Day 26

~11:16a

Got to sleep in today which was good.  Had bizarre dreams again.  Had my usual breakfast today.  Not sure what lunch will be, think I’ll raid the fridge.  Going to hit the gym after that.  Might go to Walmart first but not for sure yet.  I also need to go to the grocery store so I might do both once it cools down a bit.

~11:18p

12 hours later 🙂  Went to dinner with Sara at Rubio’s Fish Tacos and had a chicken burrito.  It was tasty.  Went to Wal-Mart and WinCo afterwards and got shopping out of the way for the weekend.  Came home and watched Moulin Rouge with Sara.  Good movie, sad though.

Praying tonight for my sisters friend who is recovering from surgery tonight.  It’s going to be a life-altering surgery, please pray for her to adapt quickly.  Thanks all.  Also, a real answer to prayer for my friend Wendi.  She has had a few people step up and help out with her works situation and it looks like she might be able to fill the position that was vacated earlier this month soon!

Day 6

~8:49
Got to sleep in today which was nice. Although I was having a bizarre dream that combined Mario Brothers, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and Spiderman. It was fun but frustrating. 🙂 Going to take Dax to get a bath today and run some errands with Sara. I had a granola bar and coffee for breakfast.

~5:20p

Bored out of my mind! Think I might go to Borders or Target just to walk around. Maybe price bicycles again. I’ve got a lot on my mind right now, maybe some alone time just praying will help.

For lunch I had a Turkey Sandwich, yogurt and soy milk. Not sure what the plan is for dinner. I’ll figure it out on the way I guess.

~11:36p

Didn’t end up doing the quiet time tonight. I made dinner for myself (hotdogs, a nectarine and green beans) and watched an episode of Star Trek TNG. It was a good episode, distracting at least. Sara and I went to Starbucks and I got a Grande Chai Latte with Soy Milk. It was good but I can really tell how much sugar goes in to those now. I don’t think I’ll be getting one again soon. Overall I still have a lot on my mind, turning it over to God to help me sort it all out. Really looking forward to small group tomorrow. It’s our first week back after the summer hiatus. I miss my friends. All of them. Night.

Day 5

~9:26a

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.

~12:33p

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!

~7:25

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.
