Spring Is In The Air…Hope Renewed
Im not sure but I think a Robin has magical powers. When I see them hopping around the yard or hear them singing…it just lifts my spirits…it brings hope. I think its one of the reasons I love Spring…that feeling of coming out of the dark, cold, lonely winter. Hope that there are brighter days ahead…warmer days ahead…joy and life ahead. I watched them this morning just before the sun was up…hopping around the yard…checking me out in the window watching them. I don’t know if this feeling will last, but Im praying it does. I still feel the other things Im dealing with…but the hope is bubbling up too. Its 32 degrees right now but Spring is in the air…I FEEL it!
Yesterday went good. Still working on waiting for hunger, stopping when satisfied. Still trying to figure my stomach out and if what I feel is what I think it is or not. Im pretty sure I have sinus issues but will stick it out with OTC meds…still have a headache and very sleepy. Enjoyed having all my boys here last night (my daughter ended up not being here tho). Things went really good with only a few small problems. I like to laugh and cut up with them…we don’t get enough of that. But anyway…here is my food journal for yesterday.
9:30 am~Egg Beaters (1/2 c)
Mini bagel w/ butter (1t.)
1:45 pm~Egg salad on Sandwich Thin
Mini pretzels (1/2 serv)
Small apple w/ peanut butter (1 T)
5:35 pm~Chicken Alfredo (Pizza Hut) (aprox 1 1/2c)
2 breadsticks (these were not good but I ate them???WHY???)
Cherry vanilla yogurt, non fat 6 oz
8:00 pm~Hungry Girl Choc. Cupcake (2) w/ Lite Cool Whip (aprox 2 T)
Water = 96 oz.
My stomach was beginning to rumble before I went to bed…but I didn’t eat and this AM I woke up hungry…a first in a while.
Ready for a GREAT THURDAY BUDDIES??? Lets do this! Spring is coming…clothes get smaller…lighter…less. We want less to cover up right? So come on and make today the best you can make it…just today…start with this morning and go one step at a time. If you screw up at one meal…Get it right the next meal. Don’t use one lapse in judgment as an excuse to blow the whole day or the whole week. I did recently and gained 6 pounds over 2 weeks…Don’t do it! We don’t need to be perfect…I struggle with this too. If I cant be perfect, I’ll be a perfect failure…NO! We don’t have to be one or the other. Just the best we can be…

Yay Debbi
Yeah there is just something about having spring coming that makes us feel good-thankfully!!
Right now, for us its rain and cold..but we break for spring break friday lol. Just knowing its coming though is enough to lift our spirits.
Beautiful pic girl…things like that just makes me feel good and relaxed so thanks for sharing that.
Ok girl…get out there and have an awesome day now! love ya, me lol
Really uplifting blog. Thanks girlie
I love spring! It always come late here. We all have our own signs, for me that’s tulips opening up in my garden. I have them planted in three beds, and planted some last year around an apple tree. I am very curious to see if they will be any good this spring.
love the positive blog! Ya , can’t wait for spring myself. we had a day of nice weather last week and i took advantage of it.walked about 3 miles. but today it is 31 and very cold. our town has flooding all over due to all the rain we have gotten this week. glad you had a good time with the boys maybe next time your daughter will be there.
You’re doing great! Love the comeback and seeing you out of the slump! Keep it up.
Spring is in the air, the robins are everywhere and I’ve even seen a bluebird! We are getting some very badly need rain and it’s cold again, but I know by Sat. that it will be better and then everything will be GREEN(like screamin). I hope you are feeling better, sinus trouble is the pitts, have you ever tried one of those nasal pots I keep hearing about? I keep thinking I’ll get one but just never have, one of my friends swears by hers. Supposed to wash out all the yucky stuff and make you breath better, makes sense to me. Renewal, is a goo theme, I think we should all renew our commitment to ourselves. Want to? Take care of yourself. Love ya, Becca
Thats our Debbi
good attitude, motivated…and happy!!!!
I love the pic of the bridge….beautiful.
Glad you had fun with your boys last night..laughing is the best medicine I think
You have a great THURSDAY!!! Today is the day…one big HAPPY DAY!!!
Love ya

thats a battle for me - to wait for hunger (real hunger - not just munchies) and stop early so my stop-eating feeling can catch up. I just love food and being on campus now with all of these yummy choices is not helping. thanks for the reminder.
Yes I love the robins out there too. They always bring hope with melodies.
Great menu you did yesterday Debbi. You are rolling now. That bridge picture was awesome.
Anyway, I saw this today from another buddy and want to share it with you:
Just curious when was the last time you looked into a mirror and addressed yourself as “Gorgeous,” “Magnificent,” or “Sublime? It matters.

Yes its time for the butterfly in you to emerge and fly away from the old troubles. You are going on to bigger and better things for you in this life. And I am very proud of you for doing it.
Been feeling the same renewal. I do feel it is time for things to get better, thanks for confirming this. Hope you feel better from your sinuses!
Yeah… You’re getting back at it big time! You sound like you’re feeling better. Excellent! Keep it up.. You can do it!
