldn't, be one of those people that had snacks throughout the day, but I find that I rather enjoy it. My body lets me know when I am hungry and when I am full. For so long, I've just been eating whatever whenever and now that I'm eating throughout the day and just until I'm full and waiting til I'm actually hungry, I can tell a difference in my energy and mood. I am happier and am getting a lot more accomplished in my day. Well, that's it for today. I hope I sleep well tonight. Dimitri came in our room at 1:00 a.m. and didn't get back down to bed until 2:30!!! I am kind of tired. :) But, I'm feelin' good!!! I'm happy that I'm stickin' with what I planned to do to achieve better health.

  1. Such a great job eating out and making the better choice! That's a tough one, especially at that place. You are spot on on the water flushing our systems! Flush... Anyway, I read some where once and confirmed with Cheryl, that for weight loss it's good to drink even more than the recommended 64 oz. a day. In fact, what I read said that shooting for 1/2 your body weight in oz's is good. Now that is a TON of water for me, 175 oz! But that is what I'm shooting for. Great job on staying positive even on less sleep. :)
