A day of possibilities emerges…

By Steve:

Today is a good day. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. Have you ever woken up in the morning and for the first time in your life looked in the mirror and said I don’t look half bad? That’s what today has been like.

I have several pieces of good news. First of all I get to stop taking my cholesterol medicine… which I’ve been on for eight years! My cholesterol is NORMAL! If you don’t read my regular blog my family has a long history of heart disease, and this is really good news.

Second… My doctor got my water therapy/aerobics set up to start on Monday, which I’m very excited about!

Finally, I had an epiphany today and realized that all the drama isn’t worth my time or energy. I sent out some apologies and I’m ready to move on.

Now let’s talk about today’s food:

Breakfast: Slim-Fast + 1/2 Cup Milk (245), Lunch: Protein Shake + 1/2 cup milk (175), Dinner: Carnation Instant Breakfast (190) Total: 610

I’m starting an all liquid protein diet for a week to get some weight off quickly. I know that many don’t agree with this method, but frankly it’s my body and I’ll do what I want.

Take care of yourselves. Hug someone you love, and say what you never say enough.
