Friends are fantastic! A picture of Me!

I don't have too much to say today... other than thank heavens for friends! New ones, old ones, and even the middle aged ones! They come into your lives right when you need them! I'd been working hard...if not well, and right when I was about to go home and eat, a great person calls me up out of the blue and says hey...let's go to dinner! I am sure she needed to get out of the house, but man, so did I! Metaphorically speaking! It was just wonderful to have an adult to talk to and spend time with! I have wonderful co-workers and lots of good friends, but being the singleton that I am, it is easy to feel out of the loop, and it is so nice to have someone notice that and make an effort! I wish I was better at that...I hereby resolve to be better at that! I don't call people or make the effort because I have that little inner critic sitting inside my head that says...man, don't bug people! They are busy with their own lives, and you shouldn't interrupt them and ask for them to take time away from their families...I think my inner critic is a very bad person! Dare I call her a bad name? Yes...I think it's safe to do so! Unfortunately I can't take credit for that idea, I'm reading a memoir some lady wrote about losing weight, and she came up with that idea first! I can steal the thought though!

Jen's food journal:

Breakfast...none...very bad...but I didn't even get up until 10am!!! I did take my vitamins though.

Lunch: yogurt 2 & 2/3rds cup

Dinner: Chicken in rosemerry & garlic, string beans/tomatoes, angel hair pasta, Salad with vinigrette dressing. I didn't finish the pasta and only ate maybe half of it. I didn't finish the beans, but I did eat the salad and the chicken. Oh yes...shameful...I did have the best 4 bites of white bread I've had in 2 months! Nice and lightly dipped in olive oil and roasted garlic!

My oh My...dinner was yummy! I almost got all my water today, and I didn't take all my vitamins. Not the most sucessful day...I WILL do better tomorrow! I also don't feel like berrating myself either. I know I didn't go overboard, and I did portion control what I did eat. THAT was a sucess. I never knew I could do that!
