Krispy Kreme screamed my name....

And I plugged my stinnkin' ears!!!!

It felt awesome! There were plenty of times that I wanted to reach my hand out and take just a little taste. A small morsel never killed anyone....but I resisted. It was hard but it was worth it! I rewarded myself with a Limey Blimey protein smoothie from Tropical Smoothie. The smoothie weighs in at about 300 calories and less than 2 grams of fat but is packed with protein! I couldn't drink the whole thing. Not long ago I could go into Tropical Smoothie and drink down a shake plus Lillian's and still have room to eat! I was nearly sick after drinking just half of it!

My method today for making it through the donut shop was packing myself full of protein before I left and taking a bag of melon balls to much on afterwards. It seemed to work! For breakfast I had the following:

1 Tortilla
1 cup of cooked egg whites mixed with 2 Tbs of plain greek yogurt (cooked together)
1/4 cup shredded 2% sharp cheddar cheese
2 slices of Butterball Turkey Bacon

42 g protein

My goal for today was to plan my meals out in advance and exercise at least 30 minutes. Done. The exercise wasn't the highest quality but it was exercise none the less. The routine for today consisted of a 5 minute walk around the yard, 15 minutes on the recumbent bike at level 3 resistance and a jaunt at the park with Lillian. She rode her bike around the 1/4 mile track and I walked next to her. We played on the playground together. This is what I want. I want to be the mom on the playground swinging and sliding down the slides. Lillian insisted that I climb up the tower with her and slide down. Terrified doesn't even begin to describe my feelings toward that slide. Who would think a green piece of plastic could be so scary? In my mind I could see myself getting on the slide next to her and not fitting. I looked at that slide many times before I dared to climb on. When I sat down I realized that I might just make it. There was nothing easy about it but I didn't get stuck. I slid down and off the thing and went for it one more time! Hallelujah! God is great!
