Day 32

TIP OF THE DAY: Watch out for fruit juices, they often contain added sugars that can increase your calorie intake dramatically. Opt for water, or diluted fruit juice (three quarters water and one quarter juice).

Today as some of you may know is the 2 year anniversary of my mothers death. 2 years have gone by so fast and yet so slow. Not a day goes by when I don't think of my best friend. RIP Mom, I love you and miss you so much but I know you are watching over us all.

Mom, We'll always remember that special smile,that caring heart and that warm embrace you always gave us.You being there for Dad and us through good and bad times,no matter what.We'll always remember you Mom because there will never be anyone who can ever replace you in our hearts, and the love we will always have for you.

Because this was such a hard day for me I tried to keep myself occupied. Sometimes it worked and other times I had to hold back the tears. I know that she is in a better place now and not suffering but part of me is selfish and want her here with me!

sorry for the sappy intro but I have found that if I write down my feelings I don't turn to food for comfort. So with that being said, on to what I ate;

BREAKFAST:
1 strawberry yogurt-1 point
1 chocolate milk-1 point

LUNCH:
1 grilled Chicken breast-3 points
1 Bun-3 points
1 Tbs. Light Mayo-1 point
1 slice Cheddar Cheese-3 points

DINNER: @ Pockets (yum)
1 Greek salad in a whole wheat pita-13 points (again, YUM!!)

Total points- 25 out of 31 points. I am surprised that on this day I ate under my points. Again, writing down my feelings REALLY helped!

I also drank 9 glasses of water!! WOO HOO!!!

Today I walked 6,150 steps(3.2 miles!!) That is SO much better then yesterday. I can't wait to see what I get to tomorrow after I walk ALL OVER the hospital. :)

Well that's it for today, Have a GRRRREAT day!!
