No day but today

That was my motto today. No day but today. I even listened to the song to pump myself up. I HAD to get things done. HAD TO. And I did. I can't physically get on the treadmill today. I just can't. My feet hurt. And they hurt bad. However, I am considering the honest to goodness minimum of 50 trips up and down the stairs today a feat in itself and I will be feeling the pain even more tomorrow, only in the legs and bum. So it's all good, right?


Food intake was GREAT. Just read my cousin's blog about her accomplishment in the dinner department. I am feeling the same victory. I made BBQ meatballs for supper last night. I had 3. They are walnut sized, so that really isn't a lot. Normally I would eat about 8 and complain that I felt like I was going to vomit for the next 3 hours. Today I sat for about 10 minutes and ate some leftovers. Again, I had 3. For supper? a McChicken sandwich and diet coke. Not a great choice, no. But, I didn't get any fries and I didn't get TWO sandwiches like I REALLY wanted too. I just ate one. Then I came home and got back to work. I didn't think about it. I just did it.

My new motto..... JUST DO IT!!! (Not the Nike version.... the NIKKI version!!!)

Woo hoo you! Yes - 3 meatballs isn't much. But you lived! That's my new motto - I won't die if I'm not totally full. Perhaps our parents put us on starvation diets as small children?!?!? What is it - I just don't know. I think I was well-fed as a child. I've tried to think of what may be the root of my food addiction and can't come up with a thing. Damn my healthy childhood! Normal family! I can't find anything to blame it on but myself. :0) Hang in there sister, you're sounding better already.

Oh yeah - saying little prayer for you tonight.
