The Path that I have chosen....

There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Today was a really good day. For many reasons. I always sleep really well when I talk to my love before I go to sleep. And with this life style change I am sleeping so much better. So for the combo of both, made for a really good day! I even got to help out my friend in another Department today. I learned some "NEW" stuff. It was good to be busy because with the rain, I'd have fallen asleep. I have been doing really well with my eating. Especially at work. I am drinking lots of water, eating banana's & apples & clementines during the day and salad with spinach and cheese & some roast beef. I have needed some meat during the day. Not much, Just a little. I have actually been having some pistachios or cashews too for a snack. It gives me a little pick me up at the end of the day.

I had taken chicken out so tonight for dinner, I didn't want to make the usual chicken stirfry. Since Lexi was not having dinner because she is sick, she had a salad, which I had for lunch and didn't want another one, so I boiled the chicken and made chicken salad & threw peas in it. I had some left over peas & didn't want to throw them out, so in they went. It was really good & filling too. I didn't have any bread of course, which I always have chicken salad on toast, but it was great anyway! Now, I'm full and ready to go to bed! LOL

So, the path I have chosen before is not the path I am chosing now. I have so many amazing people in my life, and I have some amazing friends. I have chosen to work really hard at helping people and just being a better & healthier person. I want Lexi to look back when she is older and be proud of her Mom, and all I have accomplished to not only have a better life with her, but teach her how to eat better and be healthy. That's the path I am chosing!I forgot to mention the other night that I started doing leg lifts the other night & my abs were so sore last night. Instead of doing some more, I played mancala with Lexi. Tonight however, I am going to do the leg lifts. I lay on the floor, and hold Lexi's ankles & lift my legs, then she pushes my feet down and I left & I do that for a little while. I have not done those since I had my double hernia operation a year and a half ago.  I'm trying to do more walking too. I like to park father away and walk to where ever I am going. A little extra walking helps.

I just wanted to comment on how much I appreciate all the kind emails & messages I am getting saying how much you all appreciate that I am writing this blog. It really is just for me to be accountable to myself. I love to help people so if this motivates you, then my job is done.

I hope you all have a great night! I'm going to kick back & relax.

Godspeed!!
