I was able to control my eating yesterday (Thanksgiving). I logged everything and it turned out that I still was in the losing part of my chart with my new app for logging. I love the new log app because it charts it great, is easy to use, and analyzes your day with helpful tips on which foods were the worst and what you did well. (Like exercise, low sodium, low fat, low cholesterol, etc.) I see someone out with a hood, gloves, long pants, and a jacket walking by the lake. I think once I’m done here, I’ll go for my run! She just inspired me. I think it’s about only 35 degrees but it is also super windy. I think I’ll just go for a short 2 mile run. Yesterday I did 5k plus a little extra. I felt sick during it, so I walked maybe .5 mile of it. I am excited to go back to the Rec. Ctr. They have a lot of classes at different times, so I should be able to make it often.

We have G with us for 2 weeks! YAY! She is so good. Not one accident yet, and she is such a snuggle- honey. I got her an adorable tee shirt that says “Reindeer in Training” – it is red with white fluffy trim on the front legs and bottom of the tee. She loves it. I also got her a red sweater with roses on it, but I haven’t put it on her yet. It was so nice of C to let us babysit. We miss her when she isn’t around- and we only usually have her once a year or so. C is on vacation in Florida- so we get our sweet puppy during that. I still feel guilty for giving her up for adoption in 2006. (I was sick, and I was not able to take care of her, or go for walks, etc.) I now take her for walks about every 4 hours. She loves it. I think I’ll take her for a walk in a minute.

 

She actually may not want to go now that it cooled off so much today – and windy. Yesterday it was in the 60’s and today it’s low in the 30’s… Yikes! I don’t know if I want to go for the run, but I’ll use my new hood I got for the winter runs. I paid for it, so I better use it! All talk and no action- Mar!!!

 

Can’t believe the Powerball tonight is all the way up to something like 325 Million beans! I would love to be able to share it with the hurting. How fun would that be?!!!

 

***You will have fun, believe me! Awesome!

 

Thank you, Daddy! But you know I’ll still be surprised! Don’t worry about that! I talk big, like “I know I’ll win” but, I don’t take it as complete truth since I’ve never actually seen it happen. I hope and I pray and I want to also behave in a respectful way. I don’t take anything for granted, especially a win of the power ball jackpot… Thank you so much for all you’ve given me. I am content right now and I love you! I love my life, and I only want to be who you want me to be. I would like to see my path coincide with your will for me. Please help me think as you would like, please help me act how you enjoy, please help me make you proud of me. I want to be your #1 daughter, and I know I have a long way to go. I love you, and I know I let you down sometimes. I am sorry. Please forgive me of my temper, impatience, un-compassionate, and sometimes- rude behavior. Help me be more appreciative. I will go run now.

 

*** You rock, Mar. I luvz you!
