Mid-morning Snack: 8:00a.m. 1 Strawberry yogurt, 1/2 bottle Dasani water.

Fell asleep around 11:30a.m. Had a headache...slept until 1:30p.m.

My eating has been off this week since one of our doggies hasn't been feeling well. I spend more time attending to him, that I'm not concentrating on what I need to be eating. I just don't have the appetite right now. Once he's okay I'll get back on track. But I am eating, so that is a plus!

It's raining.....been raining all afternoon.
After the doggies have their dinner(which is late by the way), I'm going to turn off the phone, settle in with a good book or The Good Book(Bible), get into my thermal jammies, grab the dogs and tuck them into bed with me and call it an early evening. Nothing on t.v. I care to watch tonight. Not even a re-run of "The Waltons" is fascinating me enough to want to stay up tonight.

I'm tired. I feel totally wiped-out today.

Saturday morning...5a.m.

Woke up feeling quite refreshed!

Found that the doggie I've been soooo concerned about jumped off the bed and into his lil' bed on the floor during the middle of the night. Bless his heart....And Praise the Lord....."Lucky" is walking this morning as if NOTHING was ever wrong with him at all! Yes, I believe in miracles! Thank You Jesus!!! woooo hoooo!!!

Breakfast:5:30a.m. 2 chicken breasts, 2 bottles/Dasani water, 1 serving brocolli/cauliflower & dressing for dipping sauce. 1 container Blueberry yogurt.

My energy level is THRU THE ROOF this morning! I've taken out the garbage, washed and dried a load of clothes, put dinner dishes from last night, away......

Today is supposed to be a beauty of a day....I'm praying so! If that's the case, then I WILL be outside!

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE...LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!

7a.m. I'm supposed to be having a snack right about now. Think it's going to be grapefruit slices(8oz.) And I need to finish off this 2nd bottle of water.

I've got some errands to run in a few minutes...I'll be back to post later on.

PRAISE HIM!!!!

Still in a great mood! Sun is shining, birds are singing...neighborhood kids are actually playing outside today....Nice.

9a.m. Watched a movie on YouTube this morning while having my mid-morning snack.....8 oz. grapefruit slices. 1/2 bottle Dasani water.

12Noon: Lunch: Tuna w/a lil' mayo wrapped up in 3 lettace leaves. 2 small baked potatoes with a tsp of butter/sour cream, and 1/2 bottle water.

12:30p.m.-2:30p.m. Outside in the yard. Raking up the last of the leaves from last fall that we'd piled behind the garage. Let the doggies out to romp around. Talked to my friend/neighbor Marge across the fence. Her "grand-dog" Patsy, came out and "talked" to 2 of our dogs. They're funny!

Watered the rose bush and Rose of Sharon bush I planted last fall, and the German Statice that's growing around the gas lightpole in our back yard. We've got containers in the yard that thru the fall and winter have collected a lot of rain water and snow.....using it to water the plants and trees in the yard for now. We've also got containers on the back corners of the house that collect rainwater from the house gutters(Comes in handy in the middle of summer when it's hot and things need to be "nourished").

Pulled out the lawn furniture, wiped down the chairs....They're drying in the sun.

Hope the weather is nice again tomorrow! If so, then I can finally pull out the patio tables and lawn tent. We've got outside electric plugs and I can sit in it when the heat of the summer is on, with a lil' electric fan(in case there's no breeze), with my Bible & something to snack on...while the dogs run around the yard. Yeeee hawww...Love ya' spring, but I'm ready to see summer get here!

4:00p.m. Going to warm up chicken breasts and another baked potato for dinner, 1/2 bottle water and Strawberry yogurt for desert.

6:00p.m. 8 oz. Grapefruit slices, 1/2 bottle water

I've reset my weight losing goals for the next 3 weeks. I'm shooting for a 3 pound loss/week. Sound more realistic than trying for 5, but I WON'T complain if I do lose 5/week instead of 3.

Sunday.....Woke up really late this morning(10a.m.)....Felt kind of blah, out of sorts....not my normal "self"...knew something wasn't "right". I have a UTI.

Breakfast: 10:30a.m. Blueberry yogurt and a bottle of water.

Lunch: Chicken breasts and leftover potato from last night. 1/2 bottle Dasani water.

Went outside and raked leaves for about an hour. Got a big mess cleaned up. No mid-morning snack.

Dinner @ 4p.m. A few bites of tuna fish, and a 1/2 bottle of water.

Fell asleep after dinner.....Didn't wake up until almost 8:30p.m. (Missed C-O-O-L Church)

Had to go to the store tonight and pick up cranberry juice-even though it's one of the "restricted" things on my program, I can't deal with the pain from a UTI. So from now on, I'm going to incorporate it into my eating plan-just will drink a small glass of it along with all the water I have to drink during the day...

