Working on it

Well, I was a good girl today and I've got one thing to say about it. Being a good girl just doesn't taste as good as pumpkin praline cheesecake!! For breakfast I had 1 piece of pepperidge farms cinnamon toast and yes I confess, I put a pat of butter on it. I decided I can cut back and even give up a lot of it but I just CANNOT eat fake butter. If it's any consolation I used half of what I'd normally use! Then I had to run some errands. Jon bought me a COOL new phone last night. The only problem was it didn't work. So after I dropped some books off to a few friends for Mom's prayer group tomorrow I went "to town" to return/exchange my new phone. They gave me no hassle at all at Verizon, just swapped it out for a new one. So, now I have a fancy schmancy new EnV2. I'm afraid it's smarter than me, but it has cool ringtones, so who cares, right!?! Then I swung by to kiss my husband and went to Wal-Mart to buy a bunch of food imposters that I can eat. Ok, so I'm being a brat. It actually wasn't that bad. I got some Fiber One bars which I love!! They are yummy and HEY, Oprah's work out guy says they're good for you! Plus some oatmeal that Dad had me pick up for him last spring when I went to the store while we were in NC. I remembered him telling me his Dr told him to get it for his cholesterol, so I git that too, cranberry and blueberry. And, of course, stuff for salads. I have to admit I'm just not real big on cooked veggies, but I can kill a salad! After Wal-mart I went home and ate some chili, and I didn't even put ANY cheese or sour cream on it. I'd kinda forgotten what chili really tastes like! It wasn't bad, it wasn't cheese and sour cream, but I didn't gag or anything. After lunch I stopped over by Katie's to help paint. Praise God, she was already done for the day ~ lol. So we just visited for awhile and I got to play and fuss with the birthday boy. When I got home I read some blogs and saw that Angie was making chicken and noodles for supper. I thought to myself, "Self, you can eat chicken and noodles...no oil, no cheese, no sour cream, no red meat. Hmmm." So, being the free thinking original cooker that I am, I totally copied Angie and made chicken and noodles for dinner (no, I did not make homemade noodles, I used Amish noodles). That was quite good. I'm not going to lie ~ cheese sounds real good right now. Unfortunately, croaking does not, so I'll pass on the cheese. I also called the dr's office today and had them call me in a $4 statin scrip of some sort. I'll pick it up Friday when I'm in Mt Vernon. No worries Dad, I'm getting on it! I haven't exercised yet, BABY STEPS PEOPLE!! I need to go now to read my chapter for tomorrows group meet and to do my Bible Study for today. I usually do that in the morning, but today I sort of hit the ground running. I love you all!!!!
