Well, my first day of Atkins dieting is over and day 2 is underway. I didn’t really have a good day yesterday because I had nothing to eat in the house until around 2:00. If I ever do this again I will plan better. I thought that I had planned well yesterday but I was wrong. I had planned to eat little or nothing for breakfast because we were out of eggs and I had nothing but ground sausage that would fit in the diet. Then I planned to go to the grocery store around 9 so that I could have plenty of food by the time lunch rolled around. It didn’t exactly happen that way. Between phonecalls and other distractions Owen needed a nap before I could get out of the house to go to the store. So I couldn’t go until he was up again and I didn’t want to make him go without lunch so it was nearly 1:30 before I left the house and nearly 3:00 before I could eat. I didn’t eat much then because the hunger had sort of worn off and I wanted to make dinner anyway.
Kris got home around 5:30 and we had beanless chili for dinner. We put sour cream and grated cheese in it and I chopped up some green peppers to give it some form of soup identity. It was pretty good but I will probably be able to do better now that I have more food and more time.
This morning I ate an omelet with green pepper, cheese and ham in it. It was good but I couldn’t eat it all, I was stuffed. I’m very glad that I like water. I have been so thirsty and I’ve always preferred water when it’s a real thirst. Nothing else quite quenches. When it’s just something to wash food down, I like something a little sweet. Today for lunch I am meeting Pastor Sandy at Applebees. We are going to discuss the next Ladies Night of Laughter. I think I’ll go online and take a look at their menu ahead of time so that I can get an idea of what I can order.
I just looked at Owen and he is standing at the phone by my bed with his fingers all up on the keypad of the phone. He has them curved as if he’s trying to type like I am doing. Cute.
