I crawled out of bed this morning wishfully and longingly thinking of last Sunday's breakfast. Dan had made his famous french toast, where he starts with thick sweet bread, then dips in batter and rolls in crushed frosted flakes, bakes, and ends with drizzles of warm maple syrup. The sweet smell was to powerful to overcome and I enjoyed every last bite (even the left-overs I ate cold for a late night snack). Although this morning, as with every other morning this week, I have ... enjoyed? or tolerated? my morning "shake". Some days, the fact that I have lost 27 lbs, and am taking less meds has to be repeated in my head over and over again! Today was one of those days ...
My dietary habits are now 2 daily "shakes" 1 for breakfast, another for lunch. A piece of fruit for a snack and a rather large salad with ... chicken? Again? But again "I have lost ____," just keep saying that over & over again "I have lost this much"
I have spent all of today trying to figure out how to make our blog cute! I've traveled from one blog to another. I started with scrap-booking blogs, and my friends blog http://alicatknits.blogspot.com/, I clicked on the followers or links and what I found was creative (and not so creative) people out there, and I found myself longing to be that creative. As I jealously went from blog to blog I lost all track of time, it's well past lunch ... and I haven't even noticed I'm hungry, I should actually be at church now, but my husband quietly left without me. I remember several days ago asking my son "Danny, how do you do a Blog?" his answer was a roll of his eyes, "what? Don't you learn that in school", then came "Mom, Blogs are for nerds", "Well, what does that mean" ... "Nerds, mom ... why would I learn how to do a blog". Well then, I guess I'm on my own ... trying to become a "Nerd"
So, I guess my point of this post is ... in my quest to become a nerd, I forgot how hungry I was, I forgot about the wonderfully good french toast of last week and I chugged my morning breakfast shake in my cute mug from Tammy.
