Good morning
Had a good day yesterday, and my back is most definitely on the mend. *cheers* I actually *gasp* slept from 10-6 this morning without having to wake for drugs to ease the pain.
I'm still quirky and have to remember my posture--something I should do anyhow. But woo it feels good to be this pain-free.
Church was uneventful, although I'm still struggling with finding a niche. Its hard as everyone there has known each other since kindergarten. We are definitely the outsiders. The women have not reached out to me, but then I haven't reached out to them, cause I don't know how. Well one has--the older lady. So kinda impasse. I'll keep working on it, and try not to get bogged down too much.
After dinner before bedtime we went for a drive exploring some more forest service roads. We didn't find anything super spectacular, but it was a nice drive. And I managed to snag this picture of the forest.
Today is my first day of no day time aim. It might kill me, or it might killl Rhiannon. *giggles* But it will have to work.
I have been praying, and thinking about a diet plan since Christmas time. And I am very close to jumping over the edge into one. It is one I've researched into the past, but didn't get into as it was during my thyroid days--which were just awful, and didn't need the extra change of a "life style plan".
I rebought the book, and refreshed my mind. I was delighted to see that they've made some small improvements which make it even easier. And yes I'm not 40 yet--snigger. Which made me giggle at the book. But the diet works for younger, and this book had the improvements in it, which is why I ended up with that title.
The basic premise is you limit your carbohydrate intake two meals a day--and then your allowed as much as you want for 60 minutes each day. At that time you have to eat 1/3 veggies 1/3 protein and 1/3 of whatever carb you've been lusting over all day. *snicker*
So, I'll tell you if I actually plunge into this.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I feel better when I eat low carb. This option however gives me the ability to eat it sometimes, and keeps me from feeling like I'm saying no to all the pleasures of life.
It has no limits, no counting, etc. None of which I do well on.
I might even *gasp* get the courage up and put a weight ticker up...although man I don't know its extremely embarassing what I weigh these days. So we shall see.
We are moving slow today--the time change messed us up. So I'm gonna go walk around the driveway loop with my camera, and then get the kids in for school. Have a day.