Feeling a lil' better.

10:39 a.m. Monday morning.

Slept in again. Feeling kind of "uggy".

Late breakfast: Blueberry yogurt and a bottle of water.

Took more pills for the UTI. Need to go to the pharmacy today and get a refill.

Sun is coming out...finally! Looks to be a pretty day after all.

Thursday morning....720a.m.

Woke up with an appetite this morning! Yay! Finally! The past couple of weeks has been a whirlwind of ups and downs with me....Not following the program because I have been stressing again over finances being not what they should, a dog who is in need of dental surgery, another dog who's hips are "going out" and still my lack of not being able to find a job after almost 2 1/2 years.

Our Bichon, Lucky had his dental surgery yesterday. It was the 1st time in 7 years since we've had him that he has been away from me at that length of time. I tried to catch some shut-eye while he was 'gone', but tossed and turned. Everytime I finally started to doze off, the phone would ring....By the time I had to pick him up from the hospital, I was literally ready to drop....No energy what-so-ever...emotions on "high"(crying at the drop of a hat)...ready for everything to just be over with so we could get back some "normalcy" in our lil' house.

Got Lucky home, in the driving rain and thru lots of traffic. People are absolute NUTS when the weather is lousy. It was foggy...Half the vehicles that passed me on the other side of the road didn't have their lights on...I keep blinking mine, hoping that would signal them to turn theirs on.....No one paid attention. How sad..They just drove on by....blind....

Lucky was NOT happy. He was still coming out of the anesthesia, groggy....and pretty much wouldn't give me the time of day. He laid in his lil' doggie bed in the dining room and turned his back to me. Broke my heart....and yes...I cried like a lil' kid.

He wouldn't eat his dinner, but I was able to give him the antibiotics and pain medication(crushed the pills up and put them in peanut butter and he licked it from the tips of my fingers. He still was in pain....We laid on the bed later on. Him taking up most of the space(but of course), while I managed to find a place near the edge of the mattress. His breathing was shallow...He shook and cried in his sleep. I covered him with a blanket, rubbed his back and prayed.

I pulled out my Bible and started reading to him. Crying....trying to read thru the tears from being both exhausted at the events that have taken place these past few weeks/days, and really letting the Word sink into my heart. I cried out to Jesus....

About an hour or so later, I was able to find some calm in this storm...and I fell asleep next to my dog in the arms of Jesus. Slept only 4 hours, but woke up with a new awareness of His many blessings of better days ahead, and a clear mind...and appetite. Thank You Jesus!

I am back on track.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALLLLLL BLESSINGS FLOW! AMEN

Sorta......I love you too sis!

Thank you for posting that video....It's a song that I've been singing all thru this winter when "stuff" was going on......I hadn't been singing it lately......

Thank you for reminding me that no matter what I, or anyone else is going thru, we need to always remember to PRAISE HIM IN THIS STORM.

He can carry us in His arms if He needs to..And when we don't think He is, all we have to do is look down and if we see but one set of footsteps, then we know He is there....

Thank you for comforting me with this sorta. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Breakfast: 8 oz. grapefruit slices, 1/2 bottle water

Mid-morning snack: strawberry yogurt, 1/2 bottle water

No lunch. Crashed out on the couch with 2 of my doggies...Slept until 330 this afternoon. Let them out, then made myself a "lettace sandwich" with thinly sliced ham and individual slices of soy based cheese. 1/2 bottle of water(early dinner).

No afternoon snack....Still drinking the other half of bottled water.

Going to watch t.v. My doggie is feeling better. Still a lil' grumpy, but better than he was last night. Thank You Jesus \0/

Friday.....Wow, did this week drag!

Breakfast...debating on what to have. I'm really hungry. I woke up later than usual. Fell asleep on the couch last night with 2 of my doggies...went to bed at 130 this morning....Slept in...woke up at 9. They went out and did their "thang" while I looked at yesterday's mail(I'd just plopped it on the kitchen counter yesterday..untouched).

Seeing what I saw in said mail, set my temper up. I'm wondering aloud when the lying is going to stop. I'm having trouble dealing with that.

Been feeling ULTRA-sensitive lately too. The least little remark by others(in a teasing manner, i'm sure)has really cut me to my core. i walked out of chat this morning after someone commented "you're old"...It just got under my skin and left me feeling sad.....thinking "is this how ppl are going to identify me now-as being old?

Anyway...enough of my feelings.

I've decided on some thin slices of ham, a cup or two of lettace, 8 oz. grapefruit slices and a bottle of Dasani water to be breakfast.

Will be back later to post the rest of my meal plan and day.
