Diane and Phillip - Day 1

We survived the first day - even though unhealthy Christmas goodies are still lying around tempting us! For breakfast I had a blueberry/raspberry/kefer smoothie and 1/3 grapefruit. Carrots, celery and grape tomatoes helped me make it to my lunch of a salad with two slices of left-over london broil. I had an afternoon snack of a handful of almonds. After work I had a church budget meeting with dinner brought in from Subway by one of our members. I had asked for a salad with a chicken breast but he forgot the chicken so it was a pretty measley(sp) salad and after 3 1/2 hours of struggling with church finances I was pretty hungry. Since it was 10 PM when I got home I fought the urge to grab a Klondike bar and went to bed after doing about five minutes of sit-ups and leg lifts etc. I hope to do better with the exercise today since I can actually go home after work. I also drank about 100 ounces of water! It was a good day and it felt good to have overcome the temptation both at work (pecan pie and homemade cookies) and at home! Your prayers have given me the strength so keep it up. Based on what he told me, Phillip stayed pretty much on track also but he didn't give me all the details so I will try to get that for you tomorrow. And maybe I can get our home computer set up tonight so that he can do his own report which would be a huge step for him too!God bless and I trust you will all have a healthy eating day today also!

P.S. - Does anyone else have a headache today? Maybe it's sinus, but could be "carb withdrawal" after the overdose during the holidays! Have a blessed and happy day!
