I woke up feeling tired even though I went to bed early. I’m wondering if I only really need 6-7 instead of 8 hours of sleep at night. The coffee and Mini-Wheats breakfast seems to have given me a boost so I’m feeling ok right now. I might be having lunch with Kathy at Rice Bowl, but not for sure. She’s been in a lot of pain recovering from surgery. Pray for her please. I am amazed I haven’t eaten out at all since Monday. This is the longest I’ve gone in a long time without eating out. It’s definitely an unhealthy and expensive habit, one I’m hoping this new lifestyle will help me change. My goal was 10 times in a week as opposed to 15-21 times which was my old norm. More later. Sara’s going to the Dr. today to see what’s wrong with her stomach. Please throw a few prayers her way too as she has been struggling for a week now with moderate to severe stomach pain. Thanks all.

Good news, Sara is feeling a lot better today and her doctors appointment went well. Praise God! We met for lunch at Rice Bowl since Kathy went somewhere else. I had Chicken Rice Soup which was decent once I added salt and soy sauce. The good news is it filled me up and I didn’t eat it all. I have a container leftover that I’ll have for a snack later. Feels like progress that I’m controlling not only what I’m eating but how much too. 3.25 hours and it’s my weekend!

I cooked hot dogs and grilled corn with roasted peppers for dinner. It was a good meal, although the peppers were way too spicy. Sara couldn’t eat them because of her recent stomach issues. I liked the flavor though so I will prolly regret it tomorrow. 😉 Anyways, going to go get a decaf passion tea from Starbucks and have a glass of Soy Milk tonight for dessert. All in all not a bad way to end day 5. The weekend is going to be interesting.
