I made it until 2:41 pm

Every morning I look in the mirror and say, 'I can do this'. I am doing my best to get off junk food. Everyday I make my very healthy lunch [yes, one of the downfalls of Larry in school. I am now on my own in the lunch making department and must admit at first it felt very awkward to me. Where is my Larry Boy? It just doesn't taste as good and when I eat it, I don't quite feel so loved].

Yesterday it was the M&M's that called out to me at Pebbles... rather boldly at 2:41pm. I remember looking at the clock. Darn it! Last month, I was so focused, with God as my partner on my healthy eating program and then something happened. I made fresh salsa and threw myself off a cliff. Since that time I believe I have made 6 gallons of salsa and with that comes chips and suddenly my chocolate cravings popped up. Oh stop!

For now I will continue on with my very healthy lunches and pray that my focus will kick in once again on my continued quest for weight loss. Wish me luck!

Pit Night

Ashlee & Paul, Lindsey and I went up to my niece Sandi's home for a lively game of Pit and potluck dinner. Sandi was sure to call it a Pit night, rather than a dinner party. Either way, I believe it was a 'do again' and will leave it in Ashlee & Sandi's hands to plan... this night was years in the planning. We enjoyed seeing her home, a cozy little bungalow that she is fixing up nicely.
