weighing my priorities

It is a better thing to weigh and measure priorities
in the illuminating light of your own mission
than to have your activities formed by the
impressions and expectations of others.

Today was an ok day. We had food for my friends Andrea who is getting married Saturday, my friend Allison who got married this past Sunday and then for Lacey who is one of the pharmacists who is leaving and tomorrow is her last day. I had fruit which was perfect, Susan & I shared the cost & that's what we brought in.. I will tell you, there was some amazing desserts and I will tell you, I took a fork and tried these brownies that my coworker Keith made, they had marshmallow's on top of them. They were so gooey too! I decided that those brownies were something I wanted to try! I didn't beat myself up for trying it either. I had one bite, and threw my fork away. And that was enough to satisfy my wanting to try it. I told Keith, that was the first time I had a "CHEAT"  and he was honored that it was to try his brownies even though it was just a bite! So that was a part of weighing my priorities because I had to decide what was more important? Allowing myself to try something I really wanted or to not try it and risk indulging more than I would have, had I not tried the one bite! So the one bite won! lol
The rest of the day, I didn't cheat or want to cheat! I ate my slim fast shake for breakfast, protein bar for snack, fruit, then I had 3 slices of roast beef and some grapes & a piece of cheese for lunch.
For dinner, I had Sheppard's pie, it was awesome, Susan made it. It was garlic potatoes, french green beans, chip meat & cheese, it was so good!
I have been eating a little more the last 2 days, because I realized I was not eating enough! I'm still being careful though and making sure that I get all I need to get by way of protein & stuff.

Well I am really tired. I have a busy day tomorrow. I am going to the Neurologist in the morning before work but after I take Lexi to the orthodontist and to pick up our glasses. Then I need to drop off my regular glasses & they will put the new progressive lenses in them.
I can't believe I have to get progressive lenses. Oh well! I also had to get stronger readers as well! The joys of getting old!

I'm going to finish my glass of wine & head to bed!
I hope you all have a great evening.

Godspeed!
