145 Days to Go and 144 Days to Go

Ugh.  I HATE being sick.  I feel no power to get up, let alone exercise.

Let's start with Day 145.  That was my birthday.  The big TWO, ONE!  I told myself I wouldn't get a drink because of all the calories, but while at Roadhouse, I figured why not?  I probably wouldn't have a "first time" chance again.  I ordered a margarita.  I figured there were probably 300 to 500 calories in it.  Well, that's okay because I barely drank it!! So I definally knew I didn't even get to my 300 calories! Haha

I did splurge on my birthday.  Not as much as I thought I would though.  I only had one roll, which is completely amazing because I could literally eat ten baskets of those delicious rolls!!  And you must not forget the lovely butter to put on it.  I did do some research though before I went.  I looked at how many calories were in the green beans and salad that I usually get.  Not too shaby afterwards. I was completely lazy yesterday afternoon.  I took a nap.  :o)  Oh yes, it felt good, especially being a birthday nap.

Onto Day 144.  I got up fairly early.  I did start the day out well on my diet, but I staggered off.  And I know it's because I've slacked on reading Made to Crave.  When I started reading the book the first time, I remember basically skimming through the pages, one after another, just to find the "simple fix."  I thought I couldn't get enough reading in, and wanted to keep reading and reading.  I stopped half-way through the book.

I need to re-read this book.  I need to learn the know-how to live my life to the fullest, same with the Bible.  I know I do not want to go back to where I was.  I know I gained 0.7 pounds, but I lost 16 in January.  I want to keep going.  And whoever is praying out there for me, thanks, because it has really helped me. And please continue to do so.

Well, I'm off to bed for a goodnight's rest.  I am going to Newtone tomorrow for a zumba class, and then come home and practice for my zumba later tomorrow night!!  Yay for zumba!! Ha.
