Day One

Today is going well so far. I decided to return to my abandoned workout regimen along with the fast and I actually pulled myself out of bed at 5:15 this morning to do it (ask me in two weeks how that's going ;-) A great start to the day (along with my devotions of course!)

When I got to work, I had to move offices which worked out perfectly. I am all alone now in a tucked away office where I can focus and not get caught up in all the office conversation. This afternoon, a late Christmas package arrived from one of our vendors full of Godiva chocolates. I could hear everyone out in the hall way eating it and raving about how great it was. I could hear my co-worker, Mike going from office to office offering chocolate. I was bracing myself for the offer, but it never came. I guess he didn't know I was in that office and passed it by. Whew!

I didn't get very hungry during the day and snacked on peanuts. By the time 5:00 rolled around, I was feeling it. My walk to the Metro was filled with so many smells and sights...all food! It was like I was tuned in to every rustling candy wrapper, saw every Styrofoam container of food (and wondered what was inside of course), and smelled every edible item I passed. I hopped on the Metro and I began my usual, "What am I eating for dinner?" train of thought. I had settled on either shrimp & broccoli or pizza when I realized I couldn't have either one.

Boo!! lol
