Going Strong

Day 5 and that is 5 days of healthy breakfasts!  I can do this but I will NOT get cocky so soon.  I know myself and 5 days is still earlier enough to fall off the health train.  I must admit, I am getting energy.  I didn't see it on Day 3 but looking over my Day 4 and now this morning, I can tell a difference in myself-  of course it could be psychosomatic.  I believe that the mind has great influence over the body (of course I'm not the only one, but I'm just saying "I believe it too!").  But what happens when you have a great attitude that you will lick that weight struggle and it just doesn't happen?  Does that mean you don't really have a great attitude- that I CAN DO THIS resolve?  I don't think so; just like some with 98% positive attitudes about defeating cancer can still succumb to this hateful, awful, sickening disease.  It isn't fair.  She had the right stuff to beat the odds yet she still lost her fight.  RIP Janet and may God comfort your family and friends during this time. I believe we can have that 98% (let's face it, doesn't doubt creep in?) determination and still fail?  Of course, we can think it but until we do it, it's just that-- in our minds.

I might have mentioned in a previous post that I moved my stationery bicycle back into the TV room.  Last night I got off my duff and put the pedal to the metal or actually the pedal round and round!  I spent 40 minutes on the bicycle and felt great.  That's the energy I'm talking about since I've started the day on the right path.

Day 4 was a busy day at the church.  We invited a neighborhood apartment complex to breakfast.  I was busy cooking and serving so I didn't get a chance to sit down and eat (I did sit down and visit...you know this Strawberry--has to meet new people).  Thankfully I woke up with enough time to eat a bowl of oatmeal.  Yum.

Day 5- more oatmeal and a banana.  Not exactly a huge "queen" meal, but I hit the snooze button too many times!!!

Have a great day, Grainiacs and remember I love you and am rooting for you.
